For me this is another example of why, all things said and done, we need free software for image processing and for final-form document processing - not Photoshop and Acrobat. For Acrobat, at least, a combination of tool sorta-kinda-mostly gets the job done; look at Xournal++, qpdf, and the various PDF printers (gradually being superseded by library-based PDF export filters). For image processing, we have simple programs like Paint.Net or Krita, and we have GIMP - which is quite featureful but I don't know if it's a "match" for Photoshop.
