Today I struggled with the usage of PDFSam on my Mac.
I just needed the command line tool, not the gui. On Linux it was
apt-get install pdfsam
On my OS X I dowloaded the .dmg from www.pdfsam.org and created this tiny ‘alias’ in my ~/.profile.
alias pdfsam='java -Dlog4j.configuration=console-log4j.xml \
-classpath /Applications/pdfsam-2.2.1.app/Contents/Resources\
/Java/pdfsam-2.2.1.jar org.pdfsam.console.ConsoleClient "$@"'
On command line I can now use it like I use it on Linux.
