Hi there,

what can I use to edit pdf files? I've already tried LibreOffice Draw,
but when I open the pdf, I only see an entirely blue page. Is it normal?
I don't think so... Anyway, what other program can I use to edit?

Thanks

IIRC, there is "Master PDF Editor" ... but honestly "editing" PDFs is
kind of a longshot if you don't have the source document.

mutool convert -F pdf -O decompress,clean -o output.pdf input.pdf

Now try output.pdf in LO Draw, for a test.

*******

It's from the same company which is associated with GhostScript development.

https://www.mupdf.com/releases/

https://www.mupdf.com/docs/mutool.html

And I ran into a document which could not be processed
by it, only two days ago. The state of PDF files
just keeps getting worse and worse.

quite a lot of sites online will 'convert' pdfs to different file
formats. Whatever you use the results will depend on how the pdf is
created. When I used to do CAD work for instance you needed a pdf
creator which handled vector graphics properly, one which turned your
drawing into an enormous bitmap was useless. Likewise there are issues
with text handling.
