  I found a nice mailing list:

http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9197&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a



  and they were saying no free PDF editor in linux except the Adobe 
Acrobat. ($500) . But someone said that we can use PDFEdit free in linux? 
I looked and yumex cannot find it. I will google.

  REgards, Rachid Ayad.
