There are already solutions to sign a pdf or reorganize the sheets or make comments. My point was its all a separate tool which defeats the point. Like if you want to use paint and the fill bucket is in a separate application. Just makes no sense. I honestly willing to pay for a complete solution I dont want it for free.

Ah, well, "UNIX Philosophy", maybe. Each tool does one thing, and does it well, and it's up to the user to figure out what they want to accomplish by using multiple tools together— Though it probably made more sense in CLI than in the GUI realm. I think it works for 95% of cases. I don't want to need an entire office suite just to be able to make a mark on a page. But when you're working a lot on one particular document (be it a PDF, video edit, source code, digital illustration, or whatever), then yeah, having a "complete solution" with an efficient workflow can be hugely important as well.

You could check if CodeWeavers Crossover, the money behind the WINE project, can run your preferred Windows applications but do it on Linux:

Or maybe WINE will do it for free:
