Any recommendations for a PDF editor? I’ve been using LibreOffice Draw, but it doesn’t seem to preserve all the formatting/positioning.

Edit: Some features I’m looking for:

  • The ability to highlight and/or redact text
  • The ability to add/remove pages
  • It would also be nice to be able add signatures.

    To the best of my knowledge, there isn’t a good FOSS PDF editor.

    There’s LibreOffice Draw, but as you said, it messes up the formatting. There’s also Inkscape, but good luck if you have pages of text. You can also try Scribus, but I wouldn’t say it’s good (or intuitive).

    If all you want to do is write over a PDF, put (not edit, nor remove) text, formulae, or images, then Xournal++ is very decent.

    If I need to edit a PDF, I use (*gags*) Adobe Acrobat running in Wine (with Lutris is very easy). It’s as proprietary and evil as it can be, but it’s good at editing PDFs.
