| kirstenvorket | hi | 11:00 |
| diogenes_ | hi | 11:01 |
| kirstenvorket | im looking for a pdf program to trim pdf files, several pages at once. On my old notebook I had a very useful one: It would allow me to see the pdf file and with the mouse to trim the margins I dont need, then save | 11:01 |
| kirstenvorket | sadly , I dont remember its name | 11:01 |
| kirstenvorket | can you help me? | 11:01 |
| kirstenvorket | this was on a xubuntu 17.10 | 11:01 |
| diogenes_ | kirstenvorket, https://itsfoss.com/pdf-editors-linux/ | 11:03 |
| kirstenvorket | diogenes_, I have alredy googled, Im asking here because I didnt find it surfing | 11:08 |
| kirstenvorket | right | 11:27 |
| kirstenvorket | when you find a tar.gz you want to install, in what directory do you install it? | 11:28 |
| kirstenvorket | there should be a default directory for new programs | 11:28 |
| Spass | hello kirstenvorket, what program do you want to install? are you sure it isn't in the repos? maybe there's a DEB package for it, or PPA repo, or AppImage for example. | 11:37 |
| kirstenvorket | Spass, pdfcrop from http://pdfcrop.sourceforge.net/ and no, no in the repos, no deb | 11:38 |
| kirstenvorket | no ppa either | 11:38 |
| Spass | yeah, I see it's an old program with only tar.gz available, from what I can see you just extract the files and copy them to the ~/.bin/pdfcrop folder | 11:42 |
| Spass | making sure "pdfcrop" script is executable | 11:43 |
| Spass | sorry, pdfcrop copy to ~/.bin/ folder | 11:43 |
| Spass | I'm just reading the description from here - https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcrop/files/pdfcrop/PDFCrop%20v0.4b/ | 11:44 |
| kirstenvorket | Spass, do I create a .bin if I dont have any? | 11:47 |
| gnrp | kirstenvorket: Create it. You also have to add it to your path then if it is not in it yet | 12:11 |
| Spass | sorry I was AFK, what gnrp said | 12:16 |
| kirstenvorket | i have to go but ill be back, bacause im not over with this issue | 12:17 |
| kirstenvorket | bbl | 12:17 |
| Spass | and I think ~/.bin is added as $PATH by default in Xubuntu, at least that's what I see in my ~/.profile | 12:19 |
| Spass | if ~/bin = ~/.bin | 12:19 |

| maia | like, left click opens a new browser window, or does nothing | 21:18 |
| gnrp | maia: Did you try xinput to see what is actually sent? | 21:39 |
