Plenty of tools nowadays:

Okular in kde4 does a good job, although the annotations don't show up in other pdf readers unless you print it to a pdf.

xournal Lets you be VERY creative in how you annotate - you can do freehand drawings, etc. on it. Perfect for tablet PCs.

There is also Jarnal, Gournal, and NoteLab but I haven't tried them.

Openoffice will have Sun PDF Import extension (SPI).

You can also use PDFXchange through wine.

PDFedit, is for advanced users, and is said to be "the most reliable PDF editor for the GNU/Linux desktop."
