I'm quite shocked that The GIMP reads / writes PDF files.
Yes, but they end up as image files. Which is the clearest way you can be sure that there is no residue of what you deleted.
Seems to me I had to use some LibreOffice tool last time I wanted to edit a PDF, although that was long ago and things change, including my memory fuzzing it.
I tried LibreOffice. It popped me into Draw, if I remember correctly. And then I could not get it to do what I needed.
Was this with the GIMP v2 or the new v3?
I just asked the GNOME store for GIMP and got a flatpack of V3.0.0 RC3. I was able to crash it a couple of times, probably because I didn't know how to use it and went a previously untroddent path through the code. It does mean that googling for help produced results that didn't work.
