I had, in the past, a .pdf reader that also permitted me to fill in some information, when I received a .pdf file.
I have KPDF installed, but that seems to only have Reader capability.
Trying to install xpdf, with yum, I get this dependency error from rpmforge: 1:xpdf-3.02-8.el5.rf.i386 from rpmforge has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: libXm.so.4 is needed by package 1:xpdf-3.02-8.el5.rf.i386 (rpmforge) Error: Missing Dependency: libXm.so.4 is needed by package 1:xpdf-3.02-8.el5.rf.
Then, if I try to yum install libXm.so.4 I get this error: No package libXm.so.4 available.
Received a contract via email and I would like to add some information and send it back via email.
If someone can recommend a Package that I can install, that will be appreciated. Hopefully, something as easy to use as what I had before. It just worked. :-) Unfortunately, I cannot remember which package it was. :-)
TIA! Lanny http://www.magazines-magazine.com/

LibreOffice 3 comes with a PDF Import plugin which allows you to edit PDF's with draw and save as pdf.

I think what the OP wants is a program that can deal with the Adobe's 'Fill In Form' type of PDF. The PDF Toolkit (I have pdftk-1.12-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm on my system -- for CentOS 4 and don't know if a el5 version exists) has a CLI program that can do this (you need to dump the form information and create a FDF file). Otherwise, I believe Adobe's Reader is the only program available that does this with a GUI. I don't believe xpdf can do this and what OpenOffice / LibreOffice do is something else (an import of the PDF in the writer tool as a word processing document or something, which can then be edited and re-exported as a PDF).

<snip> I was assuming that a) the form is a fill-in-certain-fields type form, not that he wanted to edit the form itself, and b) that he had some reason for not wanting Adobe Reader on his system, which of course allows you to fill in the blanks. Our answer to saving that, which Adobe doesn't want you to do, is to print it to the pdfprinter driver. It's uneditable after that, of course.

libXm.so.4 is provided by package openmotif, which is present in C5 for x86_64. Can't see it in the i386 repo. Looks like something is broken for 5.7/base i386? The i386 version of the package is present in the x86_64 repo though... So you can get it from there. You can even get a newer version than the one included in 5.7/base, by going to 5.6/updates in the vault. I guess this one will end up in 5.6/updates at some point.
For your purpose though, I'm not sure xpdf can edit pdfs. When I have to do that I use AdobeReader from the adobe site.

"libXm.so.4" is a dependency; not a package name.
# yum whatprovides *libXm.so* ... openmotif22-2.2.3-18.i386 : Open Motif runtime libraries and executables Repo : base Matched from: Filename : /usr/lib/libXm.so.3 Filename : /usr/lib/libXm.so.3.0.2 Other : libXm.so.3
So apparently no "libXm.so.4" in base, repoforge or elrepo... You could ask in the repoforge mailing list.

There's a 32 bit version of openmotif in CentOS 5.7 x86_64.
It would probably need a few extra rpm's as well.

Right, as Nicolas pointed out in his post, openmotif 32-bit is missing in the CentOS 5.7 i386 repo. I suppose/hope this will be corrected sometime soon ...

THANK YOU, to each of you who replied, and for the information you provided!
Evince Document Viewer cannot do form filling. KPDF (based on xpdf) cannot do form filling. KGhostView cannot do form filling.
I installed pdfedit, a pdf editor, which can do it. This is not what I used before, which apparently was a pdf reader with form filling ability, but, this works. :-)
Probably a PDF Editor is not what I was looking for, but a PDF Form Filler is it.
Adobe Reader I would gladly install, if I knew the proper yum command. I have the Adobe Repository installed, but so far, no joy, getting yum to install it. :-)

Thank you! I had the Repository installed, but didn't have the correct name for the package. The 61 MB download should finish in a minute or two. I need to leave now, but will check it out later. Thanks again to everyone! Lanny

With the Adobe repository installed, "yum search adobereader" should give you a list of candidates, one of which has it's description in English, strongly suggesting that "AdobeReader_enu" is what you want. Note that this will be a 32-bit application, so it will bring in a lot of 32-bit library dependencies if you're installing it on a 64-bit system.

It actually can, though I'm a) not sure if the version current with CentOS 5.x can, and b) it can sometimes be quirky. <snip>

Not familiar with that - I'll have to look at it. <snip>

yum install AdobeReader_enu
---- everyone apparently assumes that he wants the Universal English but he lives in a country where Spanish is the norm.
'yum search AdobeReader' should give a wide variety of versions including AdobeReader.esp which is probably what the OP wants.
