pdf crashes when trying to import a document with different paper size.

Say you work on an A4 papaer and then try to import a 'letter' sized document - instant crash.

It would be good if pdfedit could offer on-the-fly conversion for similar-sized papers ( A4-letter seems like an easy fit) - or even better offer some import options: crop to size, scale bounding box, or just fit 1:1

The solution right now seems to be to print out the document from kpdf into desired paper size and then import it here.

Thanks for a great app!

If you run gentoo it has a good ebuild in the sunrise overlay for the latest...

Would love to try your editor.. but.. I can't even run ,/configure, I get this error:

configure: error: QTDIR environment variable must be set

I have the QT3 and QT4 dev stuff and the boost libs installed... although I get the feeling that isn't the issue, since the configure thing usually tells me what I'm missing...

Example using bashrc.

user@host:~$vim ~/.bashrc

QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
QT4DIR=/usr/share/qt4
export QTDIR QT4DIR

:wq!

user@host:~$ cd path/To/Source

usr@host:~at/Source/Directory$./configure --with-qt-dir=$QTDIR

usr@host:~at/Source/Directory$make

and gentoo distribution

Nice software.

where would I find rtld(GNU_HASH). I can't find it anywhere. I found a few open suse and fedora rpm but no sources to build from.
Can you provide a complete deps list?

Thanks

cool application!! I'd love to have network transparancy, though, why don't you guys use the KIOslaves and the KDE filedialog?

if platfrom-independence is a problem, maybe you can start using those when you port to Qt4, as KDE 4/Qt4 are platform independent :D

Thank you very much for sharing your work.
I read all comments and finally got a package being able to install on my Debian Etch (5,5 MB).
When trying to install the package there appears an error, telling me that pdfedit_0.3.0-1_i386.deb is trying to replace /usr/share/qt3/mkspecs/default which also is in qt3-dev-tools.
Can you please give me a hint how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

compiling exception:

configure: error: You need boost library to compile PDFedit

but boost is installed

suse 10.1
boost 1.33.1-17 (with yast)

what is the problem?

On Debian Sid /usr/include/boost isn't just one set of APIs so I just selected all available to cover all bases.

Guys, I'd love to see some KDE integration. The KDE file-open dialog, the KDE toolbars and shortcut editor - you can add them easily and they would improve your app a lot... And of course network transparency would be great, and the KIOslaves give you that. Now I have to copy files over by hand...

worked on version 0.2.5 but the application is too buggy. I was unable to delete one word from a pdf file, although it allowed me to add a word. Then I reopened the modified pdf file and found out that the page I modified was cut in half. :(

On Debian/unstable, compiling requires libqt3-dev-tools/stable, libqt3-headers/stable and libqt3-dev/stable, otherwise it fails. In addition, one needs Motif, docbook-xsl, and doxygen. Also libboost-*-dev libraries, a total of 12. At some point I had to do:
$export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
and continued with make again. The size of the resulting executable pdfedit is about 61MB. Wow.

Have tried 0.2.4 with these env

QTDIR=/usr/qt/3/ QMAKESPEC="/usr/qt/3/mkspecs/linux-g++"

and have got the same error - 'src/kpdf-kde-3.3.2' dir still doesn't see qt3 :-(

... this way:

PATH=/usr/qt/3/bin:$PATH; QTDIR=/usr/qt/3/; QMAKESPEC="/usr/qt/3/mkspecs/linux-g++"; ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
