Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew of a FOSS editing app to use on PDFs, just to add text and and mark things out, I tried GNU image editor but it just works on images exclusively. Any ideas are appreciated, thanks.

How could I convert the pictures back to a PDF when I'm done?

I think GIMP can do that.

I dont think you should, but if you must use img2pdf

Why not?

Not OP, but I'm guessing PDFs add more metadata that is harder to remove. Just a guess
