Multi page TIFF definitely does work on both platforms. You could use the
gimp to edit the images, but the text will now be treated as pixels, not

If you have the Adobe acrobat tools (the bought ones), then you can edit
PDF. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for the open source community to catch
up (probably about 6 months).
