Good option in some limited circumstances. Very similar to Master PDF Editor (see above). It's a Windows program but it works well with wine. Commercial product, with a free version with basic functionality. PDF-XChange Editorįormerly called PDF-XChange Viewer.

Also support lines and rectangles - with custom line widths, colors and fills. Good for editing text, creating/filling in forms, inserting images. (No rectangles or other shapes.) Master PDF Editor Has tools pen, highlighter, text, insert image. I've tried both version 4 and 5, and installing package libreoffice-pdfimport didn't help. However, many of my PDFs will get corrupted when imported fonts seem to be changed wich leads to placement/spacing problems (all fonts were embedded in the PDFs).

(I have inlcuded some comments on the possibility of adding lines, rectangles and shapes, although the original question did not request this.) LibrOffice DrawĬould have been the ideal solution. I tried a number of the methods/softwares mentioned above, and just wanted to share my experiences.
