An apparent bug in pdfedit - page merge doesn't work

Dear project team

First, my thanks to you for creating a very useful tool. I needed to do 
some smallish edits on a one-page PDF document, so I installed pdfedit 
on my Ubuntu 7.04 box, and was able to add the text I needed (though it 
ran rather slowly - the system has a 1GHz Pentium III with 512MB RAM).

However when I came to do the second task, combining two single-page PDF 
documents into one, I had distinct lack of success. I followed the 
instructions to open the first file, then insert the page from the 
second file, and after a while the document had two pages, but the 
second page was blank except for a black rectangle, centred about 15mm 
above the bottom of the page.

Is this a known problem? If so, I'll leave you to decide on the priority 
for fixing it...

Best regards

Ian Park

editing pdf file

well, just install pdfedit, and have a heck of a time,
add a simple phone# to a .pdf file., when saving it,
it messes up the other text on the page.. with odd characters.

Anyone?
Thank You

Richard

This is known issue...

Where is the rpm spec file?

I tried to install the pdfedit rpm on my Fedora 5 system and got a
dependency error for rtld(GNU_HASH).  This ws caused by the rpm having
been built for a system that uses a later version of the kernel than mine
does.  I would like to generate an rpm for my system.

I looked in the tar.gz file and couldn't find the rpm spec file.  I also
looked in CVS, and couldn't find it there either.

Where can I find it?

Re: Any Plans to support Mars file format

Hi,

Is there any plan to support MARS file format from Adobe?
Its XML based, so editing any document should be as easy as editing XML docs,
or maybe a bit more, but I feel its more manageable than the actual pdf format.
There is no other software to handle this file format, so any new
product can become the winner.
FYI:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Mars

regards,
Prateek

I have tried you files with the same result. I don't know where is a
problem at the moment, but I have noticed:
Error: Illegal entry in bfchar block in ToUnicode CMap

error message on the console. This kind of errors (Error: ...) is 
produced by original xpdf code which is used by our application. 
I will report this as a bug.

Thank you for reporting.

Best regards.
