You could convert the .pdf file to a text editor format such as .doc, make changes, then convert it back.

The information on-line is very poor for profane, as I am. with the script lines in Linux. I have several .pdf files coming out from the scanning of certificates and study diplomas, with which I would like to make a unique file, composed as a cathalog of my studies and work experiences. The help file is too much technique for my knowledge about linux, and I couldn't found any useful help in this sense. Can anybody lend me a hand about or gently indicate me where to found a less "technical" information?
Thanks in advance,
Chaval
