image replacement

Hello,
I have pdf with two layers. First is a text and over it is an image.
I need a tool to extract an image from second layer, compress it and insert it
back and I need to do that in a batch mode.
Is this somehow possible with PDFedit? 
And if it is possible could you give me some advice or example how to do
that?

Thanks,
Tomas Pulkrabek

problems with man page, fonts, and Qt

I've successfully built PDFedit 0.4.1 from source on my LFS system (with freetype 2.3.5, fontconfig
2.5.0, XFree86 4.7, boost 1_35_0, t1lib 5.1.2, cppunit 1.12.1, qt 3.3.8), but a few problems are found :

1. The man page installed $MANDIR/man1/pdfedit.1 is empty (zero size).

2. When PDFedit is invoked from xterm, some errors are shown :
  > Error: No display font for 'Courier'
  > Error: No display font for 'Courier-Bold'
  > Error: No display font for 'Courier-BoldOblique'
  > Error: No display font for 'Courier-Oblique'
  > Error: No display font for 'Helvetica'
  > Error: No display font for 'Helvetica-Bold'
  > Error: No display font for 'Helvetica-BoldOblique'
  > Error: No display font for 'Helvetica-Oblique'
  > Error: No display font for 'Symbol'
  > Error: No display font for 'Times-Bold'
  > Error: No display font for 'Times-BoldItalic'
  > Error: No display font for 'Times-Italic'
  > Error: No display font for 'Times-Roman'
  > Error: No display font for 'ZapfDingbats'
  It seems that my system does not have the required fonts. The only fonts on my system are those come with
XFree86 (under /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/*) and "Trebuchet MS" (for use with WindowMaker, under
/usr/share/fonts/*). Where can I get the fonts for use with PDFedit ?

3. In a PDFedit session, I toggle the "Highlighting text" button and then click on some text in the document,
the selected text become black boxes, and the xterm console shows :
  > QString::arg(): Argument missing: highlightingSelectedText(), 0
  > QString::arg(): Argument missing: highlightingSelectedText(), 0
  > QString::arg(): Argument missing: highlightingSelectedText(), 0
  > QString::arg(): Argument missing: highlightingSelectedText(), 0
  > QString::arg(): Argument missing: highlightingSelectedText(), 449
  > QString::arg(): Argument missing: highlightingSelectedText(), 459
   I don't understand these errors.

A problem report similar to question 2 is found in the mailing-list archive, but it does not help for my case.

Are you trying to run from fresh compiled source tree or you have done
make install and run it from system dir?

Can you send me config.{status,log}, Makefile.flags.

Seems like problem in the highlighting script. I have filed it as bug
248 (see http://pdfedit.petricek.net/bt/view.php?id=248).

Thanks for reporting

Indeed I have ghostscript installed, but in a non-standard location. Following your instructions, I
linked the gs-fonts under /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts, then it works !
Since I'm using a LFS system, I'd like to ask if there's any way to specify a different fonts search path for
xpdf ?

I have done "make install" and run $PREFIX/bin/pdfedit.
Attached please find the config.* and Makefile.flags files generated by running "sh ./configure --enable-kernel-tests".

I have checked log files and everything seems to be ok (at least from
the configure POV). 

The problem seems to be in man page file generation done by
doc/tools/docbook2man.pl. Do you have perl installed on your box?
If you have perl installed could you try:
cd PDFEDIT_SRC_ROOT/doc && make doc_man
and send me the output.

Thanks and best regards

Thank you for your hint. Since my perl is not installed as "usr/bin/perl", this causes the failure. I've
made the appropriate link and it produces the correct man page.

Ok. I have posted a patch (to our devel mailing list) which moves man
page generation to the distribution tarball creation time.
It is definitely a good idea to have building time dependency on perl
IMO.

Thanks again for testing and reporting
Best regards

Maybe a bug between PDFedit and Foxit Reader.

I slightly modified a PDF file with PDFedit 0.4.1 in Linux.
I can read it correctly with Adobe Reader in Windows, but if I open it
with Foxit Reader 2.3, I see the old version before modified.
I thought it is a cached version in Foxit Reader, but when I open it
with Foxit Reader on another computer, it also shows the unmodified
version.
I think it is a bug of PDFedit or Foxit Reader.
Thanks.
