   LyX is a visual editor (WYSIWYM, "what you see is what you mean"   
   approach), that can generate PDFs and other formats. It is related to   
   LaTeX but is not the same. Although it probably uses external libraries   
   to do the actual conversion.   
      
   Libre Office can also generate PDFs, including cryptographically signed   
   documents, probably using libraries. It can also edit PDFs.
