PDF Reader/Editor

Postby Mandrake » May 2nd, '10, 17:20



I'm sure someone not too long ago posted a link to a free PDF reader which could aslo edit PDFs but I don't seem to be able to find it. Can anyone help?

Openoffice is good for exporting to PDF. I don't think it can read them though. I often find a Word file does the trick nicely anyway

Either Google Docs or http://www.nitropdf.com/free/hammer/index.htm should do the job.

You can use Inkscape for creating and editing PDFs if you want an installed app to do the job.

Just found this.

I use a pdf editor for linux. looks like it's been converted to windows. Nice small packege.

I think Kolm was getting at this, but for creating PDFs, just make a word document and look up word to pdf converter online! :)

Cute PDF is good for making PDFs you install it and then i acts as a printer. so make up document in what ever program you want to use. print it but select cute PDF as the printer and there you go.

I'm OK for creating PDFs from several other applications, what I wanted to do was to be able to edit an existing PDF but only on rare occasions so no point in buying full Adobe Acrobat.
