Without PDF as a “standard”, I would need to publish in plain text only in order to be assured that every recipient could read what I wrote. Then I can email or post my document with the assurance that every reader will have the correct software to access it. Once in a great while I will compose a document in WordPerfect and export it to PDF. I either read them, or fill in a PDF form and return it, like a tax return. It’s rare to none for me to need to edit somebody else’s PDF. Sumatra will read but not write on and save PDF fill-in-the-form files.
A very handy and widely adopted standard, especially once the US Government started using it for everything they publish.įor those rare occasions when I must fill in a form, that is to say write data into a PDF to be saved or returned to somebody, I reluctantly use the old original Adobe Reader, which gives me the least trouble of all the PDF writing applications of which I am aware. They are searchable, printable if I need hard copy, etc. I have thousands of PDF files stored here. Wikipedia allows creating a PDF on the fly from any of their millions of encyclopedia articles. Most of my PDF usage is read-only, for such things as automobile owner’s manuals, government publications, company invoices, newspapers, magazines and periodicals, public domain books, and much more. My main PDF reader is Sumatra, which is very nicely made. And once you do it a few times it is fast (PDF-XChange Viewer lets you append numbers to file names so a snap to sort even hundreds of images in correct page order, Irfanview will batch process hundreds of images in little time, and PDFill Tools lets you drag as many image files as you want into it to convert the images into a single pdf, and preserves image quality without degradation. Unlike other methods that convert all pages to smudgy low quality jpg files, I can get excellent image quality and small file size, and if I want, can OCR the document after it is reassembled into a pdf, all using free tools, and get better results than with fancy pricy software. To reduce file size of massive pdf documents, I export the pdf to images, use Irfanview to batch rework the images, then reassemble as a pdf using PDFill PDF Tools (Free).

And you can download a no-installation-required portable version. Lets you insert hyperlinks, insert images/signatures, does an excellent job of OCR (set it to high quality), lets you export pdfs to images while allowing you to control file size by raising or lowering resolution and image format, changing color indexing, and much, much more. Yes, PDF-XChange Viewer is my go-to pdf viewer, and editor in some respects.

The options are quite extensive and give users full control over the process. Selecting export as PDF opens the PDF options. If you don't, you end up saving the document as an ODG file, the default format that LibreOffice Draw uses. Once you are done editing the document you need to select "export as PDF" from the File menu. You can click on any position to add, edit or delete text, and even use advanced features such as inserting images, changing the formatting or adding tables.
The editing works exactly how you'd expect it to, however.
