How are you making the PDF file? Which application are you using and which version of Ubuntu?

You don'y have to 'bump' The question has 15 DAYS. If there is no activity after 15 days, then the question expires. Bumping after 2 hours does nothing

Brian Marine, you could import the PDF into LibreOffice Draw via the libreoffice-pdfimport package extension. I have done this on many occassions to begin editing, save for later, and finish editing PDF documents. As an alternative, Google Docs has a reasonable PDF import/export functionality.

Can you help with this problem?
