Hi,
I am interested in inserting text into the text blocks on a PDF application form ie entering data into those little square blocks they give to write your details into.
Is there a way to convert a PDF document to a human readable format, add the required text and then re-PDF the form?
I do not have a printer and therefore would need to save the document to a USB stick, visit a friend's printer and print the necessary form, fill it in and then fax it. It would be SO much easier if I could edit the relevant fields, insert an image of my signature, re PDF the document, and then email it.
I was thinking along the lines of reverse 'engineering' ie we can currently do OOo to PDF, why not a PDF to OOo with limited functionality?
KWord will let you edit PDF files. Whilat KWord might be able to edit PDF's can it sldo recreate them, I would assume so? It seems a little bit of a waste to have KWord just to edit PDF's esp since I use OOo as my main 'Office' application.
Could convertig the file to snother format via the cli enable me to edit the little square blocks on the original PDF form? I have seen postscript and PDF sometimes mentioned together. Would converting the file to postscript, editing in OOo and then remaking the PDF not work? How would one convert a PDF to a postscript file if the above is possible? -- ======================================================================== Currently using SuSE 9.2 Professional with KDE and Mozilla 1.7.2 Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org ======================================================================== -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
