Can Linux solve this problem? (PDF files)

[Bayard Coolidge USG ZKO3-3/S20]

Bob Sparks asked:

I know that some systems can read these formats, but "they"
need to thrash it with Microslop Word.

Answer:

Well, not exactly...

You can get a free PDF reader for Linux from Adobe (who are the
folks who own PDF). But, editing a PDF document appears to be the
key question, and that will cost money, and it's unclear that there
is a product to create PDF documents available from Adobe - at
least they don't show one. Their web page is:
