G'day,

I have not used SUSE but I might recommend looking in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin for binaries looking like te_pdf etc.

Are these package names above in your list? If so perhaps you can use SUSE programs to show the contents of them which should give you the paths to the binaries.

Hope this helps, Dave.

You can use the locate command.
If you installed using rpm you can query it so check where the files are installed.
Looking at your apropos output, most of them are add-on modules for other packages like Perl.
btw, you can use the ReportLab module to create pdf's in Python or if you're not programming it, you can use OpenOffice.

ImageMagick is a set of multiple binaries.

If you call

man ImageMagick

, you'll find related programs close to the end of the page in the section 'See also'.
To find out, where they're installed, use whereis:

whereis convert

for example.

Running `find` and dumping to /tmp/junk and `vi` /tmp/junk file, I was able to patiently peruse through the file and found a bunch of them within the /usr/bin directory.

I searched for "pdf". Thank you all for respoinding!
