Hi,

I can suggest following software:
pdfedit: PDFedit - pdf manipulating library, GUI, tools (there are pdfedit versions for older opensuse versions)
pdftk + pdftk-qgui: you can install it from the Packman repository.

Good luck

Michael

I have to agree. I've been using pdfedit since 2008. See below:

About project

PDFedit is free and open source library for manipulating PDF documents, released under terms of GNU GPL version 2. It includes PDF manipulating library based on xpdf, GUI and set of command line tools.

Library

Multiplatform library working on Unix systems, Windows32/64 and also Windows CE and others. You can use it to read, change and extract information from a PDF file. It is based on xpdf library.
Ongoing activity: reimplementing of operators, adding more tools, fixing bugs

Tools

Tools include example usage of the library which proved to be useful.
Ongoing activity: adding tools on the fly mostly for easier bug fixing

GUI

Graphical interface based on QT3.x which heavily depends on scripting; therefore, any user can modify the behaviour by scripts and plugins.
Ongoing activity: porting to QT4, fixing bugs

Please refer: PDFedit - pdf manipulating library, GUI, tools

Remember to have fun!
