[Techtalk] editing a .ps or .pdf

[Finne Boonen]

the solution I ended up using was googles html version of pdf's
there's plenty software for windows for editing pdfs (appart from
acrobat suite).
However, most programs don't make editing very easy, basically if you
change more then a few letters per sentece the layout is completely
screwed up.
