+%description
+pdf-stapler is the Fedora package for stapler, the opensource python
+project which provides a commandline tool that staples, deletes,
+concatenates and shuffles documents in the Portable Document Format
+(PDF). It is an alternative to PDFtk.
+
+From the project git page:
+
+Philip Stark found pypdf, a PDF library written in pure Python. He
+couldn't find a tool which actually used the library, so he started 
+writing his own.
+
+This version of stapler is Fred Wenzel's fork of the project, with
+a completely refactored source code, tests, and added functionality.
