How to Modify a PDF in Linux
A PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file that contains a static document. Documents saved as PDFs cannot be changed using word processing or text editing software. PDFedit is a free, open source program that allows you to modify any PDF document. You can change, add or delete text, images and other objects contained in the document. If the file is password protected, you must know the password in order to open it in PDFedit.
