PDF Editor (self.opensource)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by stylishboar to c/[email protected]
 

Any recommendations for a PDF editor? I've been using LibreOffice Draw, but it doesn't seem to preserve all the formatting/positioning.

Edit: Some features I'm looking for:

  • The ability to highlight and/or redact text
  • The ability to add/remove pages
  • It would also be nice to be able add signatures.

Unfortunately I didn't find any single PDF editing app that stands out, so far. Although it's important to note that Firefox as made some progress recently on this topic. The embedded PDF viewer now allows to write, sketch and draw on documents (e.g a signature) and save the changes, i think you can also highlight. When it comes to digital signatures and adding/removing/sorting pages, you will need another app.
