[OS X TeX] OT: Looking for a PDF editor on Linux

Hi all,

Colleagues of mine are looking for a way to edit PDF files on Linux  
computers. Do you know whether a Linux PDF editor does exist? Adobe  
Acrobat turns out to be only available on Mac and Windows, and xpdf has  
apparently no editing capabilities. Paying for the software is not an  
issue, the problem is only to be able to do the work on Linux (most of  
my colleagues are Fedora, some are Debian -- and some are switching to  
OS X, too ;-).

Some googling brought up a solution  
<http://applications.linux.com/article.pl?sid=05/01/06/ 
0612209&tid=49&tid=47> involving Xfig and flpsed, but another solution  
involving as few conversions between formats as possible (ideally a  
single application, with GUI) would be better. I was surprised to find  
no existing GNU project about this, but maybe I've not looked at the  
appropriate places.
