Found this on the web at http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/139588 OpenOffice.org extension will add PDF editing By Bruce Byfield on July 03, 2008 (7:00:00 PM)
I tried to edit a PDF file, and I have to report that, on my unicore athlon 64, 2GB ram, it is so painfully slow to edit a PDF file that I had to abandon the effort.
There is a faster pdf editor called flpsed, and is available in the fedora repo. It is much faster, but when I saved the file as a pdf (not a postscript), it could not be viewed by the Adobe Reader, which said that it was corrupt. However, it was readable by Evince, which is also in Fedora repo.
I was unable to use pdfedit in Fedora Repo because it is not a WYSIWYG editor - or at least, I had no idea how to use it to change a PDF file.
Any other pdf editors available that are quick and work?
Well there is good news and bad news. The program xournal can edit pdf files. But the bad news is that xournal is needed to read the file.
Huh??? Sorry, I feel rather slow this morning :) Could you please explain the "bad news" part?
I mean, every editor must first "read" the file it will edit into a memory buffer, display it on the screen and then accepts edit commands. Or am I missing something?
