Also, xpdf does not support some extensions like PDF notes (comments)
and PDF form elements (like those in the GPL LinuxTag 2002 ticket).

xpdf does also have (very restricted) navigation capabilities, but lacks
most of acroreads features and is slower. I would really be happy to see
a native GPLed PDF editor on GNU/Linux one day. But to the best of my
knowledge, nobody is working on this yet. :-(
