I've yet to find one. Pdf24 is free but not Foss and decent for certain tasks, but it's not a great editor. After using the paid version of xchange for as long as I have, using free options just leaves me disappointed.

    What's kind of weird is that there seems to be no other program coming close to Xchange's range. I've tried a bunch of them and they're basically toys compared to it. There evidently is some demand, but just one company meeting it fully? Is editing PDFs particularly technically difficult?

    And the one company won't release a Linux version either. Sure, Wine exists, but it's not nearly as good as native support.

    No clue how complicated PDFs, with all of its different versions are. Especially if some software make PDFs that don't even comply with official spec (not sure how often happens though).
