Highly disappointed there was no mention of the pain of annotating PDFs. The only way I've been able to reliably annotate a PDF with writing that I've downloaded on Linux is to use WINE or install a bunch of KDE dependencies just for Okular. PDF is a document format intended for consumption but so many institutions insist om giving you a PDF with no form elements and expect you to edit it and send it back. A web-based solution that would have a form that autogenerates the finished PDF would work so much more, but PDF is apparently easier for them to send and expect back an answer. As a result I dread PDF when using it as a format that's intended to be edited. I feel like this is a misuse of what PDF is supposed to be, as people believe that since it looks like printed paper then you ought to be able to write on it like printed paper.
