Help with...Adobe Acrobat DC Pro

15 days ago by iturnedintoanewt to c/linux

So...yeah, I know about the ragebait. So...my gf is testing the waters with Linux, moving away from Mac. I have a cute Chuwi Minibook X laptop in which I installed KDE Neon for her, with a bit of a Mac theming. Could have chosen ElementaryOS, but ah well.

At any rate, her pain point is ADobe Acrobat, which she uses constantly to edit PDF files in all sort of ways, adding pictures, cutting/pasting parts on other PDFs, modifying paragraphs and changing the arrangements and so on... I'm having a bit of trouble making it run on Wine/Lutris/Bottles, and I'd like to know if there's any other alternative that could cover some PDF editing properly in Linux. Any suggestions?

May I ask why she's moving away from Mac? And also what problems are you having with bottles?

As for the alternatives, OnlyOffice is really good at editing PDF files. It treats them like their own office format, on the same level as docx and ppt

Well she found a Chuwi Mini X laptop and found it irresistibly cute. It's a tiny 10" laptop. Comes with W11 by default, but was sluggish as hell so i removed it immediately. Much snappier on Linux.

Thanks I'll try Onlyoffice. I think it messes the formatting on some more complex pdfs but let's see.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
