After a very long search, I finally found a full-featured program that allows me to edit PDF files.
Qoppa PDF Editor offers a lot of features including:
- add highlighting,
- add comments,
- crossout-text,
- extract text embedded in the file,
- scan to PDF (can scan and insert directly into a PDF document),
- modify pages,
- add or remove pages from a document,
- add hyperlinks
- and other etc. etc. features
The program is written in JAVA and there are versions for Linux, Mac and Windows so you can use the same program on WinXP and Linux if you are dual booting.
I tested it in my Ubuntu 7.10 and found all its features to be fully compatable with Adobe Acrobat -- when I created highligting or notes in Qoppa PDF Editor and then opened it inside Adobe Acrobat 7, all of the highlighting and notes were intact! Great! Perhaps more researchers and students can switch to Linux now that a good PDF tool that allows highlighting and comments is available!

If you have some experience with pdf, can help me.
I'm looking for a program to edit forms through pdf and print that form on pre-printed modules. |

a good tool in apt is pdfedit, but still under heavy developement and not 100% stable.
to fill out forms, the new tool in kde4 is nice okular (former kpdf).

| I'm a very big fan and supporter of open source software and have converted as many of my friends as possible. Unfortunately, regarding PDF editing tools for researchers who need to add highlighting and comments, I've found nothing better. I can only hope the open source community can provide a solution. I'll be glad to participate. |
