Edit PDF Files in Linux

E-mail Print PDF
The title is misleading. This howto just shows how to do simple text additions to PDF and Postscript files, such as filling out forms.

"flpsed" allows you to just type on top of the PDF form. Then you can print it out to a printer or export it as another PDF.

Installation on Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install flpsed

Now from a terminal type (or create a launcher):

flpsed
  • Click on File/Import PDF
  • Open your PDF form
  • Click on the form and start typing
  • When you are done, click on File/Print or File/Export PDF

There is also a new tool called pdfedit that actually edits PDF files.  It requires KDE libraries (QT3).  In Ubuntu, use:

sudo apt-get install pdfedit
