Why PDFedit?
People sometimes like to edit PDF documents. KWord has the ability to import, edit, and re-export PDFs, but the formatting often gets messed up during import. pdfjam is a command-line tool that allows you to do some sophisticated PDF manipulating (rotating, combining, splitting), but it also has limitations, and sometimes people are more comfortable with a point-and-click graphical user interface (GUI).
Installing PDFedit: Method 1
in the GUI
Download [http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/pool/edgy/3v1n0/pdfedit_0.2.5-0+3v1ubuntu1_i386.deb this file] to your desktop. Then double-click it.
in the terminal
wget -c http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/pool/edgy/3v1n0/pdfedit_0.2.5-0+3v1ubuntu1_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i pdfedit_0.2.5-0+3v1ubuntu1_i386.deb
For Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn you may use the PDFEdit package from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pdfedit/pdfedit-0.3.1-1.i386.rpm Download the rpm file from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfedit/ and install it with:
