    Sign: => If you mean add what looks like a graphical signature, then xournalpp, but if you mean a "digital signature", that's something that is still not well supported on Linux; okular can do it, but getting the necessary certificate is a pain.

  6. ImageMagick is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images.
    Export to PNG, JPEG, Word, Excel => For the first two you could use gimp, though I usually use pdftoppm and/or imagemagick convert from the command line. I try not to convert to Word; that's going against the grain, but the few times I've had, I've use calibre's ebook-convert. I gather LibreOffice has gotten much better at importing PDFs in recent years as well.
