Need a free pdf editor

[Snowhog]

Do you know how to remove the watermark?

You can't, unless you purchase the application.

Thank you.

Evidently, version 4 does not add watermarks.

I can't find version 4, do you know of a source?

google: master pdf editor 4.0.10 download

Then you will find some sites. I think you will find one on the site: OSDN.net

I do have this version installed and it works without watermarks.

Hello,

I downloaded the file. I ended up at Source Forge.

I can uninstall the current deb version via muon. How do I install the tarball (tar.gz)?

Thanks

I found that when filling in a PDF form make sure not to use any of the advanced features (non-free). Just stick to the basic functions and it doesn't add the watermark. If memory serves correctly I only used the "Typewriter" function to add text in a form and it printed fine without the watermark. I'm using version 5.1.60.

If you use a registered version function you will see a popup at the top of the document stating--

"You are not allowed to use this function in the free version. The unregistered version will insert a watermark"

I only added text, saved, and it added a watermark. Do you know how to to install a tar.gz file?

I downloaded that older version (4.0.10) to have a play with it.

I usually install stuff like this in the /usr/local/bin folder. I downloaded the master-pdf-editor-4.0.10_qt5.amd64.tar.gz file into my "Downloads" folder. You will have to change the commands if you have the tar.gz file somewhere else or want to install it elsewhere.

To install:

cd /usr/local/bin

sudo tar --extract -f ~/Downloads/master-pdf-editor-4.0.10_qt5.amd64.tar.gz

sudo chown -R root:root master-pdf-editor-4/

To run it double click on the executable file "masterpdfeditor4" or edit your Start menu to include this app.

I can't move the file into /usr/local/bin - access denied

[Snowhog]

Download the file to your Downloads folder.

Open a konsole.

cd to /usr/local/bin

Execute the command: sudo tar --extract -f ~/Downloads/master-pdf-editor-4.0.10_qt5.amd64.tar.gz

Afterward execute the command: sudo chown -R root:root master-pdf-editor-4/

Just as Rod J indicated in his post. Gots to read to understand, and understand before attempting. Just say'n.

Thanks for helping Snowhog, much appreciated.

The editor is not showing up in muon

[Snowhog]

Because 'the older version' (not sure, but maybe any version) isn't there. As Rod J stated, you need to download the file from 'their' site.

Master pdf editor is working well, and no watermark.

I could not find an md5 or sha1 for the tar..gz file.

In the event of needing to uninstall the programme, what would be the procedure

[Rod J]

To uninstall just delete the folder containing the program. If you made an entry for it in the Start Menu just delete that too.
