Yes, you have to build the binary from sources. You have basically 2
options:
- download the tarball from sf.net and build it
- standard debian way:
apt-get source pdfedit/stable; apply the patch; fakeroot debian/rules
binary
The second option is better as you get the deb package which you can
install by dpkg. Please note that you will have to install some packages
for both approaches (namely qt3-dev-tools, freetype2, boost, debian
helpers for packages bulding).
