 Re: How to edit text PDF documents in Linux (Ubuntu 9.10)
Other PDF tools for Linux- xournal - is not a true PDF editor, buy it allows to add text or highlight it within a PDF document. It basically creates a transparent layer on top of a PDF document that you can scribble on to. You can then export that again as a PDF with all the changes.
- Scribus - is an Open Source program that brings professional page layout to Linux/UNIX, Mac OS X, OS/2 Warp 4/eComStation and Windows desktops with a combination of "press-ready" output and new approaches to page layout. Scribus supports professional publishing features, such as CMYK color, separations, Spot Colors, ICC color management and versatile PDF creation.
- flpsed is a WYSIWYG PostScript annotator. You can't remove or modify existing elements of a document.
flpsed allows you to add arbitrary text lines to existing PostScript documents and reedit them later. flpsed is useful for filling in forms, adding notes etc. Import and export PDF. Therefore it can be used as a PDF editor as well. - pdftops - convert PDF documents to PostScript and also add text to them.
- Pdftk a simple tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents: merge, split, rotate, decrypt (password required), encrypt, fill PDF forms with FDF Data or XFDF Data and/or Flatten Forms, update PDF metadata, attach files, repair corrupted PDF (where possible),...
