I’m looking for a full PDF editor for use on Linux. Foxit, Qoppa… can’t find anything on TPB, AllPCWorld or 4mirrorlink. Even looked on Milkie and saw a link for Qoppa PDF, but no one is seeding it.

Anyone have any ideas?

    LibreDraw is pretty good at opening PDFs. It’s one way it’s better than Inkscape. PDFArranger is good for adding and removing pages.

    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.

    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 This was a while ago I used it, so my info may be slightly out of date.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

    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.
