[转]使用Pdftk合并PDF文件

link: http://bbs.haopdf.cn/viewthread.php?tid=441

PDF文件的跨平台特性使其应用广泛，我们在工作学习中经常接触此类文件，但从网上得到的PDF文档，经常是一篇文章中单独页面，怎么把这些单独的页面重新拼合成完整的文档就成了不小的问题。

当然，我们可以借助于Adobe Acrobat中的“Create PDF|From Multiple Files”合并这些单独的页面，但Acrobat是Adobe公司的商业软件，很多朋友由于版权问题并不会安装Acrobat。那么，我们能够使用什么软件来实现同样的功能呢？那就是 Pdftk。

Pdftk是由Sid Steward写的一个PDF增强软件，也就是所谓的PDF Hacks。它可以合并/分割PDF文档、解开必要的输入密码、输出加密、给PDF文档加水印、从PDF文档中解出附件、将PDF文档变成一页等等，能够做到操作PDF文档的所有事情。

其合并文档的具体用法为：

合并多个文档成一个文档：

pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf cat output 123.pdf

使用参数：

pdftk A=1.pdf B=2.pdf cat A B output 12.pdf

使用通配符：

pdftk *.pdf cat output combined.pdf

从几个文档中分割内容合并成一个文档：

pdftk A=one.pdf B=two.pdf cat A1-7 B1-5 A8 output combined.pdf

Determine Perspective Lines With Off-page Vanishing Point

In perspective drawing, a vanishing point represents a group of parallel lines, in other words, a direction. For any point on the paper, if we want a line towards the same direction (in the 3d space), we simply draw a line through it and the vanishing point. But sometimes the vanishing point is too far away, such that it is outside the paper/canvas. In this example, we have a point P and two perspective lines L1 and L2. The vanishing point VP is naturally the intersection of L1 and L2. The task is to draw a line through P and VP, without having VP on the paper. I am aware of a few traditional solutions: 1. Use extra pieces of paper such that we can extend L1 and L2 until we see VP. 2. Draw everything in a smaller scale, such that we can see both P and VP on the paper. Draw the line and scale everything back. 3. Draw a perspective grid using the Brewer Method. #1 and #2 might be quite practical. #3 may not guarantee a solution, unless we can measure distances/p...

Chasing an IO Phantom

My home server has been weird since months ago, it just becomes unresponsive occassionally. It is annoying but it happens only rarely, so normally I'd just wait or reboot it. But weeks ago I decided to get to the bottom of it. What's Wrong My system set up is: Root: SSD, LUKS + LVM + Ext4 Data: HDD, LUKS + ZFS 16GB RAM + 1GB swap Rootless dockerd The system may become unresponsive, when the IO on HDD is persistantly high for a while. Also: Often kswapd0 has high CPU High IO on root fs (SSD) From dockerd and some containers RAM usage is high, swap usage is low It is very strange that IO on HDD can affect SSD. Note that when this happens, even stopping the IO on HDD does not always help. Usually restarting dockerd does not help, but rebooting helps. Investigation: Swap An obvious potential root cause is the swap. High CPU on kswapd0 usually means the free memory is low and the kernel is busy exchanging data between disk and swap. However, I tried the following steps, none of the...

Moving Items Along Bezier Curves with CSS Animation (Part 2: Time Warp)

This is a follow-up of my earlier article. I realized that there is another way of achieving the same effect. This article has lots of nice examples and explanations, the basic idea is to make very simple @keyframe rules, usually just a linear movement, then use timing function to distort the time, such that the motion path becomes the desired curve. I'd like to call it the "time warp" hack. Demo See the Pen Interactive cubic Bezier curve + CSS animation by Lu Wang ( @coolwanglu ) on CodePen . How does it work? Recall that a cubic Bezier curve is defined by this formula : \[B(t) = (1-t)^3P_0+3(1-t)^2tP_1+3(1-t)t^2P_2+t^3P_3,\ 0 \le t \le 1.\] In the 2D case, \(B(t)\) has two coordinates, \(x(t)\) and \(y(t)\). Define \(x_i\) to the be x coordinate of \(P_i\), then we have: \[x(t) = (1-t)^3x_0+3(1-t)^2tx_1+3(1-t)t^2x_2+t^3x_3,\ 0 \le t \le 1.\] So, for our animated element, we want to make sure that the x coordiante (i.e. the "left" CSS property) is \(...
