LibreDraw is pretty good at opening PDFs. It's one way it's better than Inkscape. PDFArranger is good for adding and removing pages.
I need to edit and annotate PDFs.
Just in case it’s not clear from the replies - you can edit pdfs in libre office draw. Text, images, arangements, whatever. It’s all editable.
Well you could do it with LibreDraw. But it depends on how much editing you want to do.
For just annotating : https://itsfoss.com/annotate-pdf-linux/
To be honest, I just do LibreDraw or PDFArranger, but I'm either adding/removing pages, or doing more editing than annotating.
Sterling PDF
Ohhhh, this looks promising!
I can't find that one anywhere either. Thanks for the idea though.
PDF4QT, bit of a newcomer, but its a free and foss pdf editor with the capabilities of propriatery equivalents: https://jakubmelka.github.io/
Xournal++ also works well if you want to annotate PDFs. You can't edit text that's already there, but you can hide text with white rectangles and then write on top of them.
I use Zotero for reading and annotating, Master Pdf Editor for editing. There is full version of Master on Aur.
By the way give a chance to Zotero. It can annotate and extract annotations as markdown.
aur like the arch repo?
The free version of MasterPDF (as available via AUR) is fully functional, but it will add watermark if you modify any PDF page contents (and maybe other conditions).
MasterPDF Editor is quite good. In the past I found the windows keygen works with linux version. You have to block it from accessing internet though, or it will phone home to verify. This was a while ago I used it, so my info may be slightly out of date. Here's one way to block it from having internet access, start with this command: bwrap --bind / / --unshare-net masterpdfeditor5
I think latest Onlyoffice now supports pdf edition
If you don't need to edit the text that is in the PDF you could use GIMP. Ie, making lines or adding new text, or adding images.
Libredraw is probably the best pdf editor, but has some issues when I last used it ages ago so hopefully it's better now.
If you can figure Wine out you could use PDF XChange Editor.
