What kind of edits are we talking? Firefox can add signatures and text now in its built-in pdf reader.

You don't need a PDF editor to create PDF's, you can print to PDF in any program that can print, including LibreOffice Writer.

for editing, like for reformatting pdf content.

Pdfs were never meant for that... people dont get that and try to convince you you need to edit damn PDFs.

Pdfs are a format for viewing documents, with most editing capabilities stripped. Libreoffice and MSoffice both have a feature to export a PDF with an embedded .odt or .docx, that you can actually load in a regular word processor, edit and export.
