*pdfedit 0.4.5* (only 1.6 MB compiled in puppy 3.01) feel free to test in other puppies
- http://www.dokupuppylinux.info/programs:pdf_editing#pdfedit_045
- libqt-3.3.8 needed

I finally solved errors reported here

commenting line 27 in /usr/include/boost/noncopyable.hpp

and (but I think this was ininfluent) applying this patch to pdfedit source

Just downloaded all your pdfedit files and installed them in Wary522. Seems to work just fine thus far. I used it to convert sheet music to text successfully.

Edit: works in Racy522 also.

Thanks,

I've been testing pdfedit in various Puppies - due to this thread-

In Polarpup 005 it works fine.

However in Puppy 5.29 (Music2go remaster) I get-

For libpng it seems you can usually get away by creating the one a program is looking for as a link to whatever one you actually have. Have a look in /usr/lib

For OpenGL it is likely you don't have any version, and should thus install it. I doubt that would be a direct dependency of pdfedit - I guess on Slacko one of the other dependencies must want it...

I hope pdfedit is really what you need. What most people need is pdfshuffler (or one of its two alternatives).

G'day,

I found pdfedit did not run in the latest Slacko and from the console was informed it wanted the libGL file.

I copied libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib then re-named this to libGL.so.1 and now pdfedit opens.

The tar.gz attachment should extract to the libGL file I used. Just remember to re-name it or copy/symlink as the precise file name pdfedit wants.

Thanks davids45

copied the ligGL to /usr/lib. its a shame rox-filer doesn't give you the option of creating a symlink in the same directory. Had to use the commands

thanks again disciple, don't know why I missed the 'link' option. . .

I've added pdfshuffler to the wikka pdf page

Right. Its not really that "some people prefer this". It has a different purpose, assembling pdfs. i.e. splitting, merging, cropping and rearranging pages. Pdfedit is not good for this, but it does provide low-level access to the pdf content e.g. you might be able to fix a typo with it.
Also, note that the .sfs link is dead - I didn't reupload it, as it is the old squashfs 3 format which is not supported by modern puppies.

libpng will be somewhere like /usr/lib, not /usr/bin.

Thanks, got it sorted!
Nw can anyone help with how to add navigation links to a pdf in puppy? Can pdfedit do it?

Like adding bookmarks in foxit?
I tried usint foxit itself but my doc was too big for it i think and it crashed. the pdf is over 450megs!
