I have made a writing in a text.txt file on my EOS KDE with Kate, and I have to print it in a copy shop because I don’t have a printer.
I don’t know how I should send the writing to be printed, I guess in a .pdf file, as I think the .txt file will not be printable.
I use Mozilla firefox to edit and save changes in PDF files, no problem with this. But Mozilla Firefox won’t let me create .pdf files from to put my writing.
I can also try to find a pdf file on google and try to edit it, but it doesn’t seem like a good idea.
Which app to create and edit pdf files do you recommend?
Did you try to print from Kate? Press CTRL-P and print to a file (PDF). I’m not sure if that is enabled if you don’t already have a printer installed, but it’s worth a try.
Great to hear that Ctl+P now hits your immediate need. But just a suggestion… if you don’t already have LibreOffice installed, you’re likely missing out on one of the best FOSS gems out there. Take a look sometime.
You can even edit PDFs in LO Draw. With draw and pdfsam, you can do every useful pdf operation. Unless they’re some government forms, they made Adobe Acrobat standard in Romania.
The “fresh” version is the more current release with newest features/fixes … but may have glitches not fully identified yet. My sense is that it is much more scrubbed than a typical “beta” release of software given how many eyes and hands are on it.
The “still” version is more like the LTS (long term stable) in the kernel world.
Frankly, I’ve always kept my yay updates focused on keeping up with the “fresh” version and have never encountered any issues whatsoever.
Hate to say the name that shall not be said, but libreoffice is essentially a replacement in the linux world for the entire Microsoft Office suite (word, excel, db, powerpoint) . You can even load and save libreoffice files in MS formats of various types so you’ll be interoperable with the ludites on Windows.
You can avoid such bugs or uncertainties by using an app that was actually made for stuff like this. → LibreOffice
Everything that @ArchieLinux said is very much accurate, and it only takes up 412 MB of space.
There’s also AbiWord, which is just a word app, but I don’t know if it has this function.
And if space is your concern, then you can learn to convert most text-based files on the command line by using Pandoc. It’s probably less than 10 MB with all its dependencies combined.
