.PDF Editing Software?

Question

Is there freeware out there for this purpose? Also, how can you highlight portions of a .pdf doc? Do you have to purchase the entire Adobe suite?

Answer 1

you can find freeware and shareware programs to create PDF files (which is what you need).

This one is open source and free:

More freeware and shareware:

http://www.novapdf.com/
http://www.jawspdf.com/pdf_creator/...
http://www.pdf995.com/


You can create them online here:
https://createpdf.adobe.com/

Hope this all helps.

Answer 2

Most of the programs people have suggested are for creating PDF files but none of them can edit a PDF file, which is what you asked. I own a website that sells a PDF Writer (http://www.nowpdf.com) and it can not edit a PDF file but I make it my business to know as much as I can about all the PDF Tools and software available.

When it comes to editing PDF files, Adobe Acrobat is not only the most expensive (about $300), it isn't even the best. Adobe Acrobat makes editing and highlighting difficult. Most programs that can do what you are looking for are around $80 to $150. The best for your needs are NitroPDF, PDF Converter Professtional by Nuance Software, or VeryPDF Editor. See the list of resources below for websites.
