I'm attempting to edit a scanned into PDF format and open it in LibreOffice but keep getting an error "General Input/Output Error". I have opened other PDF documents and been able to edit them (some required password).
LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 Xsane 0.998 openSuSE 12.2-M3 KDE 4.8.1 Scanner: Brother MFC-J6710DW via wired network
I've looked in /var/logs but been unable to find anything related. I have been able to work around this problem by opening the PDF in Inkscape and using a text overlay but that isn't a very nice solution.
Does anyone have a comment or suggestion of how to get this PDF into a usable format? Is this a known problem with Xsane's exporting? So far I haven't been able to find it with Google.
Thanks, Tom
Should add that the PDF in question opens in xpdf from console but can't be edited in that program. Tom -- “What we do for ourselves dies with us.
