Best,

I have a program that creates a pdf file for mailing labels. (21 pages
currently.) We will be required to print these at least monthly. This is
the first day I have run into this. (It is a new version of the program.)

The problem is that the text prints just a little bit high so that a part
of the first line is lost when the labels are peeled off and applied.

Using pdfedit, I was able to click one Set Page Transformation Matrix, then
click on Translate (shift) page, from page 1 for 21 pages, then on the Page
translation tab set ty to -10 and click OK.

This looks like it worked.

The thing is that I am not the person who needs to do this monthly and I
would like to script this for them so that they drop the pdf in a net share
and get the corrected pdf back in another share on in a web page.

Is there a way to run pdf edit from the cli and give it the pdf file in
question and a script that will accomplish this? I have looked through the
info I can find so far on the web and do not see a hint as to how I might
do this in any fashion and I am really looking for a someple fashion if one
exists.

all the best,

drew

Could you share your document? Please post it off list, if yes.

Hello, I have recently installed pdfedit. My system is Opensuse 12.2. I would like to include texts in pdf documents. After I add new text, and hit the save to file button, the new pdf is created, but it does not contain the modification when I open it with a pdf viewer. Could you fix the problem? Thanks in advance.
Hi All,

I created a PDF from a few smaller PDFs. I want to add page numbers.

I tried to locate a method to add page numbers through the man pages
and documents on use (http://pdfedit.cz/en/user_doc.html). But I was
not successful.

I took a few stabs in the dark by trying to script it though, but I
was not successful (I could not locate man pages on script commands).

Could anyone point out how to add page numbers?

Jeff

...well, I guess I know what was going wrong with my code: QSPdfOperator
doesn't have a copy constructor (and for some reason, it seems to be needed
for passing objects between C++ and QSA sides).

Now I am dealing with a "funny" thing:
I am extending QSPage somehow:

void QSPage::f() {
    ...
    boost::shared_ptr<PdfOperator> op(...);
    libs::Rectangle bbox = op->getBBox();
    printf(" [ %f , %f , %f , %f ] \n", bbox.xleft, bbox.yleft,
bbox.xright, bbox.yright);

}

The thing is, I am getting two different results depending on _when_ I
invoke that function:
If I run pdfedit and open some PDF file, and execute the following (into
the script console):
  p = document.getPage(5);
  p.f();
then I can obtain something like:
  [ 393.760000 , 734.615000 , 495.829000 , 744.668000 ]
but if I run pdfedit and open the same PDF file and before executing those
lines, first I change the current page (on the GUI) to the fifth page (the
page I am processing), then I obtain this:
  [ 393.760000 , 784.615000 , 495.829000 , 794.668000 ]
The difference is on the y-axis (50 units more). Why? How can I simulate
it? The problem is that the real values are those last ones... I already
noticed that this whole thing is too tied to GUI, but I don't see any point
in which some 'current GUI page'-dependent code could mess up the results :(

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I am looking for a way to script the selection of all graphical 
operators within a pre-defined rectangular area in the current page.
Doing it by hand (LMB pressed and drag) works, but I would perfer not to 
have to do this for every page in a 390 page document.
Does anyone have a suggested code-snippet for me to work with? I find 
nothing in the documentation.

I am fighting a deadline, so rapid answers would be HIGHLY appreciated.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards,

Andor Holtsmark

Hello guys.

I am still on my looong way to code some automated redaction tool.
So far, I am able to redact simple texts (i.e., simple/single 'Tj'
operators). But now I face the fact that there are some texts to whom I
can't apply the same technique: complex 'Tj' operators. I was looking
deeply into 'pdfedit' source and I found a piece of code that do what I
need, except for the fact that it is too tied to GUI (or at least, that's
what I reach to understand) :(
I "sweep" a bit and now I have, in one hand, a QSA script with the right
functionality, and in the other hand, some C++ code extending somehow the
current 'pdfedit' version. But there is something left: the QSA part needs
all the involved QSPdfOperators, but I don't know how to ...return them?
emit them? from the C++ code (where I have a collection of the involved
PdfOperators --note the lack of 'QS' preffix). How can I just create a new
instance of a QSPdfOperator having a PdfOperator? I tried this:
...
BaseCore *bc = new BaseCore();
boost::shared_ptr<PdfOperator> textOp;
...
return QSPdfOperator(textOp, bc);

but I got:

error: no matching function for call to
‘gui::QSPdfOperator::QSPdfOperator(gui::QSPdfOperator)’
note: candidates are:
...
note:
gui::QSPdfOperator::QSPdfOperator(boost::shared_ptr<pdfobjects::PdfOperator>,
gui::BaseCore*)
note:   candidate expects 2 arguments, 1 provided

What is wrong? I am missing something for sure, but I don't know what it is
:(
Could you help me, please?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

This time I tried editing my own PDF. I selected a line of text.
The text appeared in the box just above the document window.
I edited the text and pressed Enter. The text on the document 
then disappeared. Either I am doing something or the software is broken.

Hi,
I can add text without issue.

If I delete part of a text everything below will not display on my Kindle.

If I add text with the Add Text button everything below that will not display.

This issue only applies to the pages I have edited.
All other pages before and after the edited page display normally.

In either case the PDF displays normally in PDF reader on my PC.

I note that existing text has many string parameters.
The edited or added text has none.
I have no idea what that means. I think it is the source of the problem. 
If this is the problem I haven’t been able to fix it.

I’m using PDFedit 0.4.3 in Puppy Linux.
I got this from my distro’s repository.
I will not be able to obtain a later version.

Thank you for your help.

Hi @all,
Is it possible with pdfedit to find text within a pdf document and highlight it (yellow, red..) without opening a gui?

What I want to do:
In the first step I want to highlight the word "hello" within the document test.pdf
In the next step I want to highlight the word "hello" not only once, but every "hello" within the document.
The last step would be to have a list of words and/or phrases which would be searched, marked and highlighted within a document without opening a gui.

Is it possible to do this with the pdfedit library?

If a gui is necessary to edit the documents, how can I use the already available commands "search, multiselect and highlight" within a plugin?

Kind regards,
Thomas

I am not so sure if this have sense from pdfedit architecture
perspective, but it does for me :(

Like I mentioned before
(https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=30269225), I
need to draw rectangles. From the GUI console, 'drawRect' does what I
need, but when I try to use it from a script, then I get "! TypeError.
'drawRect' undefined or not a function". How can I access to such
functionality? Is there any other way to draw rectangles into a
specific page?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ale,

regarding scripting see
http://pdfedit.petricek.net/wiki/ScriptingAddNewScript

regarding flattening, that is how it is done, if you know c++ it should 
be pretty simple, probably not effective though.

Well, I just realize that there is a "flatten" tool that:
- ask for an existing (PDF) file path; and then
- ask for an output (PDF) file path; and then
- save into the second file the last version of every object into the
first file.
So, this seems to do what I need, but not in the way I expected to: do
I really need to save the current changes, and then invoke the flatten
tool with the file path? Am I really unable to just process the
current (in-memory) document?

Any way, all I need now is to know how to script my goal:
- open a PDF file;
- make some texts replacements;
- (optionally) draw lines/rects at fixed positions;
- save the document ensuring that it will contain just one revision.
The only way I know so far for achieving this, is to save first the
document with new revisions and then pass its path to the flatten
tool, but even this way, I don't know how to write an script for all
this. Any help?

In the meanwhile, I will look deep into the code trying to find a way
to use a shortcut.

Hi all.

As far as I've read, once we save all changes, a new revision is created.
My goal is to "rewrite" the current content instead of creating a new
revision into the document: lets say I "spellcheck" the content of the
document, I need then to be able to save the changes in a way in which
the wrong words are no longer into the final PDF. Is there any way in
which I can accomplish it?

In the case in which the current pdfedit implementation doesn't cover
such functionality, what should I modify to get the expected result?

Thanks in advance.

Hey,
     I have built pdfedit under Slackware 13.37 64 bit using the
     Slackbuild qt3 support.

     When I bring up the GUI, certain icons on the tool bar are there
     only in outline.

     These icon correspond to menu entries in the pdfeditrc file
     which have an "item classes" field after the icon field.
     i.e  the icon in the following line displays correctly in the
     toolbar:-

      closew   = item Close Window , closewindow ,    , close.png

      whereas the icon in THIS line does not:-

      reloadpage = item Reload Page (show changes), go(), F5 , reload.png  ,need_page_rw

     If I remove the ',need_page_rw' from the line, then the icon
     displays properly.

    I dont like to remove these items from the rc file just to get the
    GUI to look nice so does anyone have a proper solution?

cheers

Hello,

as I am a newbye oin this forum, I apologize in advance if my question has already been solved.

Of course, I already scrutinized both online Doc and forum archive, but unsucsessfully ;-)

OK, let's go : I open a pdf document 'A.pdf' with the PDFEdit gui. My goal is to add pages from a second document 'B.pdf'

For this, I use the menu Tool>Insert Pages from other Document
(sorry, the translation is may be inaccurate, as I use the French version)

I get a new window, where I can indeed choose 'B.pdf', and then I find two columns of page numbers : the left one seems to be for the source document (B.pdf). There I can click indeed page numbers here (but one by one :-(
The right colums appears to be for the destination document (A.pdf), but it remains empty...

Any idea ?

Thanks a lot in advance ! Otherwise this soft is really a good job !!
All the best,

François

Yes this is said but the current GUI depends on QT3 heavily and it is
not trivial to port it to QT4. A new gui which popped out recently is
not merged into the project yet because there is not enough man power to
do that.

I guess you can still get qt3 libraries from some repository and compile
it locally.

I wish it would be so easy but it's not unfortunately.

Hello,
Im trying to use pdfedit on a wheezy box. I have seen that qt3 support has
been removed from wheezy and a package of pdfedit was, also, removed from
repo.
Have you some clue how can be pdfedit used on wheezy? I have tried putting
qtdir=/usr/share/qt4 but doesnt work.

kind regards,
Juanmi.

Well What I really want to compare is the btree of both revisions to see
what fields have been changed and which ones have been added, although it
has little or no effect on visual way.

Whoops. I misunderstood.

To my knowledge there are two possible ways. If difference in text 
content is what you seek, then save to both PDFs to text files and take 
the diff.

If difference in formatting is what you seek, ... you're on your own.

That's PDFedit's best feature.  It allows you to save revisions within a 
PDF. See quote below.

Do not hesitate and ask about that on our pdfedit-support mailing list.

You are right. The name is rather misleading. Copy revision would be 
much more intuitive as this is exactly what is done. I will talk to the 
rest of the team about this change.

Btw. Why do you use this functionality in the first place?

Are you OK with the renaming to Copy revision?

Hello everybody!
I would like to know if there is any way to compare or make a diff with the
differents embbeded revisions contained in a pdf document.
Thank you very much.

This might be a bug in Mac's Preview. Xpdf core (used by PDFedit
as well) is more relaxed when it comes to reading not 100% correct
documents but if your document looks correctly in Acrobat Reader then
I would rather blame Mac's Preview. Acrobat Reader tends to be quite
unforgiving when it comes to the specification compliance.
