PDFedit is a free and open source library for manipulating PDF documents, released under terms of GNU GPL version 2. It includes PDF manipulating library based on xpdf, GUI and set of command line tools. It contains set of command tools that lets you edit the PDF contents.

freepdfeditor.net
It is a completely free and simple PDF editing and creating software, it can help you to create your pdf documents by yourself in minutes, no need any complex setting and knowledge about PDF format, handy and easy to use very much, specially for beginners.

LibreOffice Draw
LibreOffice Draw, which is a part of a Free Open Source LibreOffice suite (a fork of OpenOffice.org), has full PDF editing capability. It supports simply opening a PDF file and editing both the text and graphics and it exports hybrid PDF files that can be edited again in LibreOffice, but should otherwise act as normal PDF files.

It is not perfect though. Some PDF files do not display correctly as images are sometimes out of place and text is displayed incorrectly when the font used is not installed on the system and available to LibreOffice. Regardless of these quirks, this might be the best free and full PDF editing option.

Inkscape
Inkscape, is primarily a vector graphics editor, but it can import PDF documents that can then be edited in full as if they were vector graphics, and then exported back into a PDF. The limitation is that only one page at a time can be edited and since everything is converted into vector graphics there is still no true text editing. Text elements are converted into vector text elements, but editing them is buggy. What appears to work best is replacing existing text elements with new ones instead of editing them directly.

PDFTK Builder
PDFTK Builder is free graphical user interface to the Windows OS, while you can make, append, and edit your PDF docs in different ways. The entire PDF editor is very simple to use. The GUI of the application is very simple since all the edit options are neatly placed in tab form.
