These are all in their own right good PDF editors – you just need to choose which one will suit you best. Do you want to use something similar to Adobe Acrobat Pro, and be able to fully edit almost all PDF’s in any way you want? You might have to buy a Master or PDF Studio 11. Do you want to merge two PDF documents in one? You should try PDF Chain (or pdftk if you prefer the command line). Do you just want to edit a word or image in a PDF that someone created in Microsoft Word? You will probably do great with LibreOffice Draw or Inkscape. So, which is one of these applications better than the others? Well, I suppose it depends on what you want to do. It can add backgrounds, stamps, or edit the PDF info, or dump the form data in a PDF, among the many things it can do.Īll in all, a really great application if you don’t want to edit the text or images in a PDF. Install Adobe Reader from Ubuntu Software Center. It can split a PDF into smaller documents, or merge two into one. Launch a terminal by search terminal from the dash home, or press Ctrl+Alt+T. STEP 1: Launch ‘Terminal.’ STEP 2: We need to install certain 32-bit libraries for the Adobe Reader to work flawlessly. This is a simple but powerful application, but it is not a full-blown graphical editor as the other applications listed here – its usefulness lies elsewhere. The installation is tested in Ubuntu 16.04 but should work on versions above too.
