Free PDF editor

[Fsappo]

Anyone know of a trusted free PDF editor? Nothing fancy, I just want to change some text on a form.

Thanks in advance

I think you can get a 30 day free trial with Acrobat. I am not aware of any freeware PDF editors, however. Would be cool though...

I got mine pretty cheap off ebay a few years back.

Some wordprocessing software includes a pdf editor or it can be added at a low price.

There are a number of online editors that will allow you to fill-in forms.

I need to take a PDF that was emailed to me and change some things around. It happens so rarely that it didn't make sense to buy a program....yet

Depending on the length of the form, an easy or tedious way is to open the .pdf with the Adobe Reader, click File/Save As Other, and pick the text option. Then open the text file with Word or something like that and reformat the text to look like the original, but with the text changes you want. If the form has graphics on it, this won't work, as saving the .pdf as text won't save that, I don't think.

Dick, went that route and the doc does have graphics. I guess its do without or some day get editing software. Thanks. Lords of the forum, I grant permission to close this thread!
