[gentoo-user] PDF Editor

[sean]

Hello All,

     Can anyone recommend an application to edit a pdf file, and I am 
running 64 bit Gentoo, so it needs to be compatible?

             Thanks,
             Sean

In general, PDFs aren't very editable after having been made. What kinds
of edits did you need to make?

It's easy to test them & find out (smile).

OpenOffice Writer can easily export your documents as PDF files, but for  
editing existing PDFs - I don't know :(.

I don't think this is what the OP wanted but... wow. I didn't know it. I 
just tried, it's not always perfect but it works.
It's one of these secrets of free software that should be more widely known.

Why not? Import PDF -> Edit -> Export PDF (well, print as PDF).

Hi,

As it happens I was just faced with the same question and found this:
http://applications.linux.com/article.pl?sid=05/01/06/0612209

Mostly the comments are interesting.
If you just need to fill out a form or similar you can use gimp,
but if you need to do proper editing apparently scribus is the best
tool according to this.

Hope this helps.


Cheers,

Friedrich Göpel

does the following ebuild works for you ? : 
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~sanda/pdfedit/

expect unimplemented features and bugs.
better than nothing :)

Pavel,

I have tried that ebuild (with patch) and got linking error shown below.

most i can say is that it works on my x86 box (gcc-3.3.6,binutils-2.16.1-r2).
(the patch is not needed to apply; ebuild will do.)

many reasons possible why linker doesnt find the reference and i'm not
going to debug it...
