what do you use for a Linux PDF editor..???? is there a free one??

I like to install PDF-XChange Viewer under wine. I also use xournal, which is in the repositories. With xournal, you don't actually change the pdf file; you use it as a background. Your edits go in a .xoj file, which can be exported to create a new pdf file with your edits sitting on top of the background pdf file.

Did you search the internet for something like "linux pdf editor"? I did and came across
http://www.webupd8.org/2014/02/modif...th-master.html
and
https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/pdfedit/ (upto 12.10; no version for 14.04).

Master PDF Editor is free for personal use on Linux, and is very good and getting better. You can get it here.

+1 for Master PDF Editor. Used it yesterday to add text to various pdfs. Works a treat.

Depends on what you need to do, but between these, I can do pretty much anything with PDFs: pdfshuffler, xournal, gimp, pdfedit and even LibreOffice with a PDFedit plugin.

I have tried several and unfortunately the only one that works without issue is pdf-xchange working under wine. Master pdf editor, like all the other free (as in speech or in beer) Linux pdf editors, tends to mangle up form texts when the entry is more a few words (Same with Okular, qpdfview) I think that is a bug/limitation of the poppler lib so it affects all free Linux pdf software (Master is non free but may use the same lib) Also most free Linux pdf editor don't support forms with scripts (not sure about Master as it failed my first test as described above), I don't know if it is because of poppler or devs of pdf editors.

PDF studio is supposed to be good but it is quite expensive (and I haven't tried it)
