So…yeah, I know about the ragebait. So…my gf is testing the waters with Linux, moving away from Mac. I have a cute Chuwi Minibook X laptop in which I installed KDE Neon for her, with a bit of a Mac theming. Could have chosen ElementaryOS, but ah well.

At any rate, her pain point is ADobe Acrobat, which she uses constantly to edit PDF files in all sort of ways, adding pictures, cutting/pasting parts on other PDFs, modifying paragraphs and changing the arrangements and so on… I’m having a bit of trouble making it run on Wine/Lutris/Bottles, and I’d like to know if there’s any other alternative that could cover some PDF editing properly in Linux. Any suggestions?

    Easier said than done.

    Slightly OT, but PDF Xchange Editor works great under wine, and tbh I think it’s miles ahead of Acrobat in terms of features.

      I agree it’s great but I had issues running it under Wine. An alternative is Xodo for Linux which apparently is Qoppa PDF Studio revamped. These three look strangely very similar. But Xodo has other issues, including crashes.
