Hi,
I am looking for the software to edit pdf in linux. Somebody has any idea, do help me.
 
The following are the procedures i adapted.
 
1. The pdftotext conversion of a pdf and then edit it in scribus and save again as pdf. But, during this procedure, the images are lost... I dont want a lossy edit.
 
2. I opened the pdf in the gimp image editor and then edit the pdf there and save it as png. Then again open that png in openoffice draw and export the same as pdf. This way i am able to do edit on pdf. But, when more than one page is there in the pdf, the first page is displayed fine.The other pages have junk data.i dont know why.As per my thought this is due to some font problem in gimp.Hopefully yes.Do i need to install some plugins for gimp for the fonts?
 
3. I tried with pdftk. It does not work with the images.
 
Thanks in Advance.
