NAME

       flpsed — annotate PostScript and PDF files

SYNOPSIS

       flpsed [-bdh] [-t tag=value] [-z zoom] [infile] [outfile]

DESCRIPTION

       The  flpsed utility allows to annotate Postscript files.  PDF files can be imported using the pdftops and
       exported using the ps2pdf utility.  If the document was saved in Postscript format,  added  text  can  be
       reedited  later.  flpsed is useful for filling in forms or adding short comments.  Batch mode can be used
       to automate form filling.

       The options are as follows:

       -b      Batch mode (no GUI). In batch mode flpsed reads from stdin, if no infile is specified. Batch mode
               is useful in combination with the file ... -t option.

       -d      Dump tags and values from a document to stdout (implies -b ).

       -h      Show short help text.

       -t tag=value
               Set text to value where tag is tag Multiple -t options are allowed.

       -z zoom
               Set initial zoom value in percent.

       -geometry WxH+X+Y
               Set initial geometry.

       -iconic
               Start iconified.

       -scheme string

       The flpsed utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
