I use Acrobat API and the JSO in VB to edit "original" PDFs. One can add fields, add pull down lists w/java, edit existing fields, execute java in the PDF, extract/change text, add/delete bookmarks and everything else you can do(and more) in the Acrobat GUI. On my to-do list is creating a LC exter

By the way . . . I have to send various PDF forms to my sons in the USA and Germany with my signature on the original PDF. I open the PDF in GIMP, add a layer to the relevant page, and overlay a PNG of my signature (I signed my name using my Wacom tablet into GIMP and extracted the pen colou

So the XPDF viewer lets you grab the text from PDFs, the formattedRect of any selected Text, and the page (or ant portion of the rendered page) as an Image in addition to just viewing a PDF I assume the issue that you view EPS as high resolution for the purposes of printing the PDF form back out w

Re: "ouch: the beginning of the end"

Do you mean you want to take 2 or more PDF's and combine them? That is what merging PDF's means I think. If this is the issue, I think we had a thread about this a while back where virtually any PDF editing app is capable of this. In addition, with OS X you can select multiple PDF's and open the
