http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/7385/ PDFEditor is one option, but it's been pretty slow and buggy. Plus the interface is not easy to use.
Is there anything else that would allow users to edit PDFs?

When a good pdf editor is available, Ubuntu will package it - if you ask nicely. In the meantime, you'll have to wait until somebody has both the skills and the interest, or better yet, donate to the pdfedit developers.]]> Tue, 22 Apr 2008 07:59:06 +0000 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 09:00:03 +0000 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:30:25 +0000
In Ubuntu 8.04 there is a program called flpsed(get it from Synaptic), that you can use to fill out form(meaning; do basic stuff).
"One has to first convert the pdf to postscript, then edit. But the flpsed program allows direct export of the edited file to pdf. Limited font set and sizes, but other than that it's a great solution."]]> Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:16:02 +0000
4.2.8 Inkscape

Inkscape 0.46, which is available in the Universe repository, is a major update that introduces native PDF support, providing an easy, open source solution to editing text and graphics in PDF documents. Users will appreciate being able to draw up flyers, posters, and other documents, save them as PDF (or as the native .svg) in inkscape, and send them to a print shop for printing without ever leaving Ubuntu or loading a proprietary tool. ]]> Tue, 22 Apr 2008 21:15:38 +0000
Yet still it'd be nice to have a text (rather than graphics) centric PDF editor. Hopefully OOo 3 will bring this to the community.]]> Wed, 23 Apr 2008 04:23:49 +0000 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:54:06 +0000
Inkscape works, PDFEdit kind of works, and so do a myriad of other utilities and methods out there, but none of them yet really fulfill the role of user-friendly application ready for integration into the everyday desktop environment.]]> Mon, 12 May 2008 17:44:49 +0000 Have a look at how it's handled on Leopard.
