Looking for Simple PDF Text Editor

I have a very old laptop, and wanted a "simple PDF Text Editor".
Basically, just a really express version where I can open a PDF, edit the existing text on the document and then resave the PDF.
What's the simplest version without installing the Suites, or the full program?
Is there just a simple version available?

Adobe sells Acrobat Standard and Pro, that's it. Editing text in a PDF is not a trivial task, they're not intended to be editable documents.

Is there a Simple free Text Editor for Belle?

Symbian has been around for a very long time but I'm still struggling to find a
simple free text editor where I can create a *.txt file and write down information in it or perhaps I don't know about it, so I was wondering is anyone familiar in any free text editor compatible with Belle?
Thanking you in advance.
Bobak.

I use Notes. You know, standard notes. And easiest way to get this "file" out from the phone is to send it by e-mail.

Looking for a pdf reader which meets these requirements

I am looking for a pdf reader which meets these requirements:
1- Open pdf starting from last page opened during last session
2- Be able to scroll between pages vertically (not horizontally like many current ones do). Vertical scroll should be a continuous smooth scroll without doing a sudden full page pull in. Should behave as if pdf is one single very long page.
3- Should be able to change width of page and lock it. Page should not move sideways. Page width should be remembered so when same pdf is opened, it opens in that width.
4- A fast scroll feature. Useful for pdf's with hundreds of pages.
5- Nice to have feature: when opening the pdf reader, it automatically opens the last pdf file on the last page read.
I have tried all the free pdf readers in the AppStore and none met all these requirements except for two which had these issues:
1- iRead limitation: When screen is touched for more than a second, the page is frozen (locked) and page can't be scrolled. Scrolling is done when doing quick swipes only
2- FileApp limitation: Does not remember last page opened. Does not remember last width set. Fast scroll doesn't work properly when width is other than default.

iAnnotate additional points
iAnnotate works with DropBox to download and upload edited PDFs. It does all the other same things, email, USB, and iTunes etc. but it also can download PDFs from any web site.
You can transfer hundreds if not thousands of files at one whack using the AIJ Utility on your desktop.
If you transfer a large number of files you have to plan not to use iAnnotate a while as it has an index function that indexes all the text into a master 'dictionary' so it can do searches for data and find PDFs for you. This indexing takes hours if you transfer hundreds of moderate size PDFs at one time.
The biggest PDF I have feed it was a Gimp manual at close to a thousand pages.
Remember the scratch pad ram is only 256 MB in the current iPad. You can cash iAnnotate if you do something really dumb with such a large file. Other applications also grab and hold onto chunks of this ram in the iPad so it is best to force a memory reset before doing anything that is going to max out that ram.
iAnnotate allows you to have more than one PDF open at a time and you can tab between all the open PDFs in a blink just as you would in a tabbed web browser.
If you zoom a page larger than the width of the screen it slides around. Less than the width of the screen the page locks in the size while scrolling which is smooth between pages.
iAnnotate is a very well made product for dealing with PDFs. Annotations display in Goodreader and in the Mac OS Preview.

I am looking for good pdf conversion program like omni pro 18

i am looking for good pdf conversion software, like omnipage pro 18 by nuance, it is only supported by windows, what is good?

What are you trying to convert the pdf to (MS word, text, what)?
Here's one for word: PDF Converter
Possibly another way for word: How to Convert PDF to Word Document on a Mac

Looking for a PDF editor for Mac.

I have hundreds of PDF files that contain the combination of letters "XX" and I want them all to be "HH" is there an editor out there that can do this?
I tried using Pitstop, and it cannot batch anything like this. I would like to be able to do many files at the same time. If I have to do them one at a time, I may as well keep doing it the way I am.
Currently going back to the ID file making the change and re-writing PDF---working fine, just wondering if there is a better way.
Just looking for a way to make text edits in the PDF, I have found some editors for PC but having issues with PS fonts. Yes I could change everything to open type, and then do the change, but that may bring on new problems.
thanks

Where can I find a user-guide for the awfull Text-Editor used to enter/edit these forums entries?

I am desesperate to understand how quite basic functions (just as one of many examples: how can I paste text, that I have formatted in MS Word and want to paste into a Forum Post-Entry?) can be done with the primitive and awful Text Editor used to enter/edit Forum Entries. Notice, that like many other Adobe users, I am not familiar at all with HTML and it is therefore a description of the badly named "Full Editor" that I am looking for.
Where can I find a User-Guide for this Text Editor?
My recommendation to Adobe: exercise enough brute pressure on the developers of this primitive Text Editor to force them to provide something more reasonable, more powerful and more intuitive.

Thank You Jochem
I was trying to understand how I could do things as simple as inserting text that I had previously copied. Since there are neither command menüs nor buttons for the Insert of previously copied text, I was trying a mouse right click.....and was being offered in the context menu the choice between "Insert Link", "Insert Image", "Alignement", and "Insert Table"....... but no possibility of a plain insert of previously copied text.
Now, I realize, that Clearstream supports at least the keyword shortcut of "Ctrl V" ........that I am not using in any other software (I never use any keyboard shortcuts).
Since Clearstream does not support reasonable choices in the contextual menus, I will need to memorize the most important keyword shortcuts.
By the way: I detected now, that the "Ctrl V" keyboard shortcut allows me to insert formatted text.
Even, if I will now begin to be able to use reasonably Clearstream, I am quite surprised to see that such a software provides neither reasonable Contextual Menus, nor a User Guide, nor........
Thank you again Jochem for your patience with me.

Looking for simple line drawing program [Solved]

I am looking for a simple line drawing program with the following features :
command-driven ( line, circle, ellips and such commands)
used commands need to be exportable or copyable
2D
a canvas with arbitrary size
libreoffice Draw, Koffice Karbon and xfig are not suitable for this.
I have some experience with Autocad, but no access to that anymore.
Any suggestions ?

Looking for a graphical text popup program

I'm looking for a really specific type of program, and I don't really know where to start since I don't really know of a simple way to describe it and put into a search engine...
I want a program that will display a graphical popup on the screen with large text - something where I can type:
popup "test"
in the command line and a window or overlay will pop up showing "test" with a large font. The only thing I've seen that does this is Quicksilver for OS X: <http://www.oakinnovations.co.uk/blog/wp … arning.png>.
For clarification: I don't mean a fully automated desktop notification program, but if one of them can provide this feature, that would work.

Right, it's called osd_cat, and it's available through xosd.
An image search will throw up a few screenshots.

Any function module for calling a text editor in subscreen?

Hi,
I would like to know if there is any function module that can be used to call a text/note editor and can be displayed in a subscreen of a main screen (dialog programming)? This text/note editor should not be able to edit, but for display only.
Please help. Thanks...

Hi Pablo,
I have look through the program SAPTEXTEDIT_TEST_1. This program does the Text Selection and Highlighting the Text only after the buttons of each of the function is clicked.
My requirements will be, having all the selected text (with a string pattern) to be highlighted when this text editor is displayed. Is this possible?
Really thanks for your replies...

Looking for simple touch-to-command utility

More and more people are using laptops these days, but the number of utilities providing extra touch functionality seems still lacking. I'm looking for a simple utility that will let me bind (multi-) touch gestures to keybindings, and preferably also commands.
For instance:
2-finger swipe-left > Mod1-arrowleft
3-finger swipe-up > exec dmenu_run
Does anyone know of such a utility?

Hey litemotiv,
Easystroke will do that. I use it with my stylus/tablet to execute apps, commands, text, (ie: passwords, signature, etc), key-bindings, etc... While easystroke <upstream version> isn't multi-touch, there does happen to be a multi-touch version - but as a disclaimer ~ i haven't actually used the MT version. However, here is a link to the blog about it (english translation);
http://translate.google.com/translate?u … 1&ie=UTF-8
It's also in the AUR;
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54495
let me know how it works out! (i plan on going multitouch soonish)

Looking for simple timeline/calendar screenlet/widget.

Good day gentlemen,
I'm looking for a simple screenlet or widget for linux that is a calendar, but designed to be more of a timeline of past events than a reminder of future events. For my specific purpose in this case I'm trying to lose weight. So I'm seeking an application to record my previous weight and other notes about what i ate, and how much and what kind of nutrients i had that day. I would like to keep it in a calendar or timeline like format. Something easy to the point where if my buddy asked me how much i weighed last week or what i did last week, i can simply click on the date and all my notes appear about my weight, and what i ate, etc. Also simple to input data like clicking on the date and entering a note about that day. Something easy to use and sort of integrated into the desktop such as a screenlet or widget, so I don't have to open up a separate window to view these records. I did a little research and was able to find a few things, Rainlendar being one of them. But I feel most of what i found are way more complicated for my purpose. Would any of you happen to have any suggestions on what application would most suit my purpose in its most simplistic form? thanks in advance for your kind and prompt response
Sincerely,
Sicariuxs

There are, apparently, quite a variety of tools just for this purpose. here's one. That was just the first one up from a search, I don't actually know anything about it. But overall, I'd suggest you actually narrow your search as there are tools targetted specifically for such goals.

Looking for a PDF app for iPad

Hi,
I'm sure I'm not the only one who's thought of this so I'm a believer that someone has created an app to help me and I can't find it!
Pretty much, I'm looking for an app that will allow me to edit PDF's on my ipad and then send it (Via WiFi or Bluetooth) to my laptop.
For example:
Drawing a graph on my ipad, with detailed information, sending that to my macbook and then adding/inserting it to my PDF file on my laptop
(Like getting a notification on my mac, loading it, draging it to my pdf, and vola!)
If there is such a thing can someone help me out (If not feel free to take my idea and makes some money off of it, just let me know that you did!)
Thanks

Hey there
"pdf creator" for iPad works flawlessly for me working with pdf files
It takes care of all my needs
I'm not sure about sending via Wifi or Bluetooth but I send them via e- mail all the time
Possibly it could handle your needs as well
Just type it into the App Store search field and the first one that comes up is the one I use
Jump on over there and read up on it before buying and see if it will help you
Hope this helps
Regards

Looking for simple search example using SELECT

Can anyone link me to an example of how to create a basic search page where the search criteria is selected in a drop-down list (<SELECT> in HTML)?
Here's where I'm coming from so you have a better idea of what I'm trying to do. I've created a search page by creating a method in my App Module java class using setWhereClause(), then dropped my view onto my web page as a read-only table, and finally dropped the method and parameter as a command button and input text field, respectively. This works fine, but I'd like to replace the input text field with a select box so that the users will not have to type in their search criteria. I'd like to populate the drop-down with data from a table, which will then be sent as the argument for the method.
I can create a ViewObject that contains the data I need, but I'm not sure where to go from there. I don't know how to create the drop-down list or connect the command button to the list. (Ultimately, I'd like to have the search text submitted when the drop-down changes, but I'll settle for pressing the button for now). I've fooled with using the LOV component, but without any luck.
Step-by-step would be great, but if you can point me to an example, some documentation, etc., that would be great too.
Thanks,
Andy

Excellent - Thanks for the link to the sample code page. I thought I had seen all the tutorials, etc. but for some reason never came across this page. The example you cited looks like it's just what I'm looking for.
(Edit - For anyone who's interested, here's a step-by-step for creating a databound drop down list:

Looking for Simple JSTL Example

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for an example of a simple Web application that uses "JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library" (JSTL) -- that doesn't use JDeveloper!

Thanks Qiang.
Yes, when I copy file "index.jsp" to directory "%J2EE_HOME%\default-web-app\testJstl.jsp" it works.
I use the following URL:
http://localhost:8888/testJstl.jspAnd this is the output I get:

[/pre]
But I guess, since the JSTL related JAR files are part of the default Web application, there is no reason it shouldn't work.
That's why you said:
Let us do a sanity test first.So now what?
(And, by the way, thanks for your help.)

Looking for SIMPLE time tracking app

Hi all
I'm looking for a really simple 'retrospective' time sheet app - wondering if anyone knows one?
I've seen literally hundreds, but they all want you to 'click to start the clock' and then click to end it. This doesn't work for me, as I spend only about 25% of my time in front of the computer.
What I'm looking for is something that I can put all my client contacts in, then separately link projects to those clients. Then at the end of each day I can quickly recall what I did during the day and assign time to each project.
Most apps want you to assign time to each project as you go through the day, so its relatively painless to switch projects. However when you do it all at the end of the day, you don't want to keep entering the date, you just want to enter the start/end time, and what project it was. More like a journal entry I guess.
Then at the end of the month it would print a report that groups the hours worked on each project so that you can review them and create an invoice (or in my case send to my accounts clerk who makes the invoice for me).
Any ideas from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi shannonbray, welcome to the AppleWorks forum, which is intended for discussions of Apple's now-legacied productivity suite called AppleWorks.
One could develop such a template using the spreadsheet or database modules of AW separately or in combo,but it doesn't sound as if that's your aim. I'm sure clever types have done such things, and perhaps shared them to the AWUserGroups and such, and I hope they note your post and reply. There are certainly numerous clever folks who follow this forum, and they may have pointers to other apps for you, but essentially I think you've posed the wrong question in the wrong place.
