- How to Edit PDFs? 13 answers
I know that there is a very similar question, but I'm not interested in highlighting. What I'm looking for is some tool in Linux to edit pdf files. I've tried pdfedit which did the work for me, but if freezes after a few edits. I've tried this tool under Ubuntu 9.10 and under KDE Fedora 14 and the same thing happens. I've tried Okular but the notations are too big to fill out exercises from pdf workbooks.
Is there any tool that suits this job? I don't care whether it is open source or I have to pay a reasonable price for it.

For PDF editing I have used a PDF Annotator flpsed. You are able to save edited files in postscript format or in PDF.
Option 1:
- Use calibre to convert the pdf file to rtf.
- Open the rtf file in OpenOffice.
- Make changes and then create a pdf out of it.
Option 2:
- PDF Studio is a complete PDF editor.But you have to pay for the developers as it is a commercial software.
Option 3:
- Use scribus it might be useful for complex visual edits.
Option 4:
I frequently use Inkscape, GIMP eg. to fill in forms. (With such utilities like Imagemagic's convert, and pdftk [because they support just a single page only, you may join pages later].)
Also they wrote, that PDF Import extension feature to LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org may do what you want.
You can use pdfshuffler to delete pages and rearrange the pages if necessary.
It is available in software center. To install pdfshuffler, you can do
Description:
PDF-Shuffler is a small application which allows one to merge or split pdf documents and rotate, crop and rearrange their pages using an interactive and intuitive graphical interface.
PDF Mod
Remove, extract, and rotate pages in PDF documents
PDF Mod is a simple tool for modifying PDF documents. It can rotate, extract, remove and reorder pages via drag and drop. Multiple documents may be combined via drag and drop. You may also edit the title, subject, author and keywords of a PDF document using PDF Mod.
Note: this application may require quite a few dependencies related to mono.
You can use master PDF editor Master PDF Editor is a good application for this task.
you can do this withPDFzorro - PDF Editor:
here you can edit pdf files online, addcomments and text, draw retangles and lines etc..
delete, add, rotate, sort pages, merge etc..
There also exista Android-App for smartphones and a Google Chrome-Webstore-App for GoogleDrive
Even Xournal (available in the Software center) is not bad at all, provides an entire suite of pdf editing (highlight, notes, add text...) with the free option of pdf export! Works really fine!
I try almost all methods above, and finally find a best method: wine Foxit Reader.
In linux, we need pdf software like adobe acrobat pro under windows. 'wine Foxit Reader' is very light and powerful.
I am now using wine Foxit Reader 2.3 in ubuntu 12.04 x86_64.
The other way would be to use Libreoffice it has a Free PDF Import mod extension
Cropping, specifically, can easily be done with BRISS, a cross-platform PDF editor.
mendeley is good at making notes and manage pdfs, but it is more like a reference manager

Make sure to try PDF Buddy, the online PDF editor- it makes editing and signing PDFs a snap.
(Disclosure: I'm a co-founder)
Personally, I tried PDF Studio and I must admit it looks original Acrobat on its features (the gui, however, is not fantastic).
The only flaw is that it is not free, but I did not regret what I spent (much less than it costs Acrobat, however). Tested on Mint and Ubuntu and it works great! If you want to be picky, the tool 'Text' is limited and the interface is less rational than Acrobat's, but all in all, I would say that it is a great substitute.
One last tip: if you do not hurry, version 9 should be out in March, with many other new interesting features. The most important for me is to allow OCR for pages that already have some text content included.

Very good, but how can I contribute to correct Portuguese translation?
Nice, easy to use and very useful program. A small enhancement request : add 'Save' beside 'Save as' in 'File' menu to allow overwriting of currently open file (shortcut Ctl+S would be nice as well). Thanks, François.
Simple easy to use program. Easiest way to install this on a linux system is just to use the 'Software manager' built to your distribution which will download and install it.
I used to use PDF24 in windows and pdftk in linux, but pdftk lack of GUI. Currently I need more complicated task, and I found this. Very helpfull
Very useful piece of software, please keep up the good work.
