    "Does it do PDFs as on Windows?"
If you mean, edit the PDF as a text file, leaving the encoded elements 
as is, the response is yes.
 
For any Debian-based system, the method to install is to open a shell in 
a terminal and enter the command,
    * sudo apt-get install vim-gtk3 (vim-gui-common)
Or look for the vim-gtk3 package from within Synaptic, and install that 
way.

Hi
 
thanks both Eric and Marco
 
Eric, in Windows Vim on a PDF preprocesses the file using PdfTk,, and 
restores the compression afterwards, likewise. This shows the content 
streams as clear text. I suspect that PdfTk doesn't work on Linux?
 
The post processing sorts out the length attributes that the compression 
and edits have changed.
 
regards - Chris
