This is really old and unmaintained, it also has a x-window type UI that takes you back to 1997. I have found that despite the crude nature of it there are things you can find in documents that other tools gloss over. Genuine thanks for the link and the nudge - I have to go forensic on a few PDFs and I had forgot what the tool was as it has been a while. Luckily the PDFs I need to edit are old and there should be no problem doing apt-get install rather than compiling a tarball.

> it also has a x-window type UI that takes you back to 1997. Or '87, by '97 I was using Gimp already.

Yup...not easy finding a free tool that will "decompile" a pdf. Too bad it's unmaintained :-( http://pdfedit.cz/screenshots/screenshot1.jpg http://pdfedit.cz/screenshots/screenshot1.jpg http://pdfedit.cz/screenshots/screenshot2.jpg http://pdfedit.cz/screenshots/screenshot2.jpg http://pdfedit.cz/screenshots/screenshot3.jpg http://pdfedit.cz/screenshots/screenshot3.jpg
