Hi I am looking for some great PDF editors besides Qoppa Software's PDF Studio I have already found, which is quite affordable. Are their any other ones more affordable for Ubuntu?

LibreOffice Draw will take care of most of my PDF editing needs. It is very affordable, it is Free. See: https://askubuntu.com/a/99788/43926 – C.S.Cameron Mar 10 '23 at 06:03

To change texts/annotate/insert images:
Try Xournal++, which can used as an annotating tool. You can write on PDFs with mouse and digital pen, erase text and images, insert text, insert images, insert equations with LaTeX, and do many more things.
To install it in Ubuntu 18.04-21.10, you can use the Xournal++ stable PPA
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apandada1/xournalpp
sudo apt update
sudo apt install xournalpp
In Ubuntu 22.04 and above, you can install it from the repositories (although the PPA still hosts updated versions).
sudo apt install xournalpp
You can also use the snap and flatpak versions, but they may have issues with LaTeX.
To reorder/remove/add/rotate pages:
You can use PDF Arranger.
sudo apt install pdfarranger

PDF hasn't been proprietary since 2008. If you're paying money for a basic PDF editor, you're probably getting ripped off.
I recommend LibreOffice. In particular, LibreOffice Draw lets you edit and author PDF files like a typical word processor.
LibreOffice is included in Ubuntu repositories and it is both free (as in beer) and free (as in freedom). To install it, run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libreoffice

I suggest okular developed by KDE community. You can install it from Ubuntu app store or simply using apt package manager.
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y okular

Code Industry offers Master PDF Editor, which is free of charge for basic editing, but inserts a watermark for certain advanced editing. The Pro version costs $70 and of course it doesn't insert watermarks.

It's not OSS.
