None of them are very good tbh
Why is that? It’s not like PDF’s are new. If it’s licensing are there non-legal PDF editors that work well?
Well, there’s Acrobat. I think that the issue is that PDF is a deceptively complicated format. It’s basically a programming language for describing pages to print. So it’s not like parsing a JPG or something, you need a PDF interpreter. And I imagine the Adobe one is encumbered.
I wonder the same, something od adobe? it’s the only one that works.
yeah I know I tried some of them.
Okular or Scribe
Scribus ftw!!
I don’t know what type of editing you need to do, and I haven’t used it myself, but if I’m not wrong, LibreOffice Draw can edit PDFs.
wowah! First time I heard about this! Thank you!! LibreOffice for the win!
For something like signing a pdf it was extremely painful to do natively in Linux or with any Foss tools. As of recently Firefox let’s you edit, annotate, and sign PDFs. It’s honestly one of the biggest steps towards year of the Linux desktop that I’ve seen in the last 5 years. Linux still has a ways to go but it’s getting there slowly.
Didn’t know this was even possible.
Okular. Okular all the way.
I don’t think I saw Xournal++ (AKA Xournalpp) mentioned yet, which has helped me once or twice.
If it isn’t an entire book.l, Inkscape does do PDF editing. LibreOffice Draw does as well.
For quick and dirty edits leading to rasterization of the PDF (i.e no more text fields), use can use GIMP.
How much do you need to do? PDFSAM has been very good to me if you just need basic operations.
