More than ever, the Adobe "[[w:Portable Document Format|Portable Document Format]]" or PDF is a critical format for communication. One feature of the format is that it bridges the world of the web with the world of print very well.
OpenOffice does output pdf, and so does KPrinter, but the PDF Toolkit offers many more features that really should be present in a GUI program like Okular (formerly Kpdf) -- which is a viewer rather than an authoring application. At least you can install the "Service Menus" into Konqueror to get some easy right-click integration. It would be interesting to use DCOP to create a simple merge GUI.
PHP developers should look at the libraries and [https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.pdf.php functions] provided there for manipulating PDF forms.
