Hi all, Does anybody know of an editor that can do on Linux what Acrobat / Acrobat Pro can do on Mac/Windows? I have tried to use the PDF Import extension to the Open Office which appears barely functional - at least it is so slow as to be almost impractical. I have also tried pdfedit under Linux which seems to work fine but seems to have rather limited functionality. For instance, the capability to make bookmarks or to search through the whole document (as opposed to the current page) seems to be missing there. Any tips much appreciated. Cheers, Boris.

Scribus and another one on Fedora at least (Not on that wkst atm) never measured up.>Any tips much appreciated.For my needs, I ended up using an online tool, funny that is. http://www.pdfescape.com/ If you come across anything good, mention it back here, jlc

Prices are under US $100. Seems to be doing all we need (much like the Adobe Acrobat Pro ). Boris.
