Re: Editing PDFs?

Okular will (does) support annotating of pdf's, and save it, but extracting, moving and rotating pages won't be supported because they think a viewer shouldn't change files (except for the annotating, apparently, tough previous versions did save annotations in a separate file).

Maybe this does some of the things you wish for:

I remember reading a review of this program together with some other a while ago, but I can't remember where.

Umm, I suppose Kwriter (KOffice) has the ability to edit PDF files... right?

There is no app called Kwriter.

There's KWrite which is a simple text editor that was just moved out of the standard KDE packgages.

And then there's KWord, the part of KOffice you're referring to. But its PDF import filter, as cool as it is, has its limits.

"they think a viewer shouldn't change files"

Well, all picture viewers in KDE allow rotating a diplayed picture, and then saving it back so IMHO there's no reason a pdf/ps/.. viewer should be different...

"all picture viewers in KDE allow rotating a diplayed picture, and then saving it back"

And that's exactly the thing i HATE with those viewers! I'm opening an image, rotating the VIEW, to look at it from a different angle, and when closing (or moving to the next image) I'm being asked if I want to save changes. What changes!?!? If rotating the view constitutes a "change", then why zooming it does not? Rhetorical question, of course. And first of all, why do I have to be afraid of damaging my file by opening it in a VIEWER, and accidentally pressing wrong button on exit? Hope someone fixes this misfeature...

Tip; alter your gwenview config to never ask you this anymore ;)
