If you don’t want to compile, you can install it easily from Ubuntu repositories,
sudo apt-get install pdfedit

If you insist on compiling, you can get the source files , Here.
Now you need to extract your compressed file, in my case :
tar -xzvf pdfedit-0.4.1.tar.gz
You also need the following packages, qt3-dev-tools, build-essential, boost-build, libboost-thread-dev , libboost-thread1.34.1 , libboost-iostreams1.34.1 and libboost-iostreams-dev , on Ubuntu you can run :
sudo apt-get install build-essential boost-build libboost-thread-dev libboost-thread1.34.1 libboost-iostreams1.34.1 libboost-iostreams-dev qt3-dev-tools
Now you need to set the QTDIR, which is the qt3 directory, if you are using Ubuntu you it is usually on /usr/share/qt3, so :
export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
Now all what you need to do is to go into your extraction folder and run the configuring script :
./configure
If you followed all of the above steps this should run smoothly. To install run :
make install

ENJOY!
