On the topic of PDFs, one thing I have always wondered is why there aren't any OpenSource pdf editors that are comparable to Adobe or Foxit. Does anyone know?

What features are you looking for? Okular has served me well.

Probably for the same reason there aren't any OpenSource comparables to Word, Excel, Outlook, Autocad, Quickbooks, or any other flagship productivity software

Not the same thing.

- Libreoffice can edit Word and Excel files.

- There are several tools to read a PST file. Anyway… pst files are not commonly being shared with other people so the need to accessing it is uncommon unless you already use outlook.

- Autocad and Quickbooks are far less used (less people) than PDF.

I also wonder why there are no more tools to edit PDF files. Maybe licensing issues?
