It's depending on what you understand under "edit", and whether you expect to use Free Open Source Software (FOSS) or not.

If you just want to fill out forms (JavaScript), then I'd recommend the FOSS programs: chromium browser (not: Google chrome browser), or evince.

If you want to edit the PDF itself, like moving lines, edit texts or rearranging elements (like pictures), you can either use LibreOffice (but for me it wasn't quiet usable), or buy a license for a commercial program.

For commercial programs, I'd made good experience with Master PDF Editor. But I'd also give Qoppa a try, because a lot of people say that Qoppa is the better choice.
My experience for Master PDF Editor is: I'd running it since 2019 with the same bought license. But my Debian changed from Jessie, over Stretch and Buster to Bullseye (now), and it's still running. I'd to admit that I needed to reinstall the DEB package every then and a while (not after a Debian Upgrade), due to issues with Qt5. So it was a good idea to download the DEB package after I bought it, and keep the packages till today. So far I can say, all required depencies are included in the downloaded DEB package.

Best regards,
	Klaus.
