    Free / simple PDF editor

    I’m looking for a free (not web-based) free pdf editor. I don’t need to create fancy stuff, just simply edit existing text in files and import pages. Simple stuff.

    Any recommendations? Most good ones out there cost over $100.

    PDF-XChange free version if you insert another pdf into it will put a watermark on the pages. It's $43.50. Might be worth it, but checking if there are other suggestions that are better.

    Do you need to do anything other than edit existing text and import/delete/re-arrange pages?

    Do you already have Microsoft Word, and if yes, which version?

    Do your .pdf files have images in them?

    Thanks! I'll go through your list and look for something. I do have Office. So Word is 2007. I tried to open a pdf and it didn't work.

    I tried in PDF-XChange to simply move an image to the right a space and it required the purchased version for just that.

    My pdf's do have images in them. Yes, mainly just edit, import, re-arange pages, bookmarks.

    A later version of Word might be able to do what you need, but that would cost $$$. For a totally free solution, you may need more than one program. To replace text, a Hex Editor can probably do that, but it may not be as easy to use as something else. To add, remove, and rearrange pages without a watermark, you may need a paid solution.

    I was afraid of that. Was hoping...

    Do you like PDF-XChange? At work I have a paid version of Nitro Pro and FoxIt.

    Thanks! Good to know. I ended up paying a little bit for PDF-Echange Editor Plus. It meets all of my needs that I have.
