I imagine you saw this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7128855/statically-compile-pdftk-for-heroku-need-to-split-pdf-into-single-page-files I have an app that is hosted on rackspace, but I have staging and qa servers set up on heroku, so I can demo changes to my client prior to pushing to prod. Right now I just disable the pdf functions in those environments, but I'd really like to get it working.
