Experience using PDFedit in Kubuntu
I'm somewhere behind the moon's orbit. Why are there Luna, here is Neptune somewhere nearby.
See, I like to read books. Long ago, I realized that PDF is the best digital equivalent of a paper book, and since then tens of thousands of publicly available publications have accumulated in my electronic library. Almost the only proprietary application on my computer is Adobe Reader, simply because it is the best program of its kind.
As I improved the capabilities of Open Office in working with PDF, I was getting more and more pleasure from creating PDF from my own documents, as well as from various HTML sources. The free books of the Gutenberg project were turned into PDF documents along with drawings and other accompaniments. But the ability to edit PDF-documents created by others, was absent completely. That is why I am now somewhere in space: finally, you can edit PDF files using free software.
While reading howtoforge , I came across the following title: Modifying PDF Files With PDFedit On Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn (Editing PDFs with PDFedit on Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn).
')
PDFedit is currently available on getdeb , but with the release of Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon in October, the program will be available for installation from the repository.
A few points of simple instructions - and PDFedit is installed on Kubuntu without any problems. Instead of the Gnome package installer, as it was in the instructions, the KDE installer was used, but the installation mechanism worked the same way.
Now, when PDFedit settled in the Graphics section of the system menu, in the PDF Editor section, it’s time to go to the second page of the manual and ask how you can edit PDF.
Following the instructions, I opened the article “Great Fortunes From Railroads” from the historical section of my library: it was full of typos. After a few minutes, no trace was left of the typos.
There is nothing easier.
There are a number of functions that have not been tried yet, but are very interesting:
… and so on.
Try to imagine that you wanted to change something in PDF - no doubt, PDFedit is capable of it.
Open Office should have thought about including this functionality in its PDF section — that’s really cool.
