5 PDF Software Tools You Need when Working with Documents

This PDF software lets you create a PDF file from any application that offers a Print option. When you install this software, a virtual PDF printer called PDF24 is setup.

You can use the options in the assistant to view, save, send, or edit the PDF that you created. This tool also contains a component that lets you convert other document types and images to PDF using simple drag and drop options.
This tool has yet another awesome feature that lets you merge multiple multiple PDF files, split PDF files, extract specific pages and copy pages from PDF document to another. That’s not all.
