Description Kristoffer Grundström 2018-05-28 03:20:01 CEST

Description of problem: Complete editing of .pdf documents is made possible with pdfedit. You can change either raw pdf objects (for advanced users) or use predefined gui functions. Functions can be easily added as everything is based on a script.

The program can be built and included in Mageia 6 or 7, but it needs openmotif-devel which we don't seem to have atm.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.4.5

It's discontinued according to AlternativeTo.net, but I haven't used any of the other alternatives mentioned here to edit an already existing PDF document:

It's dead since 6 years ago, Kristoffer.

At that time it was decided (see bug 1420) not to import the package unless it had been ported to qt4.

Now we'd need a qt5 port
