--- Comment #16 from Tommaso <tommaso.cucinotta at gmail.com> ---
Ubuntu way:

0) [optional] ensure wine64 is out of the way, cleanup ~/.wine (64-bit and
32-bit ~/.wine seem incompatible with each other)
   sudo apt-get remove wine64
   mv ~/.wine ~/.wine-bak

1) install wine32
   sudo apt-get install wine32
2) download the Zip Installer from Tracker Software
  
https://www.tracker-software.com/product/downloads/enduser/pdf-xchange-editor
3) unzip it, to exctract PDFXVE7.exe:
   unzip PDFXVE7.zip
4) launch the installer:
   wine PDFXVE7.exe
5) add to your ~/.bashrc:
   alias pdfxedit='wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Tracker\ Software/PDF\
Editor/PDFXEdit.exe 2> /dev/null'

6) spawn a new shell, and enjoy your new alias:
   pdfxedit /path/to/file.pdf

Note: after step 1), steps 2), 3) and 4) might be automatically doable through
the web browser (when u download the zip, choose Open with Archive, then double
click on the .exe, and it should be picked up by wine automatically)

Note: with the 32-bit wine, most of the times this bug cannot be seen, but
occasionally it pops out anyway. With wine64 instead, it is basically
impossible to annotate PDFs with the text tool.
