PDF Reader/Editor for CentOS 5.7 (32 bit)?
 

I had, in the past, a .pdf reader that also permitted me to fill in
some information, when I received a .pdf file.

I have KPDF installed, but that seems to only have Reader capability.

Trying to install xpdf, with yum, I get this dependency error from rpmforge:
1:xpdf-3.02-8.el5.rf.i386 from rpmforge has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: libXm.so.4 is needed by package
1:xpdf-3.02-8.el5.rf.i386 (rpmforge)
Error: Missing Dependency: libXm.so.4 is needed by package 1:xpdf-3.02-8.el5.rf.

Then, if I try to yum install libXm.so.4 I get this error:
No package libXm.so.4 available.

Received a contract via email and I would like to add some information
and send it back via email.

If someone can recommend a Package that I can install, that will be
appreciated. Hopefully, something as easy to use as what I had before.
It just worked. :-) Unfortunately, I cannot remember which package it
was. :-)

TIA! Lanny

libXm.so.4 is provided by package openmotif, which is present in C5 for
x86_64. Can't see it in the i386 repo. Looks like something is broken
for 5.7/base i386?
The i386 version of the package is present in the x86_64 repo though...
So you can get it from there.
You can even get a newer version than the one included in 5.7/base, by
going to 5.6/updates in the vault. I guess this one will end up in
5.6/updates at some point.

For your purpose though, I'm not sure xpdf can edit pdfs. When I have to
do that I use AdobeReader from the adobe site.

LibreOffice 3 comes with a PDF Import plugin which allows you to edit
PDF's with draw and save as pdf.

"libXm.so.4" is a dependency; not a package name.

# yum whatprovides *libXm.so*
...
openmotif22-2.2.3-18.i386 : Open Motif runtime libraries and executables
Repo******* : base
Matched from:
Filename*** : /usr/lib/libXm.so.3
Filename*** : /usr/lib/libXm.so.3.0.2
Other****** : libXm.so.3

So apparently no "libXm.so.4" in base, repoforge or elrepo...
You could ask in the repoforge mailing list.

I think what the OP wants is a program that can deal with the Adobe's
'Fill In Form' type of PDF. The PDF Toolkit (I have
pdftk-1.12-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm on my system -- for CentOS 4 and don't
know if a el5 version exists) has a CLI program that can do this (you
need to dump the form information and create a FDF file). Otherwise, I
believe Adobe's Reader is the only program available that does this
with a GUI. I don't believe xpdf can do this and what OpenOffice /
LibreOffice do is something else (an import of the PDF in the writer
tool as a word processing document or something, which can then be
edited and re-exported as a PDF).

xpdf cannot edit pdfs.

There's a 32 bit version of openmotif in CentOS 5.7 x86_64.

It would probably need a few extra rpm's as well.

I was assuming that a) the form is a fill-in-certain-fields type form, not
that he wanted to edit the form itself, and b) that he had some reason for
not wanting Adobe Reader on his system, which of course allows you to fill
in the blanks. Our answer to saving that, which Adobe doesn't want you to
do, is to print it to the pdfprinter driver. It's uneditable after that,
of course.

Right, as Nicolas pointed out in his post, openmotif 32-bit is missing
in the CentOS 5.7 i386 repo. I suppose/hope this will be corrected
sometime soon ...
