[ale] is there an open source program permitting creating/editing of PDF files ?

[James Sumners]

Or install the CUPS PDF printer and create PDFs from any application
that can print.

PDFs aren't really meant to be edited once they are created. There is
a plugin for OpenOffice Draw that makes it possible, but I doubt it
works very well. A PDF is meant to be a digital representation of a
printed document. Can you make unnoticeable edits to printed paper?
