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?

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
