Add pdf as page in document

Is there a way to put a pdf form into a page of a newletter? I know you
can create one, but this form was sent to me to be included in the
newsletter so people can fill it in and then print it for mailing.

Your best bet would be to convert your newsletter to a PDF first. Then,
insert the form into the PDF using PDF authoring software like Adobe
Acrobat. That's what I would do.

This will not work. First I use Linux, Second I cannot afford Adobe
Acrobat which to the best of my knowledge does not have a Linux version.
I can create pdf's from LibreOffice and Scribus. I have not had time to
try this in Scribus, it is supposed to import pdf's, but latest update
gives error on trying to open pdf. Need to report bug.

Thanks for your reply anyway.

In order to get bulletin out I just recreated the whole document as a
pdf form in LibreOffice and then save whol bulletin as pdf. Alot of
extra work.

I use Linux [Ubuntu 10.04] and there are several free PDF editing packages for Linux. One should do what you want.

You also can print PDF through the CUPS-PDF driver. So any package that prints, like Firefox or Thunderbird, can have its output in a PDF format.

I am positive that there is a PDF-merge package that you can print out PDF from several packages and merge them into one PDF document. I did this myself in 2010 a few times, but I do not remember what the package was called, but it was in the repository.

There are different pdf merge utilities in the Ubuntu Software Center. thank you Webmaster. There are times I could really use something like that, and never thought to check for one!!!!!!

Since I'm using openSUSE I will check repos for packages like you
mentioned. I have tried pdfedit but it did not work, probably me, but I
needed to get my bulletin out so I created in libroffice, then I save
the whole bulletin as a pdf. Worked fine.

Thanks for all the inputs.

Hi. pdfsplit and pdfjoin for linux would allow you to insert a page in a pdf.

Hi:

  There are some programs to manage .pdf format documents,... like
PDF-Shuffler, PDF Chain and others that you can find for it. If you you
use Ubuntu, Open Suse or similar flavors of GNU/Linux you can find those
programs in the Install Program repositories.

file-->open and selected the document and file type as .pdf.

It opens the pdf in draw instead of the select document page in
writer. I know I save it as an image and insert it but then the
users will not beable to use it.

Thanks for any ideas.

First thanks for all the idea's. I found that posofo tools had a tool to
do exactly what I wanted. i saved my bulletin as a PDf, then used the
tool /usr/bin/podofomerge to merge them.

Thanks for all the help.
