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.

I frequently see Okular as a suggested app when someone is asking about a pdf editor.

Myself I am using pdfarranger but it only allows to reorder / remove / combine / split pdf. You can't highlight or redact text with it.

Thanks. Yeah, I’ve started to check out Okular, but I think it doesn’t allow you to change the pages. So maybe a combination of the two would fulfill my requirements.
