I am also a pdf-shuffler and I really like it. I used to scan all of my bills, financial, and other interests of monthly use. Pdf files used to drive me up the walls, but pdf-shuffler has sure made life a lot easier. Excellent comment about being able to use Open Office for pdf files as well. I did not know OO could do that. For now pdf-shuffer is what I am going to use. It's the cats meow.

I used pdf-shuffler to insert some requisite electronic forms into my thesis when I submitted it to the graduate school. It worked beautifully!

I was curious whether I could do the same with OOo 3.0, but when I tried opening my thesis pdf from Draw, it launched an instance of Writer instead, filled with page upon page of junk characters.

I personally don’t care about learning every single thing about linux. Thanks to the help of the amazing community in the open-source movement- those like Bigbrovar here- I can do my job and do it well. If everyone was a programmer, we’d have few doctors, biologists or even the guys on the assembly line building your hardware. Speaking of lazy minds, I’d like to see you match my rotting noggin on pretty much any subject in the fundamental sciences.

Dayo – You aren’t obviously in his shoes so to speak. While advocating for the command line can be worthwhile, it’s not the battle he’s chosen to start with. Getting them using FOSS software is a big enough chore without demanding they learn the command line simultaneously. If you want to accomplish something, it’s got to be in doable size chunks

My apologies, I meant to say “Logging jobs, making calendar appointments, creating photo’s etc in day-to-day work are not feasible on cli.”

I believe you are complete and utter tool yourself, Dayo. And not one of any use. Your commentary is in no way helpful and just pure derogatory. I use the cli all the time, but gui’s have their place for people, as Bigbrover pointed out, who want to get work done with the minimal amount of training. And in this day and age training user’s in even the basics can take an extraordinary amount of time. Give them the gui-app, let them do what they need to do, and then go home. Logging jobs, making calendar appointments, creating photo’s etc are not feasible in day-to-day work, most especially on cli.

So pull your head in, wanker.

Well, it appears that bigbrovar likes to avoid the command-line

Looks like all you’re providing is gui and eyecandy. You don’t even respect your users enough to trust them with the commmand-line. Truly sad.
