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?

stop editing pdfs, that's like scrapbooking. put the stuff into a mutable format and generate a pdf when you're done.

    Yes. She has been doing this for a very long time. I hope you see changing not only the full OS, but her entire workflow...might be too much of a PITA and she'll just go back to the old Mac. Which I was trying to avoid.

    oh i know, it's part of painfully many workflows. i don't understand how it got started and i cringe every time i hear someone is doing it. i'm not suggesting this seriously obviously.

    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.
