I am using pdftk to collect specific PDF pages and output them to a new PDF file. Most of the pages are fine, but I am finding artifacts on some of the pages. The artifacts are usually similar and appear in about the same place on the page. Two examples that appear on one page are: "6_DirLine" and "6_NumList."
I'm using pdftk in a simple script (so maybe that's where the problem originates), but am wondering if this might be a problem introduced by the pdftk program itself. (Also: I'm just a school teacher trying to solve a problem at work, not a developer.)
echo "What PDF pages do you want to save? (Hint: use a single space between numbers.)"
read PAGE1
var=$(echo $PAGE1)
pdftk "$*" cat $var output "QuickQuiz'$var'".pdf
