Nope. Not GUI. Command line, even though the man pages have some good examples on how to do common stuff. Case in point, I had a PDF which I needed to edit, but I didnt have the original OOo doc from where it was created. So I used pdftk to decompress the pdf, and then edited the pdf in a simple text editor with a simple search/replace. I compressed the PDF back to get back the intial PDF with corrections. Dont even bother to compile pdftk from source. It has some insane dependencies (gcj - large parts of it is written in Java, and compiled to native code), and it takes a lot of time to compile. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya * Puroga Technologies * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: http://www.puroga.com * Home/Blog: http://www.sandipb.net/blog PGP/GPG Signature: 51A4 6C57 4BC6 8C82 6A65 AE78 B1A1 2280 A129 0FF3 ******************** FREEDEL *********************************** Freedel 2005, September 17-18, PHDCCI House, New Delhi Organized by the Indian Linux Users Group - Delhi chapter.
