In essence, yes. PDF is an open format. So, it is quite
possible to create a tool that edits PDF directly. But I
do not know of any. (Doesn't mean they don't exist.) I
use tools that are comfortable with PostScript: TeX, LaTeX,
xifg, even a package called 'pstricks', which (when it works
on Ubuntu) allows you to *really* mark up a TeX/LaTex
document with PostScript scribbles.
