How can I install PDFedit on Ubuntu 14.04?

Solution 1:

You can find the pdfedit for Linux at:

The current Ubuntu dropped support for the libqt3-mt library. Currently you can add it by editing your /etc/apt/sources.list and adding the lines:

# libqt3-mnt
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main

Then run:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install libmng1 libqt3-mt

Now you can install the pdfeditor with (choose either 32b or 64bit):

Install pdfedit (32bit)

$ wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pdfedit/pdfedit_0.4.5-2_i386.deb     
$ sudo dpkg -i pdfedit_0.4.5-2_i386.deb

64 bit version:

Download and install pdfedit

$ wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pdfedit/pdfedit_0.4.5-2_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i pdfedit_0.4.5-2_amd64.deb

Thank you for the great help!

Just a little change to apply since Lucid archive moved:

#libqt3-mnt
deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main

Replace cz.archive with old-releases

#libqt3-mnt 
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main
