[TriLUG] Working with PDFs on Linux

[Owen Berry]

I've used something called flpsed to fill in PDF forms. It doesn't have
a 1.0 release yet, but I found it to work reasonably well. Downside is
that you can only add text, but maybe that's all you need.

Otherwise, a less elegant but more flexible solution is Xfig. I haven't
used it, so I don't know how well it works. Downside, apparently, is
that you can only edit 1 page at a time.
