What is the closest GNU/Debian equivalent to Adobe Professional?

I have been enjoying cups PDF printer so soft copies of my document, but never found a good PDF edit in Debian.

My squeeze install uses document viewer with PDFs, which does not allow corrections to be made.

While it's not Adobe Professional I like flpsed - it'll do most of what you require.
Generally I find it easier to just do everything as a document and export the pdf. Foomatic-rip is useful too.

Cheers
