Re: [PLUG] Edit PDF
Not really. :) You have to put newlines in. You basically have to do the layout and formatting manually. I use it frequently to edit invoices and receipts that come in pdf form so that they print on a single page. I change the page layout to landscape, use snap lines, change font size, etc. -- -chaz Charles Sliger "No matter where you go... There you are...

Re: [PLUG] Edit PDF
For quick, simple edits, I use LibreOffice Draw. You can open a pdf, move things around, edit text, etc. When you're done, just choose 'Export as PDF" from the "File" menu. -- -chaz Charles Sliger "No matter where you go... There you are...

[PLUG] Linux Mint/Ubuntu RAID-1 Boot
Anyone out there have experience in building a mirrored (RAID-1) boot drive using Mint 18 and/or Ubuntu? What I want to build is a system with a RAID-1 system disk and a RAID-1 data disk. If possible I'd like both to use LVM for space management. The documentation out there seems pretty fragmented and somewhat contradictory. I'd like to work through this and document it. -- -chaz Charles Sliger "No matter where you go... There you are...

[PLUG] OT: Solar Groups?
Not about systems, but I'm betting there's plenty of overlap. Are there any Solar Power groups in the Portland area? -- -chaz Charles Sliger "No matter where you go... There you are... Buckaroo Banzai" ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

Does anyone out there have experience putting something like this together?

It's like a Network-Attached-Storage unit that also runs a cloud protocol stack. I've seen them at places like Frys. -- -chaz Charles Sliger "No matter where you go... There you are...

[PLUG] Personal Cloud
Does anyone have experience with using a personal cloud box? I'm thinking it might be a way to allow accessing email and other things from multiple platforms (phone, tablet, desktop, etc), while keeping the data on private systems. -- -chaz Charles Sliger "No matter where you go...

Re: [PLUG] Download All PDF Files From Website
This works better since a lot of files get specified with additional info appended to the name. Otherwise wget will download the file and then proceed to delete it. wget --convert-links -r -A *.pdf* -erobots=off http://www On Sat, 2015-06-20 at 09:19 -0700, Rich Shepard wrote: Perhaps I'm the only one who did not know how to use wget to download multiple .pdf files from a website rather than the site itself. If others also have tried and failed this information may be useful. After reading the curl and wget man pages I tried various options to download ~50 .pdf files from a web site. All attempts failed. Web searches revealed many threads and blogs that showed how both can be used to download an entire site, but not just .pdf or .jpg or other file types and not the html itself. Then I found a thread on linuxquestions.org where a responder pointed out that the robots.txt file prevented file downloads. The original poster used that information to create the solution. Use this command followed by the full URL: wget --convert-links -r -A *.pdf -erobots=off http://www It works!
