Feel free to search the repositories. There's at least one PDF editor in there that I'm aware of, maybe more.

If you're creating new documents and just want to export them as PDF files, just use LibreOffice Writer.
Please read the Forum Rules, How To Ask For Help, How to Break Your System and Don't Break Debian. Always include your full Quick System Info (QSI) with each and every new help request.

I use a proprietary software called masterpdf.

Its the best pdf editor I have found for Linux so far.

It's in mxpi popular apps.

Which is a place users should search and explore. Lots of useful, interesting stuff there.

I think if you want a free Master PDF version that doesn't watermark your output, you need to install the "4" one in MXPI.

My favorite is called Xournal. It's super easy, lets me annotate pdfs as well as take notes for classes. After all the annotations (which can include images, formatting, all the cool stuff), it saves as a different kinda file, not as a pdf, but that's so easy to fix: I select Print --> Print to File and give it a name. Perfect new pdf with all my scribbles and images and stuff. And it's in the repos.
