As Spotlightkid pointed out, you might want to build this from source.

Comment from Kr1ss:

Since this is a Java application, I think this package (pdfsam-bin) should be merged into pdfsam, not the other way around.

Excerpt from the AUR submission guide (the 5th bullet point) :

Packages that use prebuilt deliverables, when the sources are available, must use the -bin suffix. An exception to this is with Java.

Hi @ChaosKid42, thank you for packaging this app !

This package should be called pdfsam-bin. It would be possible to build pdfsam from source, though:

@elovin. So unzip package should be in the dependencies list (I know, I should have it already, but then I know I haven't... because I use 7z)

@mercutio Tanks for spotting this. Fixed in newest release.

There's a typo in the gendesk command: It should say --pkgdesc="${pkgdesc}" instead of --pkgdesc="${pkgdesk}"

I had to change the PKGBUILD script to use unzip insted of bsdtar to decompress the zip archive.

source=("https://github.com/torakiki/${pkgname}/releases/download/v${pkgver}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-linux.zip"
        "pdfsam")
noextract=("${pkgname}-${pkgver}-linux.zip")

prepare() {

    # use unzip as opposed to bsdtar 
  unzip "${pkgname}-${pkgver}-linux.zip" -d "${pkgname}-${pkgver}-linux"

  # create *.desktop file
  gendesk -f -n \
