The law firm that I work for is has finally decided that we should embrace Linux.

When of the key programs that we use a PDF Editor that has e-sign capabilities. Most people use Adobe and I use Foxit.

The problem with Foxit is that it doesn’t run natively on Linux. I have to use WINE which is already going to be a problem cause we need a program that works out of the box. Having a program work out of the box cuts down on IT support and makes it easier for everyone to use.

The features needed:

  1. Bookmark
  2. Move/delete/insert pages
  3. Redact
  4. Bates numbering
  5. E-sign
  6. Change orientation of the page
  7. Resize pages
  8. Add notes
  9. Highlight
  10. Charges in Canadian dollars
  11. Offline program
  12. User friendly

Bonus points: It’s a non-American company

The ones that I have looked at:

  1. PDF Filler (not a fan of it being almost 100% cloud based)
  2. Master PDF Editor
  3. PDF Studio

Edit: Distro would most likely be Mint or Zorin.

    I remember Okular having a decent set of features. It might be worth checking out. The webpage says it supports digital signing, which is a suprise to me because that’s always been a hassle on linux for me. https://okular.kde.org/

      I didn’t realize okular supports a lot of other formats. As singular user I think this fits my needs. I’m especially interested that it can view .md files as well as open cbr and cbz files as well.

      I was also gonna say Okular. It does everything I need it to do and more. Digital signing when I used it recently was pretty simple.
