Hi, Thanks for the help with mintty earlier. I've had a persistent problem getting apropos to work as it never finds anything appropriate. Is there something I need to do to make this work?
The immediate need was trying to find pdf tools. Browsing the installs, it looks like pdftk will probably do what I need, along with other utilities I have. Are there additional pdf tools internal or external to cygwin people have found useful? Basically on this new computer I've managed to do without Flash so far and I'd like to try to avoid installing any Adobe reader stuff. Unfortunately, many government agencies seem to think that scanned pdf files are as good as text ( notably FDA and FCC, IRS PDF's so far seem to convert to text but formatting is awful). I noticed that pdftk has features for filling in pdf forms. Has anyone actually got examples of using this with scripts of other stuff ( let's say I wanted to fill out PDF tax forms from a script, IIRC most of these are pdf forms ).
