Best PDF Editors - Page 2
Portable document formats (PDF) editors help make changes to PDF documents. This can include editing text, adding or removing images, and changing the document's layout. PDFs are images of documents, as opposed to editable text files (such as a Word document). The best PDF editors help convert PDFs into live, editable documents, supporting quick creation and editing.
There are various types of PDF editor software. Some tools have all-in-one use cases where users can edit text and images within PDFs, resize, rearrange, split, or merge multiple PDF files, password-protect files, sign forms electronically, etc. Other solutions have only a few functionalities, such as splitting, merging, or compressing PDFs. The software benefits various users, especially those who frequently work with contracts, invoices, online forms, resumes, and reports. It also allows users to save time converting paper records into digital ones. Users of PDF editors include salespeople, realtors, recruiters, and HR employees. For example, a salesperson can use this software to create and alter contract templates for each customer.
These solutions should not be confused with document creation software, which is suitable for editable text files like Microsoft Word. PDF editors often include password protection to view and edit documents and designated fields, as opposed to document creation software, which is collaborative and allows any user to edit any part of the document. PDF editor software often integrates with other office software, such as document scanning software and PDF converters.
