You guys rock!! I’m always finding fun and useful tools from this blog! Welcome to the new writers
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.
[...] Pdfhammer instead of Acrobat reader. ( Read a review on this here [...]
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.
