The law firm that I work for is has finally decided that we should embrace Linux.
When of the key programs that we use a PDF Editor that has e-sign capabilities. Most people use Adobe and I use Foxit.
The problem with Foxit is that it doesn’t run natively on Linux. I have to use WINE which is already going to be a problem cause we need a program that works out of the box. Having a program work out of the box cuts down on IT support and makes it easier for everyone to use.
The features needed:
- Bookmark
- Move/delete/insert pages
- Redact
- Bates numbering
- E-sign
- Change orientation of the page
- Resize pages
- Add notes
- Highlight
- Charges in Canadian dollars
- Offline program
- User friendly
Bonus points: It’s a non-American company
The ones that I have looked at:
- PDF Filler (not a fan of it being almost 100% cloud based)
- Master PDF Editor
- PDF Studio
Edit: Distro would most likely be Mint or Zorin.


Did you try using xournalpp? It’s more recent fork. I’ve used it in teaching and found it really useful.
Just installed it (it’s even in the Debian-Ubuntu repo) and it’s an obvious improvement! Thanks for the tip.
