I am a long time Linux desktop user (20+ years) but am still forced to keep a copy of windows around to use Adobe Acrobat for filling and signing forms. I have tried various Linux pdf applications (including commercial ones), using Adobe Acrobat via wine/crossover but haven't found a solution that works across the board. That is the only holdout from not having to interact with windows/mac.
- vorpalhex 4y agoSejda pdf works well enough for me.
- cam_l 4y agoEven if you are using windows, there is no reason to subject yourself to the bin fire that is Acrobat. Literally[0] every single other PDF program is better, faster, cheaper, easier to use than acrobat. Plus many of them don't randomly crash and burn half your CPU usage until you kill them like acrobat does. [0] No, clearly I haven't actually tried all them, don't be so pedantic.
- Galanwe 4y agoReading PDFs is no problem, I use `evince` since ~15 years and it does the job. I _very_ regularly have to sign documents though, and as OP said, nothing beats Adobe for that. I even pay the subscription so that I can have it on my phone, sign on the go, etc.

- colordrops 4y agoI've used Xournal to fill out PDFs on Linux.
- worble 4y agoHave you tried HelloSign? I just use that whenever I get something that needs signing.
- dingdingdang 4y agoI use Okular for work, first on Linux for a long time and now on Windows, works superbly for signing/annotating PDFs and can be installed via package manager on either system (APT or Winget)
