Acrobat isn't easy to use either. i find it kinda clunky and not intuitive. Maybe it is the nature of vector graphics and text.
InkScape for graphics imports / exports pdf. The SVG can be edited in theory in a text editor because it is XML.
ps2pdf <--> pdf2ps
xhtml2ps | ps2pdf
I have had problems with ps2pdf - a lot of the time it just plain fails, especially if the output is fancy-formatted (like dual columns).
OpenOffice can export its documents as pdfs, which can provide a lot of the functionality, but as for editing an existing PDF, I don't know of a cheap, simple solution. Acrobat is probably the best, and it's expensive (by my budget framework).
