Hello All,
Can anyone recommend an application to edit a pdf file, and of course
works on 64 bit Gentoo?
Thanks,
Sean

Description: A tool for manipulating PDF documents
License: GPL-2
website says;
If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk is an electronic staple-remover,
hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses. Pdftk is a
command-line tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents. Keep one
in the top drawer of your desktop and use it to:
* Merge PDF Documents
* Split PDF Pages into a New Document
* Decrypt Input as Necessary (Password Required)
* Encrypt Output as Desired
* Fill PDF Forms with FDF Data and/or Flatten Forms
* Apply a Background Watermark
* Report on PDF Metrics such as Metadata, Bookmarks, and Page Labels
* Update PDF Metadata
* Attach Files to PDF Pages or the PDF Document
* Unpack PDF Attachments
* Burst a PDF Document into Single Pages
* Uncompress and Re-Compress Page Streams
* Repair Corrupted PDF (Where Possible)
Pdftk allows you to manipulate PDF easily and freely. It does not
require Acrobat, and it runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and
Solaris.
Pdftk is free software (GPL).
I'll let you know how I find it as I too have been trying for some time
to find a friendly way of editing PDF files...
BTW, GIMP can do this, but is not really for tool for the job.
