To give a final assessment of each application, let's briefly describe them again key features. Let's start with unusual solutions.

Movavi PDF Editor You can’t call it the most common editor, but there were no other utilities intended exclusively for home use in our selection. The main advantages of this software are ease of use, speed and low price.

Wondershare PDF Editor not popular in the CIS, but consistently ranks high and receives the best ratings from Western experts. There is no Russian-language localization, but the inconvenience is compensated by an impressive set useful features and additional options, lightning-fast speed of applying changes in comparison with the popular products of Abby and Adobe.

Soda PDF looks like a breath of fresh air among the template solutions. The authors are not afraid to experiment and add new things, but do not forget to “finish” the main functions and options to 100% quality and convenience. Extra options you will also like it. You just have to try it.

ABBYY PDF Transformer And Adobe Acrobat Pro DC– popular, well-promoted and far from cheap applications. They are designed for the corporate segment, but require powerful hardware to operate, so it is better to install something lightweight on office PCs with WinXP. Each product has its own “trick”.

For Adobe Acrobat Pro is a “smart” cloud with customizable access parameters and online editor, where you can change the text and put notes. PDF Transformer known for its high-quality recognition and translation of text from images, a large number of formats for correct conversion.

Foxit Advanced PDF Editor will not please fans of free software. Yes, developers give out a high-quality viewer for free, but for a pdf creator they ask for a lot of money, by our standards. Nitro PDF Reader And Master PDF Editor look like decent but cheaper alternatives. In many ways they are even superior to the program from Foxit.

You may ask why we said that Nitro PDF Reader costs less, although in fact the prices differ almost twice in favor of Foxit. The point is that the editors Nitro Pro Sold for $160 for 10 machines, this is a great option for a small office. Just S16 per license - pennies!

Infix PDF Editor surprises with an interesting approach to the interface. It is beautiful and pleasant, but not overloaded. The functions are also good, but something is missing. Fortunately, the project continues to develop.

The list of programs could be supplemented with PDFsam, Sejda PDF Editor 5.5 and others interesting solutions, but we will devote a separate article to them. And if you don't want to download software to your computer, try any free online pdf editor. Of course, its functionality will be worse, but the actions necessary for ordinary users (merge, split, trim files, extract pictures, etc.) online services, as a rule, supports. For owners of machines running MacOS and Linux, this is almost the only free option for working with pdf.

The PDF format is the most popular and convenient for saving documents before printing or simply reading them. It is impossible to list all its advantages, but there are also disadvantages. For example, it cannot be opened or edited by any standard means in the operating room Windows systems. However, there are programs that allow you to change files of this format, and we will look at them in this article.

The first software on our list will be software from the well-known company Adobe, which has several interesting features. It is intended solely for viewing and minor editing of PDF files. It is possible to add a note or highlight part of the text with a certain color. Acrobat Reader is available for a fee, however trial version available for download for free on the official website.

Foxit Reader

The next representative will be a program from development giants. The functionality of Foxit Reader includes opening PDF documents and installing stamps. In addition, it works with scanned documents, displays information about what has been written, and does a lot more useful actions. The main advantage of this software is that it is distributed completely free of charge without any restrictions on functionality. However, there are also disadvantages, for example, text recognition is not supported, as in the previous representative.

PDF-Xchange Viewer

This software is very similar to the previous one, both in functionality and appearance. It also has a lot of additional features, including text recognition, which is not available in Foxit Reader. You can open, edit and convert documents into the required format. PDF-Xchange Viewer is completely free and can be downloaded from the official website of the developers.

Infix PDF Editor

The next representative on this list will be a not very well-known program from a young company. It is not clear what is causing this low popularity software, because it contains everything that is present in the previous software solutions, and even a little more. For example, a translation function has been added here, which is not available at all in either Foxit Reader or Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. Infix PDF Editor is equipped with other useful tools, which may be needed when editing PDF, but there is a big “but”. The program is paid, although it has a demo version with minor limitations in the form of a watermark.

Nitro PDF Professional

This program is somewhere between Infix PDF Editor and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC both in popularity and functionality. It also contains everything you need when editing PDF files. It is distributed for a fee, but a trial version is available. In demo mode, no watermarks or stamps are applied to the edited text, and all tools are open. However, it will only be free for a few days, after which you will have to buy it for further use. This software has the ability to send documents by mail, compare changes, optimize PDFs and much more.

PDF Editor

This software has a hugely different interface from all the previous ones on this list. It is made extremely inconveniently, it seems overloaded and difficult to understand. But if you understand the program, you will be pleasantly surprised by its extensive functionality. It is equipped with several nice bonuses that are extremely useful in certain situations. For example, installing security with advanced settings. Yes, the security of a PDF file is not its key property, but compared to the protection provided in previous software, there are simply amazing settings in this area. PDF Editor is licensed, but you can try it for free with few restrictions.

VeryPDF PDF Editor

VeryPDF PDF Editor does not stand out too much from its previous representatives. It has everything you need for this type of program, but there is a special detail worth paying attention to. As you know, one of the disadvantages of PDFs is their large weight, especially with the increased quality of the images in it. However, with the help of this program you can forget about this. There are two functions here that will reduce the size of documents. The first does this by removing unnecessary elements, and the second by compression. The disadvantage of the program, again, is that in the demo version a watermark is applied to all edited documents.

Foxit Advanced PDF Editor

Another representative from Foxit. There is a basic set of functions typical for this type of program. Among the advantages, I would like to note the convenient interface and Russian language. A good and focused tool that provides users with everything they need to edit PDF files.

Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

Adobe Acrobat brings everything together best qualities programs on this list. The biggest disadvantage is the extremely stripped-down trial version. The program has a very nice and user-friendly interface that adapts individually to the user. In addition, there is a convenient panel for viewing all tools, it is available under a specific tab. The program also has a colossal variety of features, most of them, as mentioned earlier, are opened only after purchase.

Here is the entire list of programs that will allow you to edit PDF documents as you please. Most of them have a demo version with a trial period of several days or with limited functionality. We recommend that you carefully analyze each representative, identify all the necessary tools for yourself, and then proceed to purchase.
