What is the closest GNU/Debian equivalent to Adobe Professional? I know of none that matches 100% Acrobat's functionalities :-/ But there are some tools that allow PDF manipulation/editing and add nice capabilities, like pdftk: http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/ There are another corporate (and paid) solutions such Cabaret: http://www.cabaret-solutions.com/en/product/cabaret-stage I have been enjoying cups PDF printer so soft copies of my document, but never found a good PDF edit in Debian. Not only in Debian but in the whole of the Linux ecosystem, I'm afraid. My squeeze install uses document viewer with PDFs, which does not allow corrections to be made.
