PDFedit — PDF Editor for Linux

The PDF document format has become an industry standard and many Linux office programs can produce a document in PDF format without any additional software or special printer drivers needed. Editing a PDF document directly, however, has been hard in Linux due to a lack of a well-designed PDF editor (commercial or open source).

The open source PDFedit project is attempting to fill this need. Judging by the current version (0.3.2), they have already succeeded in producing a program that will do the average job of making a minor changes or corrections to a PDF file. Changes can even be scripted in EMCAscript (aka Javascript). PDFedit is easy to use. If you use Linux and need to edit PDF files directly, PDFedit looks like the answer to your problem.

  1. As a Linux user, I searched for a long time for a good PDF editor. I finally came accross PDF Studio. It’s a java application that works under Linux. It is not free but has many more features than PDFEdit.
