I'm looking for an Adobe Acrobat alternative, or PDF-editor, that is capable of:

  • marking text;
  • adding text;
  • adding comments (like one would do in MS Word);
  • adding a signature (in some way);
  • preferably, but not necessary: the ability to recognise text in files where the text is not selectable (i.e. one can copy text from an image file that was saved as a PDF, like some printers do when scanning pages).

Does anyone happen to know of any European or Open Source alternative that fit this description? I have sworn to never again install any Adobe software.

For viewer I would say Sumatra (Polish) or Okular, but I don't know any European or open source editor unfortunately

+1 for Sumatra as a viewer, it's super fast, even with large documents.

Okular has support for filling forms, but I'm not sure if it has more advanced editing features.

A non-adobe, but closed-source alternative is Foxit. It's Chinese, so not EU, but also not US (:

Thanks for the recommendations, Sumatra and Okular seem popular alternatives so I'll check them out.
