PDF Editor (self.opensource)

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.

Oh, interesting. I could see how the pdftk CLI could be powerful. Do you know if the source code repository is actually public? I couldn’t find it.

I don't think the repository itself is public. But pdftk is licenced under GPL2, and so PTFLabs has published the source code here.

I imagine you could contact PDFLabs directly if you wanted to contribute.
