May I suggest Master PDF Editor? It’s proprietary, and I think you may need to pay for some of the features, but I’ve used it for years and have generally been pretty happy with it. An open source alternative that I’m not as familiar with is PDF4QT, which is still a bit rough around the edges last time I checked.
As far as Wine goes, I have never gotten it to work with any Adobe product, ever, period. If you really need to use Adobe stuff, I suggest using it from a Virtual Machine with Windows.

I stopped recommending Master PDF Editor when I realised they were trying to lock me in with letting me know after the event that watermarks would be added. PDF4QT is aekward in many ways but the latest version has the best compression, even allowing you to select one-by-one which images will be compressed and how. Other options for editing are local Stirling PDF and BentoPDF. Both run in docker, but Stirling PDF also comes as Appimage. They are powerful but don’t feel like integrated applications.
