Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew of a FOSS editing app to use on PDFs, just to add text and and mark things out, I tried GNU image editor but it just works on images exclusively. Any ideas are appreciated, thanks.

Absolutely. And I think a proper “Export to PDF” in Inkscape is something that should be high on the list of “future features” in Inkscape. Editing the PDF in Inkscape is heaven, having to re-join the pages to one big PDF afterwards is (unnecessary) hell.
I was under the impression that the ability to export a project as a multi-page pdf has been added not long ago, but I might have to check
I’ve got Inkscape 1.3.2 and so far I have not found to export it as one multipage PDF, only as a batch of numbered single-page PDFs.
Checked again to make sure, it’s not very straightforward because it’s not part of the Export menu:
You simply have to do File > save a copy and save it as a pdf.

I can import and export multi-page PDFs into inkskape just fine. No need to do each page individually.
I can only import multipage PDFs in 1.3.2. Export produces a bunch of single-page PDF files. What version do you use?
My version also seems to be 1.3.2. When I select (*.pdf) from the export panel, it lets me select all the pages at once, which results in a single PDF.
