The absolute easiest is to use Master PDF Editor, it's free (on linux)
for noncommercial use. Just download it from:
http://code-industry.net/free-pdf-editor.php
It's a tar file, but you don't have to install it, just decompress it
and run it out of the directory. It handles everything including PDF forms.

You have to repeat the same process for every page in your PDF and
then set the page number of the PDF to import in the image preferences.
Far from ideal, but good for some things in a pinch.
You can also load PDFs visually perfect into the GIMP, but then you
will truly be out of the vector world all together... but again,
good for some things in a pinch.

Ah, thanks, that worked. That appears to convert the
PDF over
to a bitmap graphic. I think I would put it between
inkscape
and openoffice as far as usefulness. On the one hand
it does
render the PDF perfectly, on the other hard it's now a
graphic
so it can't be edited, and on a third hand of a mutant,
it only
works a page at a time.
It is useful if all you want to do is add to a document
or fill
out a few blanks, on a PDF not designed to be filled
out, for
printing.
Thanks for the tip,

Brian,
Scribus does not import pdfs. You have to open a blank
document, and
then insert a graphics object. You import the pdf
into the
graphics
object. Stretch the graphics object to fit the area
of the
page you
want. Then, insert text objects into the graphics
object and
type away.
Save the document; export to pdf, ignore errors,
and enjoy!

I knew scribus would export PDFs, and is quite
good at
it, but I
hadn't realized that it would also import them.
That being said, I just tried importing a
number of
PDFs and it did
a terrible job. Basically the documents were
unrecognizable.
Is this typical behavior for scribus, or am I
doing
something wrong?

I'd swear I asked this but it isn't in the
archives. Hans said
something
about acrostar but that was 7 years ago
and I was
wondering if
anything
new (better)has come about that allows us
to input
text onto a
pdf. (the
hans comment was in a thread with the words
'fillable' and 'pdf'
in the
subject)
