I'm not, for a variety of reasons I won't go into here. - -I won't go so far as saying PDFs are a necessary evil in my personal and professional life—rather they're a necessary not-so-good. Often I have to use PDFs, even though there are better alternatives for delivering documents. - -When I work with PDFs, usually at the day job and with one of those other operating systems, I fiddle with them using Adobe Acrobat. But what about when I have to work with PDFs on the Linux desktop? Let's take a look at two of the graphical tools I use to manipulate PDFs. - -### PDF-Shuffler - -As its name suggests, you can use [PDF-Shuffler][1] to move pages around in a PDF file. It can do a little more, but the software's capabilities are limited. That doesn't mean PDF-Shuffler isn't useful. It is. Very useful. - -You can use PDF-Shuffler to: - - * Extract pages from PDF files - * Add pages to a file - * Rearrange the pages in a file - - - -Be aware that PDF-Shuffler has a few dependencies, like pyPDF and python-gtk. Usually, installing it via a package manager is the fastest and least frustrating route. - -Let's say you want to extract pages from a PDF, maybe to act as a sample chapter from your book. Open the PDF file by selecting **File > Add**. - -![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/pdfshuffler-book.png) - -To extract pages 7 to 9, press Ctrl and click-select the pages. Then, right-click and select **Export selection**. - -![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/pdfshuffler-export.png) - -Choose the directory where you want to save the file, give it a name, and click **Save**. - -To add a file—for example, to add a cover or re-insert scanned, signed pages of a contract or application—open a PDF file, then select **File > Add** and find the PDF file that you want to add. Click **Open**. - -PDF-Shuffler has an annoying habit of adding pages at the end of the PDF file you're working on. Click and drag the page you added to where you want it to go in the file. You can only click and drag one page in a file at a time. - -![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/pdfshuffler-move.png) - -### PDF Chain - -I'm a big fan of [PDFtk][2], a command-line app for doing some interesting things with and to PDFs. Since I don't use it frequently, I don't remember all of PDFtk's commands and options. - -[PDF Chain][3] is a very good alternative to PDFtk's command line. It gives you one-click access to PDFtk's most frequently used commands. Without touching a menu, you can: - - * Merge PDFs (including rotating the pages of one or more files) - * Extract pages from a PDF and save them to individual files - * Add a background or watermark to a PDF - * Add attachments to a file - -![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/pdfchain1.png) - -You can also do more. Click on the **Tools** menu to: - - * Extract attachments from a PDF - * Compress or uncompress a file - * Extract the metadata from the file - * Fill in PDF forms from an external [data file][4] - * [Flatten][5] a PDF - * Drop [XML Forms Architecture][6] (XFA) data from PDF forms - - - -To be honest, I only use the commands to extract attachments and compress or uncompress PDFs with PDF Chain or PDFtk. The rest are pretty much terra incognita for me. - -### Summing up - -The number of tools available on Linux for working with PDFs never ceases to amaze me. And neither does the breadth and depth of their features and functions. I can usually find one, whether command line or graphical, that does what I need to do. For the most part, PDF Mod and PDF Chain work well for me. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -via: https://opensource.com/article/19/2/manipulating-pdfs-linux - -作者：[Scott Nesbitt][a] -选题：[lujun9972][b] -译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) -校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) - -本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 - -[a]: https://opensource.com/users/scottnesbitt -[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 -[1]: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pdfshuffler/ -[2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDFtk -[3]: http://pdfchain.sourceforge.net/ -[4]: http://www.verypdf.com/pdfform/fdf.htm -[5]: http://pdf-tips-tricks.blogspot.com/2009/03/flattening-pdf-layers.html -[6]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFA diff --git a/translated/tech/20190212 Two graphical tools for manipulating PDFs on the Linux desktop.md b/translated/tech/20190212 Two graphical tools for manipulating PDFs on the Linux desktop.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..adcf6de0d3 --- /dev/null +++ b/translated/tech/20190212 Two graphical tools for manipulating PDFs on the Linux desktop.md @@ -0,0 +1,99 @@ +[#]: collector: (lujun9972) +[#]: translator: (geekpi) +[#]: reviewer: ( ) +[#]: publisher: ( ) +[#]: url: ( ) +[#]: subject: (Two graphical tools for manipulating PDFs on the Linux desktop) +[#]: via: (https://opensource.com/article/19/2/manipulating-pdfs-linux) +[#]: author: (Scott Nesbitt https://opensource.com/users/scottnesbitt) + +两款 Linux 桌面中的图形化操作 PDF 的工具 +====== +PDF-Shuffler 和 PDF Chain 是在 Linux 中修改 PDF 的绝佳工具。 +![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/image-full-size/public/lead-images/tools_osyearbook2016_sysadmin_cc.png?itok=Y1AHCKI4) + +由于我谈论并且写了些工作中使用 PDF 及其工具的文章，有些人认为我喜欢这种格式。其实我并不是，由于各种原因，我不会深入它。 + +我不会说 PDF 是我个人和职业生活中的一个躲不开的坏事 - 相反，它们不是那么好。通常即使有更好的替代方案来交付文档，我也必须使用 PDF。 + +当我使用 PDF 时，通常是在白天工作时在其他的操作系统上使用，我使用 Adobe Acrobat 进行操作。但是当我必须在 Linux 桌面上使用 PDF 时呢？我们来看看我用来操作 PDF 的两个图形工具。 + +### PDF-Shuffler + +顾名思义，你可以使用 [PDF-Shuffler][1] 在 PDF 文件中移动页面。它可以做得更多，但软件的功能是有限的。这并不意味着 PDF-Shuffler 没用。它有用，很有用。 + +你可以将 PDF-Shuffler 用来： + + * 从 PDF 文件中提取页面 + * 将页面添加到文件中 + * 重新排列文件中的页面 + + + +请注意，PDF-Shuffler 有一些依赖项，如 pyPDF 和 python-gtk。通常，通过包管理器安装它是最快且最不令人沮丧的途径。 + +假设你想从 PDF 中提取页面，也许是作为你书中的样本章节。选择**文件>添加**打开 PDF 文件。 + +![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/pdfshuffler-book.png) + +要提取第 7 页到第 9 页，请按住 Ctrl 并单击选择页面。然后，右键单击并选择**导出选择**。 + +![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/pdfshuffler-export.png) + +选择要保存文件的目录，为其命名，然后单击**保存**。 + +要添加文件 - 例如，要添加封面或重新插入已扫描的且已签名的合同或者应用 - 打开 PDF 文件，然后选择**文件>添加**并找到要添加的 PDF 文件。单击**打开**。 + +PDF-Shuffler 有个不好的东西就是在你正在处理的 PDF 文件末尾添加页面。单击并将添加的页面拖动到文件中的所需位置。你一次只能在文件中单击并拖动一个页面。 + +![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/pdfshuffler-move.png) + +### PDF Chain + +我是 [PDFtk][2] 的忠实粉丝，它是一个可以对 PDF 做一些有趣操作的命令行工具。由于我不经常使用它，我不记得所有 PDFtk 的命令和选项。 + +[PDF Chain][3] 是 PDFtk 命令行的一个很好的替代品。它可以让你一键使用 PDFtk 最常用的命令。无需使用菜单，你可以： + + * 合并 PDF（包括旋转一个或多个文件的页面） +  * 从 PDF 中提取页面并将其保存到单个文件中 +  * 为 PDF 添加背景或水印 +  * 将附件添加到文件 + +![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/pdfchain1.png) + +你也可以做得更多。点击**工具**菜单，你可以： + + * 从 PDF 中提取附件 +  * 压缩或解压缩文件 +  * 从文件中提取元数据 +  * 用外部[数据][4]填充 PDF 表格 +  * [扁平化][5] PDF +  * 从 PDF 表单中删除 [XML 表格结构][6]（XFA）数据 + + + +老实说，我只使用 PDF Chain 或 PDFtk 提取附件、压缩或解压缩 PDF。其余的对我来说基本没听说。 + +### 总结 + +Linux 上用于处理 PDF 的工具数量一直让我感到吃惊。它们的特性和功能的广度和深度也是如此。我通常可以找到一个，无论是命令行还是图形，它都能做我需要的。在大多数情况下，PDF Mod 和 PDF Chain 对我来说效果很好。 + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://opensource.com/article/19/2/manipulating-pdfs-linux + +作者：[Scott Nesbitt][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[geekpi](https://github.com/geekpi) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://opensource.com/users/scottnesbitt +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pdfshuffler/ +[2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDFtk +[3]: http://pdfchain.sourceforge.net/ +[4]: http://www.verypdf.com/pdfform/fdf.htm +[5]: http://pdf-tips-tricks.blogspot.com/2009/03/flattening-pdf-layers.html +[6]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFA
