In Adobe Acrobat Pro you can do things like put little sticky notes in PDFs, highlight text, and create bookmarks. I have found this very useful for learning. In school you learn better when you put your notes right in the textbook. Some of the material is now delivered in pdf form.

However I've switched to Linux. I find that there are several programs that can read PDFs, but they can't do all those useful things I just mentioned.

Are there any linux programs that can? I found a program that converts pdfs to ps format. If I convert a pdf to a ps file, are there programs that let you do these kinds of things?

Xournal can be used to annotate PDFs (and with proper text, not just like the rather whimsical screenshot).

I've used it to fill in non-interactive PDF forms.

Adobe Reader X can add Sticky Notes (Crtl-6) to PDFs. At least in Windows it can. You might want to try this in Linux.

Adobe Reader can add comments only if the original PDF enables adding comments (and only paid versions of Adobe can create such a PDF). – choroba Jan 19 at 14:49
No adobe Reader X for Linux will be found currently. – kamae Feb 29 at 18:45
