So, "reduction" is hidden capability of Okular ! But there are the following:

1) there is no "Convert to bitmap" option in my Okular (version 1.6.2). So, is
this package building error from packager or it is feature in newer version ?
If it is new option in higher version then I can not decides till test it
because I'm afraid that "Convert to bitmap" will result in lowering the
resolution of PDF or remove OCR from it or convert it from format (text based)
PDF into scanned like PDF. Can you explain more about this?

2) currently reduction process is of many steps. To make it easer, you need to
add the following:

a- you should add a new annotation tool in the form of "Brash". In the setting
of "Brash" there should be the following:

- shape of Brash (circle or rectangle or square)
- color
- size (should be by default medium)

This is needed because currently user need to select "Free hand write" then set
annotation, then change it's size to be fit with size of area to be reduced ...
& due to no circle or square shape the annotation currently set over exact area
precisely ....

b- you should added new icon to be equal to [File -> Print (Ctrl+P)", choose
PDF printer, go to "Options -> PDF options", and check the "Convert to bitmap"]
so that clicking this icon will lead to achieve all these steps in one click
process. Let we call this new suggested icon "Flatten the document". 
This suggested icon you can make it not in toolbar by default & allow advanced
users to add them.

Please if you accept my suggestion allow me to open new issue "Improve eraser
options".

Regarding Inkscape & LibreOffice Draw, Inkscape have grave limitation that it
support edit only single page ! You have to edit page then save it then
re-insert it to original PDF & certainly you should delete original page, &
this should be repeated with all pages you like to edit !
Regarding LibreOffice Draw, it is not a PDF editor at all. It convert PDF into
vector image then working on it. Just after converting PDF into vector image it
will be no further a PDF editor. This is the talk of LO team with me within
issues that I opened about this.
