Editing PDF on Linux

Need to edit a PDF on Linux ?

There are a few softwares that can do the Job but...

Here was the Problematic : adding notes on a 215 pages PDF using a small and performance-less netbook

I first tried PDF import extension of LibreOffice (opened using Draw) two issues came out : 

• importing the PDF destroyed most pictures
• the 215 pages uncompressed for editing made the netbook lagging a lot

So I needed an alternative way

• splitting the enormous pdf in smaller parts
• using another program to add notes

• Splitting using pdfmod :

installing

sudo apt-get install pdfmod

using

once the PDF was in a few smaller time it was time to add notes : 

• Adding notes using flpsed

installing : 

sudo apt-get install flpsed

using

the look isn't fancy, but it does the Job : 

You may wait a lot for the file to open (mostly linked to pdf size and PC performance)

==> Then add notes, and export to pdf when the work is done ! 

Enjoy ;)

Considering we are on Linux Mint, we use MDM as Login Window, why won't we play with it?

MDM stands for "MDM Display Manager" this is a feature of Linux Mint, it has a menu for customizing the login window (but that's not enough ;) ) more info on Linux Mint website

default window is the following : 

first we can choose a new theme in the list :

We now have this login window : 

But hey! there is an issue, i can hardly read my login and password !

Let's fix it : 

open /usr/share/mdm/themes/Dark (since the choosen theme name is "Dark")

open dark.xml as root  :

and now let's edit what needs it ;) 

seek for this : 

change the color #d6d6d6 (light gray) to #000000 (black) or any color you would like for user -pw-entry : (For you, lazy guy, here is the exact line to edit) 

and now the theme is ready to use :D

enjoy !
