Any good recommendations for PDF editors/tools to comment on PDFs. Essentially whats the OSS alternative to Adobe acrobat? I'm a TA and need to give students feedback on reports and haven't found something that easy to use so just wanted to see what the community recommends.

If you need more than just basic annotations, you can edit PDFs with LibreOffice Draw. PDFs aren't intended to be editable, so nothing is going to be like editing the original document unless the PDF was created with LibreOffice and exported as a hybrid PDF.

And while it works you're not technically editing the PDF as much as creating a new LibreOffice file based on the PDF.

Works perfectly for my purposes though.
