[opensuse] GUI PDF Editing
Is there any PDF tools in Linux that I can use to combine PDF files into one document? I have searched and all I can find are command line tools such as ghostscript. I'd like something like Acrobat that allows one to insert a document into an existing document then rearrange the pages. KPDF doesn't seem to have this functionality. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

pdfedit? I have only looked to see that it runs. The rest is up to you :)

Didn't know I had it until I ran YaST. Apparently there isn't a button for it. In any case, it does work but the files are appended before the exitsing files. Knwoing that - and that you can't rearrange pages - it will do. I actually ran into a few other issues which will have to be corrected by the authors first. The documents were written in Word using tables and will mess up the page count on conversion to PDF. This occurs in Word or OOo. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Rumors say it, that OpenOffice 3 will have this capability. -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Kia, pdfedit *will* work, but be aware the more content you add to a document, the much more *slowly* it runs. It doesn't take a lot of effort to really drag it down. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

I use pdftk for that, but it is command line. I'm not aware of a GUI with that functionality, but new tools arrive.
