To find a package http://www.portagefilelist.de/ is your friend. It shows that pdf2pdf is part of media-gfx/swftools-0.9.1 which is not in the tree anymore. Furthermore it needs media-libs/pdflib which have been abandoned, as well. But there is a newer version of PDFlib Lite (7.0.5p3). Adapting the old ebuild for 7.0.4_p5 does work. Then media-gfx/swftools-0.9.1 does build and it generates pdf2pdf. Helmut.
