Alex> Thanks & Regards,

The latest Ghostscript (v5.x?) can read PDF (with the help of
ghostview if you want a convenient interface).  It also has a nifty
little util that allows converting postscript to PDF.

As for editing the PDF file itself -- I'm working with PDF at the
office, and the only thing you can edit is SOME (but not all) text.
And the editor (Exchange) tends to be overenthusiastic at changing the
contents of the file.  PDF is essentially read-only once it's
generated.

However, the .PDF files generated by the ps2pdf converter are pretty
good.

I have the Acrobat Reader for Debian. It's in 

non-free/binary-i386/text/acroread_3.01-0.1.deb

At least there I have it. You showld go to a debian ftp repos and look
in the non-free section.

For editing, there is some latex to pdf, though I never used it. Look
for pdflatex in the tetex-bin package. I've just try it. The text was
OK, the ps files didn't showed up. Maybe they need some tweak. There's a
list for this, see 'man pdflatex'.

The reader is xpdf (slink/non-free/binary-i386/text/xpdf_0.7a-2.deb) or
acroread (slink/non-free/binary-i386/text/acroread_3.01-0.1.deb). The editor
isn't freely available. You'll have to buy it at a local store I think.
