CentOS - Sep 2011 - PDF Reader/Editor for CentOS 5.7 (32 bit)?

I had, in the past, a .pdf reader that also permitted me to fill in
some information, when I received a .pdf file.

I have KPDF installed, but that seems to only have Reader capability.

Trying to install xpdf, with yum, I get this dependency error from rpmforge:
1:xpdf-3.02-8.el5.rf.i386 from rpmforge has depsolving problems
  --> Missing Dependency: libXm.so.4 is needed by package
1:xpdf-3.02-8.el5.rf.i386 (rpmforge)
Error: Missing Dependency: libXm.so.4 is needed by package 1:xpdf-3.02-8.el5.rf.

Then, if I try to yum install libXm.so.4 I get this error:
No package libXm.so.4 available.

Received a contract via email and I would like to add some information
and send it back via email.

If someone can recommend a Package that I can install, that will be
appreciated. Hopefully, something as easy to use as what I had before.
It just worked.  :-) Unfortunately, I cannot remember which package it
was. :-)

TIA! Lanny

Possibly evince, which may already be installed.

libXm.so.4 is provided by package openmotif, which is present in C5 for 
x86_64. Can't see it in the i386 repo. Looks like something is broken 
for 5.7/base i386?
The i386 version of the package is present in the x86_64 repo though...
So you can get it from there.
You can even get a newer version than the one included in 5.7/base, by 
going to 5.6/updates in the vault. I guess this one will end up in 
5.6/updates at some point.

For your purpose though, I'm not sure xpdf can edit pdfs. When I have to 
do that I use AdobeReader from the adobe site.

"libXm.so.4" is a dependency; not a package name.

# yum whatprovides \*libXm.so\*
...
openmotif22-2.2.3-18.i386 : Open Motif runtime libraries and executables
Repo??????? : base
Matched from:
Filename??? : /usr/lib/libXm.so.3
Filename??? : /usr/lib/libXm.so.3.0.2
Other?????? : libXm.so.3

So apparently no "libXm.so.4" in base, repoforge or elrepo...
You could ask in the repoforge mailing list.

THANK YOU, to each of you who replied, and for the information you provided!

Evince Document Viewer cannot do form filling.
KPDF (based on xpdf) cannot do form filling.
KGhostView cannot do form filling.

I installed pdfedit, a pdf editor, which can do it. This is not what I
used before, which apparently was a pdf reader with form filling
ability, but, this works.  :-)

Probably a PDF Editor is not what I was looking for, but a PDF Form
Filler is it.

Adobe Reader I would gladly install, if I knew the proper yum command.
I have the Adobe Repository installed, but so far, no joy, getting yum
to install it.  :-)
