Custom buildpack that will install pdftk into /app/bin on Heroku. Supports cedar-14, heroku-16, and heroku-18.
Since GCJ was dropped, using: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/gcj-6-jdk/6.4.0-14ubuntu1
which needs: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/gcj-6/6.4.0-14ubuntu1 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/gcj-6-jre/6.4.0-14ubuntu1 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/gcj-6-jre-headless/6.4.0-14ubuntu1 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/gcj-6-jre-lib/6.4.0-14ubuntu1

- Add this buildpack to your app.
- Add the libgcj.so.* to your search path:
heroku config:set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/app/bin - Use /app/bin/pdftk. BTW, the default PATH includes /app/bin, so this might happen automatically.
Update the tarball_url line in scripts/build.sh
heroku create
heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/fxtentacle/heroku-buildpack-apt
git push heroku master
Now you'll have a new Heroku app on the default stack that runs the scripts/build.sh script in this buildpack. That script will download the most recent PDFTK source and configure it with default options.
Use heroku logs -t to see when compilation is done. It'll start showing dots..
heroku open
- Download the generated pdftk.zip
- Chmod +x them
- put them into
binaries-$STACK/into this buildpack. $STACK shall be the name of your stack as given in the Heroku $STACK variable.
heroku ps:scale web=0 to turn off the dyno.
