Any good recommendations for PDF editors/tools to comment on PDFs. Essentially whats the OSS alternative to Adobe acrobat? I'm a TA and need to give students feedback on reports and haven't found something that easy to use so just wanted to see what the community recommends.

Firefox is able to do this for basic PDF annotations. It's not very extensive, but it's very simple to use (and you probably already have it installed).
