As I do not use proprietary applications, I cannot know what does that propriety non-free software Acrobat Industrial Complex does. I may recommend some software here. Name: flpsed 0.7.3-1 Description : A WYSIWYG PostScript annotator URL : http://flpsed.org/flpsed.html This software has very simple feature to edit text in PDF documents or save PS pdocuments to PDF. In general when I want to change PDF, I sometimes convert it to picture and change the picture by using ImageMagick tools. And often I may import PDF into Gimp software and then edit it as pictures. That is often for reasons to insert signature in contracts. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
