Hey, I just finished my own search for a good Linux-compatible PDF editor. I wound up choosing Master PDF, which works on both Linux and Windows and has a demo available. It’s about $100 for a license which I’ve very much found worth paying.

… I’m sure that there are also methods out there for getting it to work if you find yourself unable to pay the license cost.

As for dual booting, it’s a bit of a learning curve but the software has gotten so much better over the years that I think you’d be easily able to do it. Find some YouTube videos if you feel anxious or if you have specific or unusual needs in your setup and just go for it!

Edit: but back up your files, just to be safe!
