Some projects only give you .tar.gz, what am I supposed to do with them? Is this what people call building from source? Am I supposed to move it to /opt and extract it in Debian based distros? Does this also work on Arch based ones?

    BTW he wants it because allows for PDF edition and also allows to insert images and text within the highlights.

    I think Okular can insert images and text within highlights and LibreOffice Draw can edit PDFs.

    Apart from that, it’s OK to want specific Windows software on Linux, they just asked why and misunderstood that you want the Linux version, not install it through WINE. If you had provided links to the software you want to install that would have been clearer.
