On Windows I use Adobe Acrobat. With that I can create, edit pdf's or just fill in documents. There are programs available for making/editing pdf but they don't work that well.

So I am hoping you know a good one that has similar functions as Acrobat. I would switch to Windows right now but my primary notebook is out for repair so I have to do it with my old notebook witch only has Ubuntu to try it out and learn a little bit more

Master pdf editor you can find it in Ubuntu software centre.

For creating, editing and printing PDFs, the default installed Libreoffice should be good at it, as it prints and edits anyway. If you want to edit PDFs after exporting them, select the following when exporting PDFs from Libreoffice (use 'Export as PDF...' in the File menu):

enter image description here

This means that you can open the exported PDF in Libreoffice and edit it easily. You probably can't edit PDFs created by other software though.

See this question for other software choices.

I don't use Adobe Acrobat so don't know if this is enough.

You can install adobe-acrobat using wine on ubuntu.

  1. Install wine from the software centre or from the terminal using:

    sudo apt-get install wine

  2. Download the version of adobe-acrobat you want from their repositories.

  3. Extract the downloaded zip file and open the executable installer by right-clicking and choosing wine as the application to open.

  4. This will open adobe acrobat's standard installer and you can install it as you install in on windows.

  5. Now to open adobe acrobat, you will need to open it using the terminal as follows:

    wine <path/to/adobe/acrobat/application/exe>

    Replacing <path/to/adobe/acrobat/application/exe> with the path where adobe acrobat's exe is stored. In my case it is $USER/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Adobe/Reader\ 11.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe.

  6. You can store this command as an alias in your ~/.bash_aliases file to type just adobe-acrobat to execute this command.

Note: I have a blog on this, have a look for more details.
