PDFedit is an open source pdf editor available for Linux based Operating Systems.. Finding a PDF editor in Linux is pretty tough since there is lack of editors ... Most of the users used Image editor to edit Pdf files .. So its time to use a real pdf edior PDF EDIT..

Free editor for PDF documents. Complete editing of PDF documents is possible with PDFedit. You can change raw pdf objects (for advanced users) or use many gui functions. Functionality can be easily extended using a scripting language (ECMAScript).
