I'm always surprised that, for as widely used as PDFs are, there doesn't seem to be any real alternative to Acrobat for editing existing PDFs.

Stirling PDF may have what you need https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF

i've had good success doing small edits with libreoffice (design? draw? idk what its called).

that or Inkscape are the only real answers I'd have if you forced me to name one, but I'd have a hard time recommending a vector graphics editor to a regular person who just wants to edit text formatting in a PDF without messing it up.
