The PDF format is very convenient. It allows you to use both text and images in documents, while maintaining their formatting, regardless of the program used for viewing. But there is one serious minus in this. So, if you do not have one of the special applications that are commonly called PDF editors, you will not be able to make any changes to the document. It is about such programs that we will discuss later.
Adobe Acrobat PRO
The PDF format was created specifically for this utility, therefore it is quite logical to use it for editing documents. Adobe Acrobat PRO has an intuitive interface, which takes relatively little time to familiarize yourself with. In addition, it is not only a PDF editor, but also a great converter from other formats.
Unfortunately, Adobe Acrobat PRO is distributed on a paid basis and costs more than 10,000 rubles. If you are not ready to part with such an amount, then you should pay attention to cheaper or completely free applications. You can also use the trial version of Adobe Acrobat, which takes 7 days to test.
Libre office
A free software package that includes the Writer application. This is a kind of analogue of Word from Microsoft, but focused on working with documents in PDF format. The program interface again resembles Word, so those users who worked in this text editor can easily figure it out.
Another advantage of Writer is that it is a PDF editor in Russian. Simply put, the language barrier will not be an obstacle to learning all the features of the application. Again, even if you don’t like the program, you can delete it from your computer at any time and you won’t lose anything.
Nitro reader
Another great PDF editor, which has a very high speed. The program has several tabs (you can work with several files at the same time), different document viewing modes, integration of a special extension into the browser (for working with online documents) and other useful tools. By the way, you can customize the interface for yourself, making it more convenient.
In addition, Nitro Reader can convert PDF to other formats, if you suddenly need it, and also supports the quick print function from the application menu. The program is free and supports the Russian language.
Conversion
If it doesn’t matter to you in what format the document will be saved as a result, then you can use not the PDF editor, but the so-called converter. A great example of such a program is FineReader.
The essence of this application is that you load a PDF file into it, and it automatically transforms into a Word document, which is much easier to work with. Just pay attention to the fact that performing this operation in the opposite direction will be much more difficult.
You can use for conversion not FineReader, but any other similar program. In most cases, the principle of its operation, if it differs, is not significant.
Online services
By the way, you can not install the PDF editor on your computer, but use one of the special online services for these purposes. Although they have a much smaller set of tools compared to desktop programs, they still cope with their main function - making changes to the document.
As an example, consider the PDF2GO service. First you need to go to its main page and then do the following:
- Click on the “Download” button and specify the path to the file you want to edit.
- Wait for the processing of the document.
- Use the tools that open to make the changes you need.
- Confirm edits.
After that, you just have to download the final document to your computer or send it to the cloud storage.
