Well, I think Denny had it pretty well when he said:
"http://www.freebsdsoftware.org/print/flpsed.html"
#grep -i PDF /usr/ports/print/flpsed/pkg-descr
Using pdftops, which is part of xpdf one can convert PDF documents to
* Import and export PDF. Therefore it can be used as a PDF editor.
It's up to Michael, though, to tell us how well it works, I suppose. No
package in packages-6-current/Latest, so I'm building from src, and
headed for bed before it gets done I imagine.
