<br>
That's good and more important then another Linux website.<br>
<br>
A banker, a yellow press reader and a refugee have to portion 20<br>
cookies. The banker captures 19 cookies and says to the yellow press<br>
reader that he should take care, the refugee might want to steel the<br>
remaining cookie.<br>
<br>
I need to vent, it's off-topic, but I don't care, I'll include a<br>
software request ;). I'm writing applications for jobs to help refugees.<br>
Those jobs aren't full jobs, they are badly paid, impermanent,<br>
insecure, since there's no social protection. Such work be held in low<br>
esteem and a lot of people, including me, aren't allowed to upgrade<br>
one's education. Since I'm an atheist it's even hard to get such a job,<br>
requirement usually is to believe in God. Church tax in Germany is not<br>
used for social work, for this work church gets additional money,<br>
church tax is just to increase wealth of the church that isn't shared<br>
with people in need. Weapons dealers and bankers from our European<br>
countries OTOH be held in high esteem, are rolling in money, have<br>
nothing to worry, since they are living in social security, although<br>
they are responsible for the circumstances. If the weapon dealer and<br>
bankers do bad jobs, they get money from the folk to rescue them. Those<br>
who beliefe in a god should consider what kind of idiot this god must<br>
be. European politician btw. can do what they want, they get money and<br>
social security for their whole life, if they "worked" as politician<br>
for a short time. The "work" often is just to sign some attendance<br>
register from time to time.<br>
<br>
However, is there some PDF software to issue a PDF application? IOW to<br>
add a photo to the personal data sheet etc., without the need to read<br>
user manuals for hours? PDFs are requirements for applications and most<br>
of the times a mobile phone number is another requirement, landline<br>
(that's what I've got) often isn't accepted. Too funny, since many<br>
Germans dislike poor people who own mobile phones. It's a status<br>
symbol, a very strange status symbole, since it's easy to get it. For<br>
many Germans it's really a problem if refugees own mobile phones. That's<br>
strange since this is one of the few things everybody, even the poorest<br>
human easily can own in Germany. I don't have one because I dislike<br>
mobile phones, they aren't expensive, but they are an evil sign of the<br>
times.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>you can export pdf from most applications. the issue is, when one wants to edit, easily, that pdf, when, we are not promised that with the pdf format, since, it is not open, and not providing an easily editable document for anyone to edit so, what do i do? i create the item in something i prefer, like libreoffice, and save the open document there, so, i can open, edit, share, import, export.. whatever i need to do. then, when i need a pdf, i export the item, from within libreoffice, to pdf. if i need to edit the pdf, i dont.. i go back to my saved original in the open format, and export to pdf again.</div><div><br></div><div>since, im assuming these sheets are short? 1 page or 2? i would probably just copy paste the text into libreoffice, and start reformatting from scratch, saving the open format, and being able to export any revision to pdf, and edit the item as needed, in the future.</div><div><br></div><div>there is also <a href="http://askubuntu.com/questions/162037/how-to-edit-pdfs">http://askubuntu.com/questions/162037/how-to-edit-pdfs</a> , but, i have found, in the past, it can depend on how the original item was created, as to what can be edited. i find it much easier, on smaller items, such as a page or 2, to just reformat, and then i have it in the open format i prefer. i can also request a more open format from the document creator.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
