Please tell me one software, only one, in graphic mode (kde gnome xfce and anything) for modify pdf files. With left click too. I don't know. This software is not for you only, but for all. I'm not use embedded system, then emdebian is useless for me .... no, this is not correct for me. I can't know what you spek. Debian is not only gnome or left click.

You load a program? Which program? in console mode? ok You make flamewars about gnome vs kde. why? I use both desktop env. If you not like kde not use kde but not tell me wich you don't like right click etc. I'm not interessed about this. this package is not for gnome at this moment. > > > In graphic mode there are zero option for work with pdf > > I've had no problems so far but there you go You haved no problem because you not work with pdf in graphic mode. :-) > . > > > > In which case, pdftk and pdfjam can also include desktop files for > > > nautilus at a later stage. > > > > Following your way, is "nautilus-actions-misc.deb" wrong? > > For "fundamental" actions that all users will need it would be OK - > having said that, I don't have it installed and haven't missed it yet. > > :-) > : > > ok, so in conclusion, I can change the name of the package, but I'll > > not find any sponsor?
