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?
Wasn’t PDF supposed to be a read-only, print-only medium? You’re supposed to edit the source material (like a doc) and export that to PDF, not edit PDF directly.
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.
Probably the same reason it takes so long to come up with third party flash interpreters.
I mean flash isn’t exactly new, but for the longest time there was only Adobe flash.
I wonder the same, something od adobe? it’s the only one that works.
yeah I know I tried some of them.
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!
So far Draw has been the best I’ve used for this purpose
Yeah, I use LibreOffice Draw to change out text on PDFs a couple times a month at work. I’ll occasionally get some weird formatting issues or random black lines across the PDF, but usually works well enough, especially if I’m going to be printing the document out.
Okular or Scribe
Scribus ftw!!

Didn’t know this was even possible.
If it isn’t an entire book.l, Inkscape does do PDF editing. LibreOffice Draw does as well.
Okular. Okular all the way.
I don’t think I saw Xournal++ (AKA Xournalpp) mentioned yet, which has helped me once or twice.
I use master pdf editor 4. O know it is not foss, but it was the best option for linux IMO.
Wow, that is pretty nice. Thanks!
For quick and dirty edits leading to rasterization of the PDF (i.e no more text fields), use can use GIMP.
That sounds like an excellent idea. I look forward to it very much.
How much do you need to do? PDFSAM has been very good to me if you just need basic operations.
