  This worked for me, as well.
  
  Also… there’s a typo here:
  
  Download and Install pdfedit
  
  wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pdfedit/pdfedit_0.4.5-2_amd64.deb
  sudo dpkg -i
  
  That last line should read:
  
  sudo dpkg -i pdfedit_0.4.5-2_amd64.deb
  
  Thanks to both of you for de-tangling this mess.
