Re: [libreoffice-users] Importing PDF problem

Felmon,
Looks like pdftk is written in Java.

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pdftk

So the gui (Graphical User Interface) is whatever the Java Runtime 
Environment (JRE) interfaces with.  From my experience, it isn't pretty, 
but functional.

I noticed there are some other source files and some 3rd-party code in 
the package that I did not take time to investigate, and it takes Gcc to 
build it.  But one of the big ideas of Java is that it contains its own 
gui code, so the programmer's effort is greatly reduced.  I would be 
surprised if pdftk does not use the standard Java gui.
