PDFTK Builder Portable 3.2 has been released. PDFTK Builder Portable is the lightweight PDFTK Builder packaged as a portable app, so you can modify, split and watermark your pdfs wherever you go. It's packaged in PortableApps.com Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com Suite. And it's open source and completely free.
Features
PDFTK Builder is a pdf manipulation utility for Windows with a great array of features including:
- Collate - allows you to rearrange (reorder, delete, & duplicate) pages in a single document and/or merge pages from multiple PDF documents.
- Split - allows you to separate each page of a PDF document into its own file.
- Background or Stamp - 'Background' enables you to add a background to each page in a document or just the first page. The 'background' (eg a company logo, or a 'draft' watermark) must be another PDF document (the first page of that document if it has more than one page). 'Stamp' is very similar to 'background' except that the 'stamp' is placed on top of the source document.
- Rotate - 'Rotate' enables you to rotate a range of pages in a document.
- Password Protection: The new document can be password protected (encrypted) by providing 'owner' and 'user' passwords. The 'owner' password does not stop users from reading the document, but it does restrict the actions that users can perform on that document - printing, copying, decrypting etc. Specifying a 'user' password will stop anyone without either 'user' or 'owner' passwords from opening and reading the document.

PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format
PDFTK Builder Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It supports upgrades by installing right over an existing copy, preserving all settings. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.

Sweet, Simeon!
Typo
It has some typos - but nothing serious enough to justify a new revision. Who finds them first gets a piece of my π Pie!
pdf-PDF and eg
I would think you'd either put them all pdf or PDF, although I don't know which is correct.
eg should be e.g. - that's the only other thing I found.
Do I get the n Pie?!
EDIT:: I just realized you might mean typos in the actual coding/launcher. Is that what you meant?
no
the Readme has parts where it says Vlc...
And yes take the pie
I know!
The readme has references to VLC!
Do I get some pi(e) now?
yes :-)
But leave something for other happy finders.
Good Job

Yes, a pdf tool was really something missing on portable Apps... great addition!
Thank you
Nice work Simeon. I got
Nice work Simeon.
I got bored this afternoon, and on a suggestion by Patrick, tried to make a new logo for PDFTK. I used 2 icons from Everaldo's Crystal set (GPL) and put them together to come up with this result.
Let me know what you think.
I like it
but I don't know if we can replace it...but it would be definitively good as the size is probably bigger. I´d like Johns opinion on that. Personally I would be using it.
And thanks for giving it a try
We can, but...
We can replace it, but we won't have a reason to update this package for a while. The app isn't being maintained, so no updates due to an update of the base app. And the installer will be changing in the future, but probably not enough to require an app like this to be updated (unlike when we switched from the self-extractors and added in the menu refresh ability for the next platform release).
Site Logo
You can at least replace the logo on the site, for now.
Ok
I added it into the site for 128/75/16px sizes. And I have the .ico ready to go for when we do an update. Maybe we'll drop a rev 2 when we do some major installer work in a month or two.
Yes, it is a definite
Yes, it is a definite improvement.
The icon would still look plain compared with the other apps, wouldn't it?
Out of the screen
Hello,
I have a problem. I use two monitors in dual mode. When I run PdftkBuilder, its window is "half-placed" out of the screen. And, when I exit program and launch it again, the window doesn't remember its last position.
Would it be able to repair both features?
Thank you.
