The law firm that I work for is has finally decided that we should embrace Linux.
When of the key programs that we use a PDF Editor that has e-sign capabilities. Most people use Adobe and I use Foxit.
The problem with Foxit is that it doesn’t run natively on Linux. I have to use WINE which is already going to be a problem cause we need a program that works out of the box. Having a program work out of the box cuts down on IT support and makes it easier for everyone to use.
The features needed:
- Bookmark
- Move/delete/insert pages
- Redact
- Bates numbering
- E-sign
- Change orientation of the page
- Resize pages
- Add notes
- Highlight
- Charges in Canadian dollars
- Offline program
- User friendly
Bonus points: It’s a non-American company
The ones that I have looked at:
- PDF Filler (not a fan of it being almost 100% cloud based)
- Master PDF Editor
- PDF Studio
Edit: Distro would most likely be Mint or Zorin.
