![]() ![]() Xournal++ is a cross-platform, open source, hand note-taking software written in C++, targeting flexibility, functionality, and speed. This is a basic PDF editor that’s limited to basic documents editing, which allows a user to make small changes to their PDF files, mostly text editing. It’s pre-installed in most of the Linux distributions. LibreOffice Draw is a free and open source vector graphics editor, which is bundled in the LibreOffice office suite, but it can also be used for editing PDF files. The below tools allow you to edit the PDF content, including annotate, highlight, modify text, add or remove images, etc, in Linux. Part-I: Best PDF content editors for Linux ![]() In this tutorial, we will show you some of the best PDF editors that can be used to edit contents, split and merge pdf documents in Linux. But most of the time we only read the pdf documents.īy default all Linux distributions come with a PDF viewer but not with a PDF editor. They can can be edited however, to some extent when necessary using pdf editors. PDF files are most reliable and secure way to share the documents with others over email because they cannot be manipulated easily. Documents, forms, and web pages encoded in PDF can be correctly displayed on any device, including smartphones and tablets. It is widely used for exchanging electronic documents. ![]() iText Group does not endorse the use of Pdftk.PDF stands for Portable Document Format. Pdftk is a third party tool based on an obsolete and no longer supported version of iText. You may have small differences, but if you are OK with what the form looks like in Ubuntu Document Viewer (a viewer that doesn't support XFA), then you should be fine.ĭISCLAIMER: I am the CEO of the iText Group. This is a long answer to explain that, if you have a hybrid form, it is in most cases OK to throw away the XFA part. Hence if you have text that is justified in an XFA form, but you only look at the AcroForm, then the text won't be justified (because justified text doesn't exist in an AcroForm text field). However, this option doesn't exist in an AcroForm text field (you can only have left, center or right alignment). For instance: a text field in an XFA form can be justified (similar to in HTML). XFA has more functionality that AcroForm technology.If the form isn't filled out correctly, the AcroForm can be different from the XFA form.Ideally, both versions of the form are indeed equivalent, but: What's the problem, you might ask? Aren't both forms equivalent? A viewer that is XFA aware, can give preference to the data as stored in the XFA form. For instance: a viewer that is not XFA aware, will show you the data as stored in the AcroForm. Hybrid forms are a pain because they often lead to confusion. However, it seems that you are confronted with a hybrid form that consists of both AcroForm and XFA syntax. If you have a dynamic XFA form, dropping the XML will remove the complete form. Obviously, such a form is not dynamic: the AcroForm part still defines widget annotations that are defined at absolute positions on specific pages. In this case, the form is described twice: once using PDF objects once using XML. Hybrid forms that combine AcroForm and XFA technology.We refer to this as dynamic XFA, because the form can expand or shrink based on the data that is added: a 1-page form can turn into a 100-page form by adding more data. In this case, the PDF file is nothing but a container for an XML file that describes the whole form. Dynamic forms using the XML Forms Architecture (XFA).The form is described using nothing but PDF syntax. In this case, each field corresponds with one or more widgets with fixed positions on specific pages. ![]()
