Ways to edit pdf
Juanito:
Intalling pil does not copy the headers into the file system - extension pil-2.7-dev created with the missing headers and posted.
@vinnie - if you load pil-2.7 and pil-2.7-dev things might work.
Edit: confirmed, building pysane now works :)
vinnie:
Thanks Juan, you are always extremely helpful! :)
@rich the question was a little longer, pysane was included in PIL, and thus there have been changes
It seems that the version of pysane separate compile, ocrfeeder now works, I tried it, is not exciting but okay.
Now begins the process of creating packages, I will take a while.
tweetyhack:
isn't OCRFeed just going to extract the text? If that's all you need, that's great. You'll probably lose all formating. I was looking for a pdf editor myself a while back. Like you, I didn't have much luck and ended up using LibreOffice which I think does a decent job. Adobe Acrobat Pro is a piece of shit, at least up to version 7(the lastest is 10 or something).
hiro:
so libreoffice is working better than adobe acrobat? i'm about to edit some files, too.

TC has qpdf, submitted by some good looking aussie guy which states amongst other things
--- Quote ---An application that does structual, content preserving transformations on PDF files. It could be called pdf2pdf

It does not create from raw state a pdf, but once you have a pdf you can edit it with qpdf
########################
if you have decent internet why not try cloud editor?
the site is free to use but asks to upgrade for extra features so I guess that makes it commercial so I shall be obtuse
the site begins with pdf and ends in escape and is a commercial site
and makes the following claims
