Package: pdftk
Version: 1.41-3
echo hi | mpage -1o > input.ps
ps2pdf input.ps input.pdf
echo ho | mpage -1o > stamp.ps
pdftk input.pdf stamp stamp.ps output lala.pdf && echo
yo
Error: Failed to open stamp PDF file:
stamp.ps
No output created.
yo
^^ see it displayed "yo" because it did not return an error exit code
even though an error occured.
that's bad if you try to write scripts...
now i try to just "convert" ps to pdf:
pdftk input.ps output lala.pdf && echo yo
Error: Failed to open PDF file:
input.ps
Errors encountered. No output created.
Done. Input errors, so no output created.
^^ see, it does not display "yo" because it correctly reported error
exit code.
so to sum it up: the bug is that pdftk does not report error code if it
cannot open stamp input file.
