[SOLVED] Application to edit PDF?

Hi All,
   I hope you are well.
I have a question if you come across an application that allows to edit PDF files effectively?

I used LibreOffice Draw for that but noticed that if there are hyperlinks in the PDF file these are no longer there when opened in Draw and some formatting isn't great.
Please advise.

Re: [SOLVED] Application to edit PDF?

I take it you've not checked the list here.  LibreOffice Draw really has the lowest tier of capability for editing PDFs.  Just about any other option on that list should be more effective.

However, this also depends on how you define effective.  There are a huge number of rarely used capabilities of the pdf format.  Each tool tends to include some of these but not others - so the most effective tool for you will be the one that provides the features you'll actually need / use.

The only pdf editor that could ever be 100% "effective" is Adobe's own software (running on Windows or Wine).

Thank you.
For now I use Master PDF Editor as I didn't have a luck launching Inkscape or Scribe.
