PDF editor

Question here.  I'm doing some web design and I have to create a training page for new employees.  This involves a presentation I've created and then a test afterwards however I have to have a printable certificate that I can produce after the trainee passes the test.  I’ve found an acceptable format but it’s a PDF and every PDF editor I’ve found won’t let me save any changes I’ve made because it is copyright protected.  Does anyone know of an editor that is free that will not pose this problem or even better a certificate that is already in HTLM format?

Thanks.

just make your own certificate, dumbass.

.PDF is gay.

One word, the forced indentation of code. Thread over.

PDFs are for faggots
Stupid shit
GTFO

Why hello there, backwards-kun!

No, PDFs are backwards. They are fag shit for fags, the same kind of fags who like Vista, OSX, Apple shit and Adobe shit.

- You think it looks more professional if it's a PDF?
- You think it's better if it's a PDF?
- You think it's good to have pages in a computer screen?
- You think it's good to rape your people by not being able to do anything useful out of it?
- You think it's acceptable to include features such as disallowing copy and paste?
- You think it's acceptable to be browsing the World Wide Web using W3C standards and then have to open a XBOX HUEG, obnoxious, slow, stupid, shitty piece of propietary Adobe software to view some stupid file in a shitty, stupid propietary Adobe format?

If you answer "Yes" to these questions, congratulations, you are a professional faggot!

PDFs are superior to any office format. I despise having to open a doc, odt, ppt and so on, when I have no intension of modifying the documents.

TXT IS SUPERIOR

FoxIt > Acrobat

another question do you like zooming the text and seeing it either too small or too big ?

truth

One word, a forced cultural item. Meme over.

PDFs are worse than Office formats because they are both propietary, but you can edit, copy, get vector data and take advantage from Office formats. And of course, both PDFs and Office formats are worse than open standards.
You may be happy with shitty page layouts, shitty fonts "designers" use, reading a book on black on white (which is as if you spent hours staring to a light bulb), and not doing anything useful with your octet-streams, but I do want to do something useful with my octet-streams.

Truth, but still undesirable when you could use World Wide Web browsers to browse the World Wide Web. Is it that twisted, this idea?

No, PDF is an open-standard.
both PDFs and Office formats are worse than open standards
But PDF is an open-standard, Office formats are not.

Proper subsets of PDF have been, or are being, standardized under ISO for several constituencies:

PDF/X for the printing and graphic arts as ISO 15930 (working in ISO TC130)
PDF/A for archiving in corporate/government/library/etc environments as ISO 19005 (work done in ISO TC171)
PDF/E for exchange of engineering drawings (work done in ISO TC171)
PDF/UA for universally accessible PDF files

I recently extracted a vector map from a PDF. Although it was more of a pain than it should be, the problem lies with the lack of good quality tools, not the format.

text/plain > * > formats that i can't view in my web browser without using an xbox hueg plugin filled with XSS and buffer overflow vulnerabilities.

ur winrar

enjoy your mathematical equations written in ASCII, I enjoy my LaTeX compiled as PDF.

What was the term again... Yeah:
Fucking signed, stamped and witnessed!

>>22
pull over, clever police. it's not a term = consequential fail

>>16
No, PDF is an open-standard.
PDF is a propietary standard Adobe can change anytime.

But PDF is an open-standard, Office formats are not.
PDF is a propietary standard, just like Office. The differences are that, in favour of PDF, it's more public, and in favour of Office formats, they are not completely useless, dead data formats, so I prefer the later, although naturally I prefer truly open standards to that.

For most things, I wholeheartedly agree.

One word, the forced standard of Adobe. Thread over.

UTF-8 MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?

PDF is a propietary standard, just like Office
What kind of a fucking stupid troll are you? PDF is a fucking open and ISO standard, what more can you wish for? I'm pissed off, you're so stupid I can't believe it, don't come back until you have some arguments.

>>28
Goddammit, I hate ISO. Charging money for standards. Fucking faggots.

>>29
ISOs are free now, you're a troll, go away and stfu on your way out.

>>30
No they're not, but I see that the PDF spec is free (no thanks to ISO though). Now all we need is a good Free set of PDF tools.

>>31
no, you need a girlfriend more

>>31
Yes they are, use this thing called Google, it's a new websight for the intarweb.
Yes the spec is free, it's great isn't it? A good free set? Linux has a thousand good free sets, were you in a coma those past ten years?

>>33
Linux: Free, fast. We picked two.

No shit, you think? I have partition magic and I have Windows XP. Linux is gone and I have Opera. As for a fucking clue, no, I suppose I lack that. That's why I asked.

Use Linux
Problem Solved
