[Techtalk] PDFedit is so slow...

[Linda Pahdoco]

Hi Emma.

I haven't used PDFedit.  Most of my programs have a print to pdf option.

Perhaps if you're starting from scratch you could create your document in
something else (Open Office) then redirect the output?  I know that's not
much help if you're trying to just edit a pre-existing pdf.
