Description: Complete editing of pdf documents is easy with PDFedit. You can change either raw pdf objects (for advanced users) or use predefined gui functions. For any support please follow steps at http://sourceforge.net/support/getsupport.php?group_id=177354Last changelog:
0.3.1: * german translation (thanks to Andreas Mantke) * minor gui enhancements (added some missing tooltips...) * bugfixes
0.2.4: * 64bit compilability fix * Fixed bug with units precision, 1234pt showing up as 1.23e+3pt * Console scripts bug fixed (not running scripts from current directory) * Added QSPdf.save() function * Spanish translation added
0.2.3: + page rotation, text extraction, + simple drawing, lines, rectangles, layer control + revision control + text operations, highlight, strike through, delete, simple add, moving, color changing + simple pdf to xml support + everything based on QSA scripting language + access to raw pdf objects ...
Special devel features: + pdf to whatever format support
pdf crashes when trying to import a document with different paper size.
Say you work on an A4 papaer and then try to import a 'letter' sized document - instant crash.
It would be good if pdfedit could offer on-the-fly conversion for similar-sized papers ( A4-letter seems like an easy fit) - or even better offer some import options: crop to size, scale bounding box, or just fit 1:1
The solution right now seems to be to print out the document from kpdf into desired paper size and then import it here.
Thanks for a great app!
Would love to try your editor.. but.. I can't even run ,/configure, I get this error:
configure: error: QTDIR environment variable must be set
I have the QT3 and QT4 dev stuff and the boost libs installed... although I get the feeling that isn't the issue, since the configure thing usually tells me what I'm missing...
Hello there,
Every new version brings me another"patch session" and all related to QString and std::string...
For v0.2.3 I patched about 25 files. I tried to compille 0.3.1 and, of course, my old patch works no more. I'm tyred to patch again... I'm waiting for a 'working' version.
the latest source version 0.3.1 is compiling fine with the ebuild at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158188
and gentoo distribution
Nice software.
where would I find rtld(GNU_HASH). I can't find it anywhere. I found a few open suse and fedora rpm but no sources to build from.
Can you provide a complete deps list?
Thanks
cool application!! I'd love to have network transparancy, though, why don't you guys use the KIOslaves and the KDE filedialog?
if platfrom-independence is a problem, maybe you can start using those when you port to Qt4, as KDE 4/Qt4 are platform independent :D
Thank you very much for sharing your work.
I read all comments and finally got a package being able to install on my Debian Etch (5,5 MB).
When trying to install the package there appears an error, telling me that pdfedit_0.3.0-1_i386.deb is trying to replace /usr/share/qt3/mkspecs/default which also is in qt3-dev-tools.
Can you please give me a hint how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance.
compiling exception:
configure: error: You need boost library to compile PDFedit
but boost is installed
suse 10.1
boost 1.33.1-17 (with yast)
what is the problem?
Guys, I'd love to see some KDE integration. The KDE file-open dialog, the KDE toolbars and shortcut editor - you can add them easily and they would improve your app a lot... And of course network transparency would be great, and the KIOslaves give you that. Now I have to copy files over by hand...
worked on version 0.2.5 but the application is too buggy. I was unable to delete one word from a pdf file, although it allowed me to add a word. Then I reopened the modified pdf file and found out that the page I modified was cut in half. :(
On Debian/unstable, compiling requires libqt3-dev-tools/stable, libqt3-headers/stable and libqt3-dev/stable, otherwise it fails. In addition, one needs Motif, docbook-xsl, and doxygen. Also libboost-*-dev libraries, a total of 12. At some point I had to do:
$export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
and continued with make again. The size of the resulting executable pdfedit is about 61MB. Wow.
I have this errors when I try to compile the ./configure file:
checking for g++... no
checking for c++... no
checking for gpp... no
checking for aCC... no
checking for CC... no
checking for cxx... no
checking for cc++... no
checking for cl.exe... no
checking for FCC... no
checking for KCC... no
checking for RCC... no
checking for xlC_r... no
checking for xlC... no
What should I do?
Have tried 0.2.4 with these env
QTDIR=/usr/qt/3/ QMAKESPEC="/usr/qt/3/mkspecs/linux-g++"
and have got the same error - 'src/kpdf-kde-3.3.2' dir still doesn't see qt3 :-(

If you run gentoo it has a good ebuild in the sunrise overlay for the latest... emerge layman layman -a sunrise emerge pdfedit

"QMAKESPEC environment variable must be set" although I installed qt-devel (Suse 10.1)
./configure QTDIR=/usr/lib/ QMAKESPEC=/usr/share/qt3/mkspecs/

On Debian Sid /usr/include/boost isn't just one set of APIs so I just selected all available to cover all bases.

PDFedit don't work to normal user, because a wrong permission on /usr/share/pdfedit.
should be fixed in cvs now, thanks
