flpsed - a Postscript and PDF annotator
Screenshot

Description
flpsed is a WYSIWYG PostScript annotator.
You can't remove or modify existing elements of a document.
But flpsed lets you add arbitrary text lines to existing
PostScript documents (PostScript is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated).
Added lines can later be reedited with flpsed.
Using pdftops, which is part of xpdf
one can convert PDF documents to PostScript and also add text to them.
flpsed is useful for filling in forms, adding notes etc.
GsWidget is now part of flpsed.
flpsed is released under the GPL.

Instructions
Features
- Add arbitrary text to existing PostScript documents.
- Reedit text, that has been added with flpsed.
- The overall structure of the PostScript document is not
modified. flpsed only adds the additional text.
- Batch processing (no X11 required) to modify tagged text lines
that have been entered interactively with flpsed before. This is
very useful for repeatedly filling in forms.
- Text lines can be imported from other flpsed-modified documents.
- Import and export PDF. Therefore it can be used as a PDF editor as well.
