Hi Poppler seems to only allow me to view, nt to edit, pdf on Ubuntu 10.04 but there are a lot of libraries and packages that start with that name and possibly one of them adds editing functionality.
I guess my question would be ... Does anyone know of an Open alternative that is easy to use in Windows too?

You might want to open up a bug report for this. > > some french characters are not rendered well > I would guess the same is true of French accented characters too, although personally I have no problem with them. You might need to experiment with your various fonts in order to see which ones work best. The PDF specification refused font embedding for certain fonts that were not deemed acceptable by Adobe. You might also want to check whether your fonts fall into that category. On a Linux system, I seem to recall that libpoppler or the poppler package is responsible for being able to edit PDF forms and save them. There have continuously been problems with this library, and I have gone through various phases of frustration in the past where I thought forms had been filled in only to discover that nothing had actually been saved.
