Am wondering if anybody has used or knows of a PDF editor for
NetBSD.
I've been playing with this...
html -> html2ps -> ps->pdf
...and it works okay.
But the final PDF is only semi like the original. Nearly all
of the CSS is lost. I find it to be the html2ps stage which
loses those styles.
I know PostScript pretty well. But that html2ps script
obfuscates the code something awful to minimize file size. It
is just plain unreadable, let alone editable.
I might try to edit html2ps to undo all that and output
unobfuscated PostScript since html2ps is in Perl...except that
it runs more than 4K lines of code. Thus I am intimidated.
Being lazy and impatient I hope for a way to maybe tweak the
PDF instead. I find that the PDF contains binary. So I would
need an editor. Anybody know of one?
I suppose I could study XSL:FO and FOP but am hoping for an
easy out since I won't be using it that often. Firstly it is
aimed at avoiding MS-Word so as to distribute my resume. To
give it out as PDF would be cool. But it should not look
kludgy, yes?
Thanks,
Gan
