PdfTools does some of what you ask for but if you want an open source, bells and whistles editor of pdfs then I believe you're out of luck. PdfEdit does a reasonable if somewhat flaky job but nowhere near as good as Adobe's own software and even then it's not that good despite it's high cost. Also Adobe frequently releases new versions of pdf (5 in the last 0 years) so it's difficult for open source software to keep up..tom wrote:Neil Stone wrote:-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Does anyone know of a good GUI tool I can use to manipulate PDFs in GNU/Linux with ease ?

I would like to be able to add new pages, rotate pages, remove other pages, edit test.. you know, the whole 9 yards..
As far as I understand it Adobe originally designed the Portable Document Format as a standard format for the quick and easy production of documents. Editing was never part of the original design.
By the way if you want free gui software that allows you to produce really excellent pdfs then you can't do better than to use Scribus.
