If you just want to create the PDF file under linux, I suggest that OpenOffice is a good choice. Output a pdf format becomes the standard option since version 1.1. Besides, I also never heard about any other version of abode acrobat except acrobat reader.
Creating pdf in Linux does seem to be an issue. Best = ps2pdf.
But how to change a character ? Add a line ?
How to edit it ? ... like acrobat , not acroread.
