Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew of a FOSS editing app to use on PDFs, just to add text and and mark things out, I tried GNU image editor but it just works on images exclusively. Any ideas are appreciated, thanks.

I was under the impression that the ability to export a project as a multi-page pdf has been added not long ago, but I might have to check

I've got Inkscape 1.3.2 and so far I have not found to export it as one multipage PDF, only as a batch of numbered single-page PDFs.

Checked again to make sure, it's not very straightforward because it's not part of the Export menu:

You simply have to do File > save a copy and save it as a pdf.

Yeah, you can export multiple-page PDFs and https://floss.social/@doctormo is working on revamping how it's handling colour so we will eventually get propper CMYK support and other cool stuff
