Description
In Windows, there's Adobe Acrobat Professional to work on PDFs with. You can annotate, create/join, edit (to an extent) PDFs using it. Also, there's Adobe Illustrator to work on PDFs effectively, to make interactive PDFs as well. We need a program in Linux to do the same because of the portability and ubiquity of PDFs.

Some folks have pointed out that Inkscape can handle PDF editing now. I tried it and it works well, but it's on page-by-page basis. PDFEdit is another editor, but it needs more work.
Cheers!

Like Illustrator indeed, not like Acrobat Pro.

LaTeX, Inkscape, OpenOffice, etc.
You can create PDF from any application, using the virtual PDF printer.

Inkscape is super but it doesn't offer a native pdf-manipulation rather than an import - export pdf solution.
PDF Editor does native manipulation of pdfs but is pretty buggy and too complicated.
I think we really need a nice gui for pdf editing.

I use gscan2pdf which is a great tool for scaning images to PDF and also for basic manipulation of PDFs - not only scanned. It can import, add, delete and rotate PDF pages. It should be included as default PDF manipulation tool under Gnome environment.

Also try Scribus it's similar to Adobe Inline 8or something like that; previous adobe pagemaker)

I do heavy PDF editing (including metatagging) and there's no tool comparable to Adobe Acrobat for linux. I hate to be rude but pdfedit is useless -- its like a non-proof of concept. I will check out inkscape.
