I'm looking for an application that will give me some advanced tools for editing PDFs.
Here are the features I'm looking for:
Editing metadata (tagging with keywords)
Merge multiple PDFs
Rearrange page order
PDF bookmarking
Optical Character Recognition
I can give further clarification on these items if needed. My goal is to convert all of my paper files into digital files that I can store on my server. In order to effectively do this, I need the tools listed above.
Is there anything in the linux world that will give me these PDF editing abilities?
I want to create retrievable archives of a my old emails say monthly to avoid the old emails running me out of memory. If I use the 'Backup Settings' procedure as explained in Evolution Help what happens when I wish to consult the /home/dbus/evolution-backup.tar.gz archive file?
1- Will it simply over-write my current Evolution data? [in which case its not what I need] 2- If not, how do I return the archive file to dead storeage and resuscitate my current data? 3- If it will overwrite using the 'Restore Evolution' procedure given in Evolution Help is there a workaround ... perhaps by ... 3a- renaming the archive file, 3b- or 'restoring' it in another version of Evolution, 3c- or archiving CURRENT data as a 2nd backup with a different name [eg: /home/dbus/evolution-backupJan11.tar.gz?] then restoring that? 4- Will I be able to retrieve successive archives if I rename them, say '/home/dbus/evolution-backup.tarDec10.gz' etc once Evolution's saved them?
Alternatively the following came from a dead thread [from commonlyUNIQU3 ] ... is it still valid? does it avoid the problem of potentially running out of memory? A. Make a subfolder to the "Inbox" under the "On This Computer" tree (I call mine "Archive") B. Drag and drop the emails you want to archive into this folder.*
This will move the selected emails off of your Exchange server/account and into this folder (and into local storage) - unless you do a copy & paste instead of drag & drop. You may need to have the setting for downloading emails for offline access enabled for this to work as desired. If I recall, the new integrated backup feature creates a compressed (.zip) archive from which you can later restore the email (haven't tried that just yet).
I'm relatively new to Linux in general but have learned to do the basics with the CLI.
Well my main problem is writing my first "real" script in VIM. I just have no idea where to start. I was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction.
Well this is what the script needs to do.
"As the IT administrator for a large manufacturing company you have been tasked with producing a script for archiving the daily log files. Each week the daily log files are placed in a directory named weekXX, where XX is the number of the week. Each week directory should be archived and compressed and stored in a folder called log_directories. When the script has completed the task it should display on the monitor exactly what files and directories it has archived.
The script should be started by a user with the required week numbers added as arguments (e.g prog 13 14 15 should start the program and archive the daily log files in week13, week14 and week15).
A basic manual is required, showing how to start the program, the hardware and / or software requirements, a hard copy of the script and a brief description of the test strategy and test data."
I need to tar this logs, but i dont how to make it simplier to me. Everyday there are created this five logs. I need to make five tar files from every day from this files at the end of the month
For example
Till now i have tar it manualy (copied every file)
I started unarchiving a RAR file that this several gigabytes big. The computer is now going really slow, it's almost frozen. Sometimes I can move the mouse a little, but that's it. The unarchiving process seems to have halted, so now all I can do is restart the system. I don't think I can unarchive this file in Linux.
I'm trying to zip or rar >100000 files into a single file so that I can upload it to my server much faster than ftp downloaded it. Total they're all only 4gb, but because of the number of files Nautilus freezes just opening the folder they're in. They're all .jpgs and all in the same folder and I've tried a few commands but I keep getting error messages.
Anyone have a command that will archive all the files from a folder into a single zip (or rar, tar etc)? I can't just archive the folder because then I would have to move all the files out of that folder and just opening the folder to move them would crash it, and I don't have ssh into that server.
I need to back up a fold on a remote machine to my local box; the remote hd does not have enough space archive it, neither does my local box. I know there's a cantrip to pipe scp through gzip (or similar), but I don't remember the syntax.
I have a script which periodically backs up a directory using the command "tar -czvf [name] [directory]" but my problem is that the script has recently been putting a lot of stress on the server (Minecraft SMP) and tends to lag players as it backs up, which recently has been taking nearly 5 minutes.So I need to know if there's a way to control the GZip compression rate at the same time that it archives and backs up the files?I understand that I can first tar the files and then GZip them separately with a different compression rate afterwards, but this would not work because it names the files with the current server time, which sometimes changes in between commands.
I have an old laptop that I installed EasyPeasy Lucid on. I have never used Grub2 as my other Ubuntu installs still use Grub Legacy. I have studied all the tutorials which instruct that the grub.cfg file should not be edited directly.This old laptop has one of the dreaded Intel graphics chips for which the kernel automatically loads the i915 module. Of course (like a multitude of others with Intel graphics and Lucid) I booted into a black screen but knew the workaround was to enable mode setting through grubI used the
Code: i915.modeset=1 and added it to /etc/default/grub line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, just after "quite splash", just
I sometimes get confused by the varying command line options I need to run common Unix archiving and compression software (e.g. gzip, bzip2, zip, tar).
Is there a program out there that can just Do What I Mean for common cases? For example:
At my work place, my colleagues or I create/start bunch of small projects.
Each of these small projects contain some document (pdf, word and etc.) and/or different types of documents.
I am looking for a simple software (preferred GPL) which can be run on Linux and/or Windows and can manage to maintain those small projects.
It can be a web based software, which would assign an unique number to the each new created project and then would create the necessary links, which would point to the necessary documents, as I mentioned above.
I'm looking for ... or will develop if I cannot find any ... software that can keep archives of a tree of files. The tree of files is on a computer dedicated to backups. Various servers and desktop users periodically run rsync to update their slice of that tree of files. But that means old files are replaced. What I want to do is keep the old files around, with some limitations (such as a finite number of versions, finite age, etc). This would be similar to a repository like Subversion, except that data only comes in (there are no checkouts, though obviously a restore mechanism is needed). It would be like rolling backups, except the "rollover" would be on a per-file basis.
What I currently do, but want to get away from, is making a hardlink replica tree every few days with a command like "cp -al synctree/. archtree-for-today". But that eats up inodes very rapidly and is much harder to find things in. Making a file listing is very much slower this way, too.
If I log in to my Ubuntu One page on Windows, the name at the top right-had side of the page is different to my Account name. How do I change this? (My Account name is correct, the name on the web page is wrong)
This is the problem: how can you edit a DVD into a new DVD, either selecting chapters and removing chapters, and then compiling them into a new DVD?
The structure of the DVD is mentioned without detail in this link:
DVD File structure basics

There is also some information on the IFO file here:

[url]
The DVD would have some format similar to:
Quote:
The problem is that when playing the DVD on a DVD player, it presents a menu with many chapters/titles to select from but Linux does not seem to display the menu in Totem or Mplayer. And looking at the files with "ls", you can not see what chapters/titles there are. That information is in the IFO files?
The above DVD file structure, has 14 chapters/titles. I would like to be able to get the video and audio from a few selected chapters/titles, and then make a new DVD. The problem is extracting the video and audio from the VOB file using the information in the IFO file. Once I have the video/audio then I can make a new DVD with it. What Linux software tools will allow me to do this? Or, what script will allow me to do this?
I searched the Internet for software that is compatible with Linux and is capable of editing PDF documents. This is not counting anything that doesn't allow PDF as both an input and output. Also not counting anything that imports a PDF into some sort of image file, whereupon it loses all track of textual content. Found a grand total of one product, PDF Edit.
Installed PDF Edit. Easy. Tried just using it without reading instructions. Not intuitive. Googled and followed the instructions to edit my document. Not happening. Says my document is read only which it's not. Says it's linearized. Maybe so, but Acrobat never complained. Researched some more. Must de-linearize. Did that. Now technically I can edit the text content fields of the document but when I try that, the changes don't appear on the screen. All I really want is to place some annotation text boxes in my document, type information into them so it looks right on the screen, save and print it. Gave up on PDF Edit.Also attempted Acrobat 8, Acrobat 9, Nuance PDF Converter 4, and PDFill PDF Editor, in Wine, each attempt a similar nightmare.Will some kind soul suggest something, or show me the error of my ways? I really like Fedora and it seems a shame to scurry back to XP for this minor task.
think of this directory as the current structure..
Quote: |-- test | `-- test1 `-- test.tar
test.tar is a compressed tar of /test/ (cvfz), now... I need to add another file called test2 to test.tar, WITHIN the test directory in the tar. Is this possible?
I have a list of millions of filename in form of say "drau3DDFEA5E01205841DC1B277A". I need it convert it intousr/local/data/d/dr/dra/drau/drau3DDFEA5E01205841DC1B277AI believe that can be achieved by awk or sed.
I have a AsteriskNow Linux box and i wanted to add another network card, i have done this and it has loaded the drivers... I have found out that second cards need to be enabled... if i type ifcfg eth1 it shows me the card.... and I need to edit that device with BOOTON selected to ON to enable it.
I have two questions:
A) what is the comand to edit the ifcfg eth-1 card, Apparently i use a text editor but how ? i know what to do once in but can't get in...
B) is there a list of very common linux commands i cuold use to start me off on my linux journey ?
I had/have an old program which works on XP called PaperPort. It allows me to edit and fill in blank forms. I have been searching for something like that for Linux, and to date found nothing, Chances are that I am looking in the wrong places.
I'm looking for some simple to use photo editing software for KDE. I don't really need the GIMP. I just want to do some simple auto-enhancement, rotating, and resizing. Pretty simple stuff. I'm trying to install Shotwell right now. I've used it on Gnome installs, (Ubuntu refugee), but I was wondering if there is a similar native KDE application.
Please help me save my marriage.I talked my wife into using linux awhile back with no problems, but now she has gotten into scrapbooking and wants a easy to use program to add boarders (lots to choose from, I have tried fotowell) and of course general editing. She tried Gimp but it is more than what she is looking for.
I am doing a Linux installation. I installed the system fine and am trying to change the vi /etc/hosts file. I have edited the file but am not sure how to save it. I have --INSERT-- showing at the bottom.
I have grub 1.97 on carmic , with too many items in it. Start up manager , great for hardy and jaunty , is not working. What is the best way to remove unneeded items and change wait time for grub ?
