Hi,

I've been playing a while with Aqua interfaces to Python command-line
tools and would like to know if there is anybody here interested in beta-
testing one specific frontend I made for a ReportLab (Python) product 
named PageCatcher? For those who don't know it: it basically lets you
reuse PDF documents on a page level. But you can find more info here:

  http://www.reportlab.com/pageCatcher/index.html

The frontend thing does only two things so far: 1) it concatenates any 
number of PDF files into one new file and 2) it splits any multi-page
PDF file into many one page PDF files. Here is a screenshot:

So far, this is a demo and does not include a license for the PageCatcher
backend, but it is intended to make that "very cheap" as a non-server,
GUI tool, and more functionality can easily be added to it, but the final
interface might change a bit.

If anybody is interested in testing a bit and making suggestions, please
email me!

Regards,

Dinu

PS: This will work only with Python 2.2 installed in /usr/local and
a version of the ReportLab toolkit.
