Editing a PDF

edit

What is the best free software or website for Linux available which allows one to edit a 9 or 10 MB (or a 200 or 300 page) PDF file by allowing one to change the text written in that PDF file? Thank you very much. Futurist110 (talk) 08:39, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is an extension for OpenOffice that can load a PDF and there is a PDF exporter in the standard release. It works reasonably well but not without the occasional glitch. There are also numerous PDF-to-Word converters - and then you can edit in OpenOffice/LibreOffice and export to PDF. (These kinds of question usually get better answers if you ask them on the computing ref desk.) SteveBaker (talk) 15:47, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not annoyed, just wondering if their is a theme? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.59.125.124 (talk) 17:24, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The people who run WP:TFAR haven't been getting many good suggestions, so are bored. If you can come up with good suggestions of featured articles to run on upcoming dates, they would like that very much. --Jayron32 17:27, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Noticed that theme myself, and if I were in charge of choosing articles (I understand there was one admin who had the ultimate say, unless that's changed) I would do the same thing. μηδείς (talk) 02:47, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Heinz Ketchup

edit

It is my understanding that company first sold this Ketchup only on wholesale market to restuarants and some point there history expanded to the reatail market. Is this true. If so when did that change occur? 69.106.232.227 (talk) 21:29, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

According to our article they've always been serving the retail sector. Their company website seems to support this[1].Dncsky (talk) 21:43, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
