Does anybody know of an editor that can do on Linux what Acrobat / Acrobat Pro can do on Mac/Windows?

I've never used Acrobat.

I have tried to use the PDF Import extension to the Open Office which appears barely functional

It is very functional - it is *extremely* tedious. :)

least it is so slow as to be almost impractical. I have also tried pdfedit under Linux which seems to work fine but seems to have rather limited functionality. For instance, the capability to make bookmarks or to search through the whole document (as opposed to the current page) seems to be missing there.

PDFmod is what I use. Wonderful simple app. http://live.gnome.org/PdfMod -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

i use lyx http://www.lyx.org/, available from oS oss repos, to create pdf files. it isn't the same as acrobat in windows, but with a little getting used to you can quickly create pdf files that look really good. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi again, Just to update you on the situation: the best solution I have found thus far is a commercial but cheap one named PDFStudio ( http://www.qoppa.com/psindex.html ). Prices are under US $100. Seems to be doing all we need (much like the Adobe Acrobat Pro ). Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Boris pdfedit does what you want, but it was slow and cumbersome and not 100% adobe reader compatible. Other than that one, I haven't found a good one yet. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
