@GarthPS have you edited the pdfsam file too?

I am using java-21-openjdk and it worked... I was able to extract pages from a pdf for example

(I had to edit the PKGBUILD and pdfsam to put only >20)

I had to reintroduce the hard dependency on java 20 because otherwise it won't do its job (try for example to extract pages from a pdf-file). You can e.g. use jdk-temurin or amazon-corretto-20-bin from the AUR in order to use a recent jdk-20.

@ronjouch @xiota

Glad to hear the new version works. Regarding building it from source: I won't change that nor will I rename the package to pdfsam-bin. The AUR submission guidelines (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines) clearly state that there is no obligation of using the -bin suffix for java packages even if prebuilt deliverables are used and the sources are available:

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

@maintainer thanks for the PKGBUILD update! Works for me on java21.

Regarding @xiota's suggestion "Because pdfsam source is available, this package should be revised to build from source" ... @maintainer if you do so, please keep the binary version as pdfsam-bin: some users (including me) prefer "from binary" packages for build convenience / speed.

Since pdfsam typically stays up to date with the the most current java versions, please remove specific java versions from the PKGBUILD.

If needed, users can set a java version themselves by running sudo archlinux-java set java-##-openjdk or editing the PKGBUILD.
