...sorry, my previous comment only applies to the stable version 1.4.7 - changing "HKCU\Software\QtProject.." to "HKCU\Software\Trolltech.." in "ScribusPortable.ini" does it.

Free PDF Editor allows you to insert text and images into text and image boxes, as well as rectangles and ellipses. Within a text box, you can change font, alignment, size, and color. Useful for creating quick-and-dirty PDFs without having to use OpenOffice or having access to a print-to-PDF program.
NOTE: This program merely exports to PDFs and cannot open them.

I guess this is a PDF *creator* and not editor... useful to create a PDF from scratch but can not edit existing ones...

It shouldn't be included in as a PDF editor.

As in 2010 year comments, this is not a real editor: it just can't open any pdf file. |
