PDF

PDF split and merge

PDF Split and merge, also know as 'pdfsam' is very useful! Unfortunately, you have to install it manually...

Requirement: Java JVM

1. Download the latest PDFSam version, see http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfsam/files/pdfsam/

... You must take the pdfsam-XXX-out.zip file

1. Just run the .jar file

java -jar pdfsam-XXX.jar

Cliparts

Nowdays you don't need to install it. Just use Google images instead!

Only install that package if you absolutely need to:

apt-get install openclipart-libreoffice openclipart2-libreoffice

!! Careful !! Total is about 760 Mb ! Just install the first package = 160Mb to get some cliparts.
