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
             Use fltk scheme string Currently fltk supports "plastic" and
             "gtk+".

EXIT STATUS

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