Hello Richard,
Personally thanking you for sharing tips to all readers. Highly appreciate.

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.
Thank You Frank,
Typo is fixed 🙂
