Paid and Free PDF Editor Tools to Help You Alter PDF Files Without a Sweat

April 28, 2014

Adobe’s popular PDF software was created to help present documents in a standard format, irrespective of the application in was created in. And in order to help consumers open and read such documents, the free Adobe Reader was made available. While all that worked great, there came a time when we needed to make edits to the files and the inability of the Reader to allow for that feature posed a problem. Luckily, Adobe made the PDF file format an open standard one and since then we have a variety of PDF related tools to help us do more with PDF files. In this post we take a look at some of the paid and free PDF editor tools that can help make PDF editing easy and convenient.

Popular PDF Editor Tools

Adobe XI Pro

Adobe’s very own PDF editor is a feature rich tool that comes with an expensive price tag. That said, you can not only edit text in a line, but you can move it around, resize text blocks and images, change fonts, apply vertical and horizontal line spaces and find and replace text too. New edits however don’t have a convenient way of being tracked. Another cool feature is the ability to save PDFs into Microsoft PowerPoint and edit them.
