Can someone give me advice on editing pdf files? I have some forms I'm trying to fill out that contain labels followed by a bunch of underline characters and all I need to do is delete some of the underlines and add text. I tried using pdfedit but the modified file doesn't display properly. I assumed it would take care of text placement, etc., but it did not produce readable results. For example, removing underline characters and replacing them with "340007174" only displays "3400014"; "75-300mm" displays as "-300mm". Am I missing something or does it just not work? Does anyone have any experience with the open office oracle pdf import extension? I don't see it in the ports collection, and I am not sure whether to even try using the linux version. Thanks, Gary
