Unexpectedly fantastic news! My wife makes extensive use of the adobe PDF editing tools, which is has been a major blocker for getting her onto linux. What is a good replacement that works on windows and linux? Non-free is fine.
- bonestamp2 2y agoI can't answer windows/linux, but I use pdfexpert.com for mac and it's great. It was a one time $100 charge when I bought it several years ago, and it gets updated regularly.
- zamalek 2y agoThanks, but I'm more likely to use Windows or even TempleOS over MacOS.
- politelemon 2y agoHave a look at Qoppa, Master Pdf Editor, and Xournal.
- anthk 2y agoPDF was not created to be edited, but as a final output format ready to be printed as-is. OTOH, XournalPP has basic editing tools. So does LibreOffice.
- freedomben 2y agoXournal++ is my go to. It has a few quirks to get used to, but once you do it's quite functional. Biggest thing to watch out for is exporting and overwriting the source file. It will usually let you, but it often blanks out the source and loses your changes. So just make sure to export with a different filename than the original is. If you accept the default suggestion, it will work fine. It's also made to be used well with wacom tablets, so if you have one of those you can make use of it in xournal++. The older "Xournal" (no ++) is mostly functional but also dead, so I would go with Xournal++.
