OO's ability to create pdf files is a valuable asset.
However, the need frequently arises to convert pdf files to a
editable format.
Hi,
PDF is not a document format intended to editing. If you need to modify
such kind of document why not ask the author a copy of the original in
editable format (.odt, .doc, etc.) ?
So why does Adobe make their Acrobat program?
A cassette tape was originally intended for speech only, not music, but a
few decades later some manufacturers actually made some quite capable
cassettes and decks, like TDK, Nakamichi and many others, and people used
them for music as well, in fact I think the most common use was music.
Things doesn't necessarily need to be what they were originally intended
to be.
And good luck to ask the authorities to send you editable copies of their
stuff. I tried that a few years ago. They said that they have been
thinking about uploading their documents in DOC (Microsoft) format. Well,
that's better than nothing, but still today, a few years later, there is
still only the PDF on their site.
However, that was a PDF form thing (FDF?) and a few days ago I discovered
that I can fill in those and save them with Evince, which was impossible a
few months ago, I think. But that doesn't solve the OP's issue. Seems like
he is looking for some kind of Linux equivalent of Adobe Acrobat, so the
question is probably: Is there such a thing out there somewhere?
Unfortunately the answer seems to be no.
And yes, I know PDFimport extension, but it is useful only for very
light modifications like to complete a form.
