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.

Inkscape!
2nd this. It is by no means a "PDF Editor", but it works surprisingly better than most.
Inkscape also could be a good option in OP's case because it gives options about janking up text. It can either try to find the fonts from those on your system, or it can change every glyph into a path.
That being said, I've treid both Inkscape and LO Draw, and I've had more luck with Inkscape in regards to keeping fonts similar. In 90% of cases (and I do have to fix up PDFs every now and then) the "Keep text" option doesn't jank up text.
