Aws lambda runs on amazon linux, which does not officially support pdftk or gcj, one of pdftks dependencies. This is not surprising, as lambda expressions are hard to understand. Originally developed in order to study some mathematical properties of e ectively computable functions, this formalism has provided a strong theoretical foundation.
The lambda prevented creation of a global or class static function. You will learn how to use aws lambda for specific use cases like web app development, mobile applications, file processing, or stream data processing.
