I found this via google: "The Tools
The tools I found are Xfig and flpsed. Xfig is a general image editor, while flpsed is specifically for marking up PDF files. It's important to note that neither of these programs can actually edit PDF files. Rather, they can be used to add new text and graphics on top of the file. This is generally all you need for filling out typical business forms such as contracts. " <http://www.linux.com/articles/113907> I just want to add text on top of a PDF, resulting in a new file. I'm not concerned with encryption, authorization, nor really "editing" the PDF itself -- just ending up with a new PDF with my text on top. I read something about a java app to do this in a magazine a few months, but didn't keep the article :( IIRC it was on the cover to something like "linux format", one of those linux magazines with the CD/DVD give-away, oversized. I also came across: <http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/PDFedit?content=51831> so, if I install kde then I can have PDFedit? There's also: <http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise> but it seems a bit complex, masked packages and so forth (?). Then, there's this ebuild just loitering around in cyberspace: <http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~sanda/pdfedit/> but it doesn't appear on the gentoo website that I saw. Finally, gimp can be used according to: <http://www.wikihow.com/Edit-PDF-Files-in-Linux> but it's a bit vague. So, what do other people do? thanks, Thufir (emerging krita and kde presently) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
