Answer 2

well buddy, i can understand your state because i had been in similar situation because there are very less options under linux. After doing research for few days, i have started using pdf studio software.

http://www.qoppa.com/pdfstudio/index.html



Its acrobat like, meaning you can open, highlight, edit the text. and also add stamp\pen\tools like rectangle ... very comprehensive in features. plus there is ocr tool.

I like this software, its worth its cost, fast, reliable, less crushes, and frequent updates.



just give it a try.

p.s.

i had been using pdf-xchange viewer until recently under wine but not now because wine software are slower and crash easily than linux software, just my 1 $ advice...
