I love that people think editing PDFs is something that A) should be done and B) should be done in the browser.
(I suppose they need to modify a resource they found on the web; just another reason to use real #OER / #OpenContent resources.)
@chris_spackman @SandyKendell@mastodon.education @scerruti @ericcurts @edutooters Inkscape works for editing PDFs.
@chris_spackman @SandyKendell@mastodon.education @scerruti @ericcurts @edutooters i use it for PDF editing on the cheap. #foss it! 🤣

LibreOffice Draw can also edit PDFs. I've only done that a few times, and haven't ever with Inkscape, so can't compare.
Honestly, when random PDFs that I didn't make need editing, I usually just redo them in LaTeX. That is usually readings for EL / ELL / EMEB students.
If I can't copy the text from the PDF, I use Tesseract => Markdown => Pandoc => LaTex => PDF again.
It's F(L)OSS all the way down.

I use Inkscape all the time! How did I not know this?!
Thanks.
