JaiMaai Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Can anyone recommend a good free PDF creator / editor program. I just can't afford the full Adobe Acrobat package. I need something that will convert word documents and the allow basic text editing of the the PDF and page sorting etc. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristianBlessing Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 If you use a relatively current word processor it likely has the ability to save a file as a PDF. You won't be able to edit it but you can certainly edit the original document and save to PDF when you've got it right.Sent from my ASUS Chromebook Flip C100PA using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpower Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Only ever used Acrobat but found a link that might help http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/feature/software/how-edit-pdf-documents-for-free-3653069/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaiMaai Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 The Able Word app described in the link sounds useful. I'll check it out when I get some time. Just now I'm using the 7 day trial with Acrobat to get what I need to do done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungbing Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I just use MS Word to create and edit the document then save it as .pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC1 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 At work on my windows machine I use 'PDF 24' for merging, splitting & compressing PDF files. This is free and does the job with a fairly straight forward interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I use OpenOffice which allows saving as PDF. I use FoxIt Reader which allows some simple functions (like text additions) to existing PDFs. Nice to use with immigration forms in PDF format (I don't use the word versions). And FoxIt also comes with a PDF printer driver which allows about any document/picture etc. be saved as PDF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxx Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 15 hours ago, ChristianBlessing said: If you use a relatively current word processor it likely has the ability to save a file as a PDF. You won't be able to edit it but you can certainly edit the original document and save to PDF when you've got it right. There's a particular format of PDF that embeds the original document so it can subsequently be edited. It's certainly supported in LibreOffice under "File", "Export as PDF", then on the "General" tab in the "General" section, "Embed OpenDocument File". I presume that other wordprocessors have comparable support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
