Pseudo, because you can't actually +edit existing PostScript documents, but you can add arbitrary text lines to +existing documents. +It is useful for filling in forms etc. + +Usage: +- open an existing PostScript document. +- click anywhere on the document and type a text line. +- adjust the size of your text line +- the frame around the text shows, which text line has the focus. +- remove text, by hitting BackSpace. +- navigate within the document with the Page->next or Page->first menu buttons. +- save your document and preview it with ghostview or something + similar. +- if you reopen the document with flpsed, you can edit the added text lines. + +Features: +- add arbitrary text to existing PostScript documents. +- reedit text, that has been added with flpsed. + +Restrictions: +- flpsed probably does not work on all existing PostScript documents. + You simply have to test it. +- the view size is currently hardcoded DIN A4. +- flpsed is alpha software, so please backup your files, befor trying to + modify them. + +Building: +- flpsed only works on X11-based systems. +- you need to have ghostscript installed. +- you need to have fltk-1.1.x from www.fltk.org installed. +- unpack the tarball and type "make". |
