I've never done that on any OS. I'm admittedly not very familiar with the format, but i was under the impression that pdfs were more or less a write-once format.
Apparently I've been missing out :)
Verily so. Adobe Professional for Mac seems quite competent; although it does have some limitations, I've managed to change colours of text & presumably (this wasn't what I was interested in at the time) you can change the content of the text also.
There is a pdflib available for Linux which allows you to work with the contents of pdfs, but:
1) I don't really know how useful it is - the documentation is quite heavy going, and so it's probably not for casual use.
2) Only the demo version is free.
