[CentOS] PDF Reader/Editor for CentOS 5.7 (32 bit)?
I had, in the past, a .pdf reader that also permitted me to fill in some information, when I received a .pdf file. I have KPDF installed, but that seems to only have Reader capability. Trying to install xpdf, with yum, I get this dependency error from rpmforge: 1:xpdf-3.02-8.el5.rf.i386 from rpmforge has depsolving problems -- Missing Dependency: libXm.so.4 is needed by package 1:xpdf-3.02-8.el5.rf.i386 (rpmforge) Error: Missing Dependency: libXm.so.4 is needed by package 1:xpdf-3.02-8.el5.rf. Then, if I try to yum install libXm.so.4 I get this error: No package libXm.so.4 available. Received a contract via email and I would like to add some information and send it back via email. If someone can recommend a Package that I can install, that will be appreciated. Hopefully, something as easy to use as what I had before. It just worked. :-) Unfortunately, I cannot remember which package it was. :-) TIA!

Can't see it in the i386 repo. Looks like something is broken for 5.7/base i386? The i386 version of the package is present in the x86_64 repo though... So you can get it from there. You can even get a newer version than the one included in 5.7/base, by going to 5.6/updates in the vault. I guess this one will end up in 5.6/updates at some point. For your purpose though, I'm not sure xpdf can edit pdfs. When I have to do that I use AdobeReader from the adobe site. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I think what the OP wants is a program that can deal with the Adobe's 'Fill In Form' type of PDF. The PDF Toolkit (I have pdftk-1.12-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm on my system -- for CentOS 4 and don't know if a el5 version exists) has a CLI program that can do this (you need to dump the form information and create a FDF file). Otherwise, I believe Adobe's Reader is the only program available that does this with a GUI. I don't believe xpdf can do this and what OpenOffice / LibreOffice do is something else (an import of the PDF in the writer tool as a word processing document or something, which can then be edited and re-exported as a PDF). ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / hel...@deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software-- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The PDF Toolkit (I have snip I was assuming that a) the form is a fill-in-certain-fields type form, not that he wanted to edit the form itself, and b) that he had some reason for not wanting Adobe Reader on his system, which of course allows you to fill in the blanks. Our answer to saving that, which Adobe doesn't want you to do, is to print it to the pdfprinter driver. It's uneditable after that, of course. mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
