      @spiral said in PDF Editor Alternatives, Preferably Open Source:

      @jaredbusch lol, the "garbage" was my deliberate editing of the original pdf layer. (albeit not very pretty) However, I could of just annotated the pdf in another layer, keeping the original layer intact.

      See, that makes more sense, but was not clear in your original post as to what that was.

          That's great that LibreOffice worked out!

            Free, but not sure about open source... LibreOffice Draw works well. Inkscape is worth checking out; typically a vector graphics tool, but also has some PDF editing capabilities.

            I've used Foxit PhantomPDF across a few clients, and have had some issues with the driver just randomly experiencing issues when trying to print to PDF or to a printer. So, just a heads up. But their price is very attractive. As @JaredBusch also pointed out, PDf Element is a good alternative at a slightly lower cost than Foxit PhantomPDF (roughly $30).
