How to Edit PDF Files in Ubuntu
A PDF (Portable Document Format) file contains text, fonts and graphics in a fixed format. This format is not meant to be edited without special software. There are multiple PDF viewers available for the Linux operating system, but they only allow you to view the document, not edit it. The PDFedit program can be used to edit PDF documents on Ubuntu and other Linux distributions regardless of the software used to create the document.
