Perhaps you could summarise what you learnt, and what you feel you

qpdf is good for e.g. removing any password protection - given you know the
password. But I kinda doubt that's what's meant with editor. And quite
frankly, you can do most of what qpdf does more comfortably with tools like
PDFSam or PDF Arranger. The latter even lets you crop pages or rename the

It's depending on what you understand under "edit", and whether you expect to

If you just want to fill out forms (JavaScript), then I'd recommend the FOSS

Ok, that clarifies thing for me, so pdf is just another end-format, like ps,
from which i know it is based.
So no hope for me, i will need to get access to the source of said pdf
document.

Not sure there's literally such a thing as a "PDF Editor"; Acrobat
doesn't let you do much with an existing PDF file. But if you're looking
to *create* PDF files, that you can do with ps2pdf, dvipdf, pdflatex,
... - it depends on the source of the file you want in PDF form.
