I was fiddling with some pdf documents on my Debian install and was trying to edit a pdf file. Basically I was attempting to fill in form fields that did not have any actual pdf fields. It was a static pdf. What a pain.
So I was checking out programs like PDF Edit (which is a good program, but painful to use for me). Then I thought, what about Inkscape. I had used it previously to generate large posters and it worked out great.
I imported the single sheet of the pdf I wanted to fill out and it was awesome. I was able to add text boxes quickly over the pdf and save it directly back to pdf. What a great find. Likely those that are wiser than I am have figured this out already.
Thanks you guys at Inkscape for all your great work!
