I'm trying to fill out a pdf form, using Preview on a Mac. It works okay, except that when I go back to it later, to alter stuff, it won't let me DELETE bits of text that I've added.
Anyone know of an Editor that actually edits? (Editing isn't just adding words, imo).
I'd like a free one, of course.
Thanks.
Adobe is a virus.
Yeah, but Adobe did invent the PDF format.
A lot of browsers can do the basics, and a free tool is an option as well. They are an annoying bloating slow programme that hogs resources, and loves to undo locking of the update process. I'm sure it was AI before AI was invented it's so controlling.
@Protractor: Many moons ago I used to use Foxit to edit PDFs, I think I used a pirate version of that too. Must have been decades ago now that I think about it…

If fully editing, open in incognito, since otherwise it will only allow 1 edit per day or so
I see ilovepdf is an online editor. I want a standalone editor that I can use offline.
These features are typically reserved for paid versions of PDF editors. Either sail the high seas or pony up.
That's what I thought…
So, do you recommend any particular paid version? One where you don't have to "subscribe" to a site to get it?
PDF Xchange Editor is free and does this
Great app but Windows only.
Bluebeam has a 2 week trial that you can keep renewing with a new account.
Thanks guys, but I found an old Foxit Reader on an old laptop I forgot I had. Good to go.
Cheers.
Now you can say…
Where the foxit gone?
For fox ache!
I was going to send you a DM????? But can't. ;)
Dunno why that is…. ???
Libre office has a free editor
Has it? I've got Libre. I'll check it out. Thanks.
But Foxit is doing what I want for the time being.
You could pirate a copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro. It's on Broken Stones if you're a member.
