SYNOPSIS

7     flpsed [-bdh] [-t tag=value] [-z zoom] [infile] [outfile]
8

DESCRIPTION

10     The flpsed utility allows to annotate Postscript files.  PDF files can be
11     imported using the pdftops and exported using the ps2pdf utility.  If the
12     document was saved in Postscript format, added text can be reedited
13     later.  flpsed is useful for filling in forms or adding short comments.
14     Batch mode can be used to automate form filling.
15
16     The options are as follows:
17
18     -b      Batch mode (no GUI). In batch mode flpsed reads from stdin, if no
19             infile is specified. Batch mode is useful in combination with the
20             file ... -t option.
21
22     -d      Dump tags and values from a document to stdout (implies -b ).
23
24     -h      Show short help text.
25
26     -t tag=value
27             Set text to value where tag is tag Multiple -t options are
28             allowed.
29
