From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've found the best tool for carving up PDFs is xournal++. It does a better job at maintaining formatting than Draw as well.
Thanks, I'll definitely try it out.
That's a pretty good one, hadn't heard about it until you mentioned it. xournal++ is great at marking up PDF files and was able to keep the layout formatting intact with my janky test PDF (a sad document that must have been print-to-pdf'd multiple times under Windows).
I also like that it's easy to use and has just about every markup tool you'd want, all the stuff that Firefox is missing.
Only thing missing is that it doesn't have the advanced .pdf export options that the other tools have, but that's kind of minor.. figure I could open/re-export the marked up .pdf in another application if I really want to configure any advanced .pdf options for the final document.
