These are great, but is there a free application that will let me edit a PDF ? I don’t have the “pay” software that will allow me to open it and edit it. I have permission to open the PDF so I can change the phone numbers and address on an ad, but I can’t see paying for the advanced adobe software to open in. Any ideas ?

Sorry, I am still to find one. :-)

Not sure if Foxit does this? IMO it’s a better choice to Adobe on a PC; renders pages much much quicker and has (at least) all the features of Adobe.

Foxit is a free and quicker alternative to Adobe Reader. As far as I know, there is no ‘editing’ feature in the free option.

Actually there is a very good tool called X-Change pdf viewer that can view, and edit PDFs with ease. Just go to http://www.download.com and look for it or google it. Trust me, it works.

Hope this helps

X-change PDF Viewer works very good for viewing and editing, and it is free

P.S. I hope I did not write the comment twice

Hi! I am looking for an app that will allow me to show PDF files directly in the web page, without having to discharge the PDF to the machine..

Many thanks,

Miguel
