It's not often I have to assemble larger numbered documents. I usually use this little script.
enscript -L1 -F --header-font=Times-Roman12 -b '||$%' -o- < <(for i in $(seq "$(pdftk "$1" dump_data | grep "Num" | cut -d":" -f2)"); do echo; done) | ps2pdf - | pdftk "$1" multistamp - output "${1%.pdf}-numbered.pdf"
I can't read this. Re-writing... enscript -L1 -F --header-font=Times-Roman12 -b '||$%' -o- < <( for i in $( seq "$(pdftk "$1" dump_data | grep "Num" | cut -d":" -f2)" ); do echo done ) | ps2pdf - | pdftk "$1" multistamp - output "${1%.pdf}-numbered.pdf" Maybe you meant, seq $(pdftk "$1" dump_data | grep Num | cut -d: -f2) seq takes number arguments, so you don't need to quote something that shouldn't be there in the first place. Also, you are printing empty lines using 'echo'. Process substitution will not like it.
I tried it on this ..
Linux HECTOR 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.36-1+deb8u2 (2016-10-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux
and got this ..
seq: invalid floating point argument: 162
162 pages with no numbers.
Could this be because the pdf's were generated in M$?
Thanks in advance.
