qpdf is good for e.g. removing any password protection - given you know the password. But I kinda doubt that's what's meant with editor. And quite frankly, you can do most of what qpdf does more comfortably with tools like PDFSam or PDF Arranger. The latter even lets you crop pages or

rough a boat load of programs just to get a png? If ePub/mobi don't support svg, just create the PDF from LaTeX and convert e.g. on GUI with Inkscape or on CLI with ImageMagick). But for a book, I kinda doubt any of these solutions would be feasible. The chance of lots of issues is just too big
