Master PDF Editor is a free tool for personal use on Linux systems, it is not open source, but is an option to consider for the tasks involving editing and modifying pdf files.
It is a complete solution for creating and editing both PDF and XPS files, and lets you add content to existing PDF and XPS files. You can add, edit, import, add images. You can also add text, or edit it. Similarly, you can add or remove pages, change the format of the pages, and of course change the PDF information, author, title, subject, keywords and other information about the document.

Another interesting feature of this application is that it lets you create and edit forms, from buttons, combo boxes, list boxes, text entry boxes and more.

You may also try our software called PDF Studio. It works on Linux as well as Mac and Windows (one license can be installed on 2 computers on different OS).
It can do a lot of what Adobe Acrobat can do including OCR.
Make sure Linux users understand it is NOT free. The program gives a 30-day trial and places a watermark on any pdfs you edit unless you buy.
There are two versions of Master PDF Editor. Both require registration and are not Open Source. But there is a free version for Linux. When downloaded from the free link, is absolutely and forever free for non-commercial use, and has no watermark. This is not a free trial, although a free trial of the paid version is available for download.
I can’t speak to printed output originating from thre free edition of Master PDF Edtior for Linux. When printed, the watermark may appear.
Where is the free link? I thought I had upgraded to the free version for Linux, but it sstopped working and all options are greyed out a few days after updating. There is now a little red button on it that says “Buy now.” I can only find downloads that say the same.
