I find that Pdfedit is very slow (i.e. when adding text or moving some element). Any experience??
Shall I file a bug???

I guess I'm too stupid to figure it out.

I have a pdf document that I would like to add two lines of text to
(different positions, different fonts). Under the 'Page' menu I see an
icon for adding text but it is greyed out. I don't see that icon
anywhere else on the screen.

The so-called 'Help' is useless.

Could someone please help me get started?

Thanks.

I've never figured out how to use Pdfedit. I do know that in a lot of
PDFs the text has been converted to paths; i.e., it has been turned
into vector images. If the text has been converted to paths there is no
longer any text.

If all you want to do is add text to a PDF I recommend Xournal. It's
much simpler and does a great job. But bear in mind that Xournal can
only add things to a PDF; it cannot edit the underlying PDF.

Check first if the PDF is not encrypted nor secured in any way, maybe you
are facing a simple problem of locked options here.

Anyway, there is a brief how-to for the most used options in howtoforge:

If you have good luck, libreoffice (with libreoffice-pdfimport
package) could help you to edit your pdf. I say good luck, because I
think the pdf support is primitive in libreoffice

Hi,

in F15 I could install pdfedit by yum. Anybody knows when this will be
possible in F16?


Kind regards

It has been orphaned

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/pdfedit

So unless someone takes over, no

Hi Joachim,

It won't be possible in the near future, because it's orphaned:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/pdfedit

Unless tremble or anyone else wants to maintain it, it won't be
possible. (CC'ing tremble)

The dead.package says this:
"Upstream is essentially dead - gui stuck on qt3 and buggy"

But the upstream url says, it was ported to qt4 and upstream still
wored on it...

Greetings,
Tom

Hpefully it gets completed. I finally gave up maintaining it since nothing
seemed to be happening for over a year and the ABRT reports kept coming in. I
would advise against reviving it until a Qt4 version is fully ready and tested.

Sure that the PDF text isn't an image? Could be a scan ...
