No open source PDF editors that I am aware of. Regarding this particular question it is important to understand the requirement. Many people I have supported have asked for a PDF editor. Getting them to define what they actually want to do often determines that the features of Adobe Acrobat Reader or Foxit Reader, among others, will meet their requirements.
If the requirements include changing text (adding, removing, reflowing) in an existing PDF, controlling how others can use the document (prohibit select and copy text, open to a certain page, prevent modification, etc) then yes, a PDF editor would be required. If the requirements include highlighting, marking out, underscoring existing text, applying a digital signature, adding comments, then Adobe Acrobat Reader or Foxit Reader both will meet the requirements. If the requirement is to create a PDF document then OpenOffice programs can be used to do that along with other methods, e.g. Foxit Reader includes a PDF "printer". Select it as the target printer and instead of a page coming out of your physical printer, a PDF document is created.
