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?

Sorry to be that guy but... why? The whole motivation behind PDF is precisely NOT to be edited, NOT to be responsive, but rather to provide the SAME output, mostly text based, anywhere and everywhere.

I'm not saying she shouldn't edit PDF but I also have to clarify it is not "normal'.

I'll refrain from recommending anything before actually understanding the motivation behind her workflow.
