PDFs are absolutely editable, but usually you need paid application for that. Thanks to some dumbassery in my previous job, I had to use the paid version of Adobe because I regularly had to edit PDFs. There are some security options that can make PDFs more challenging to edit, even with the paid tools, but I've always found ways around those too, usually by simply using "Print to PDF", then editing the output file.
I think you can open PDFs in libreoffice and edit them, although you have to manually reexport as pdf when you're done
Oh sweet! I just did a super quick test on a random file and it definitely handled my very basic editing tasks easily, and the new PDF lets me copy/paste text from it the way I'd expect it to. Thanks!
Okular also supports pdf editing.
If you're applying somewhere that's annotating the file instead of printing it out and writing on it in pen, they should be able to buy an enterprise license for some PDF editor or other. Or the knowledge to find a free PDF editor somewhere.
Okular has annotations and signing
Inkscape can let you edit evrything
Yes, you can. But it's not made for that and you shouldn't. And is that process lossless?
