Can anyone explain why no one seems to be able to produce a free pdf editor that actually edits any pdf document? Every free "pdf editor" that I have ever downloaded has turned out to be nothing but an annotator. Surely there must be someone, other than Adobe, that can do this?

Thanks Carl, I will stick with the free ones and give this a miss.

Hi guys! I installed on both partitions (Win 10 & Win8.1.2) The program comes up in both & it did open a number of PDF files - Saving the files was another matter - NONE of the files saved the changes that were made & it was very difficult to see changes - I need to get more versent in this before chopping it off altogether. So, I am going to give it a try over the next few days. For those that don't know - both of my partitions are physical & not virtual, so changes made "actually" effect my computer & I am not seeing any great changes in the reg - so Thank You GAOTD and Win PDF Editor for today's offering & I will see you tomorrow. Bye for now.

Downloaded this software to give a try...But I felt that it was completely time waste...I didn't like product UI and clumsy features... Nothing for me today...

Unable to work with it in MAC.
"Return" does not acts, making the app non usable.

I like it! Played with it, works good. One wish: Have a high lighter capability.

Does not edit. You can 'write on' adding lines, shapes and text boxes to a pdf but as an overlay.

The usual confusion here between PDF editor and PDF annotator. An annotator allows you to ADD things and then edit those additions. The additions are called annotations. An editor allows you to edit the original document, most notably the text. Many annotators are free. I don't know of any full editors that are free.

Problems installing had to go companies website to download, that installed and registered without problems.

Downloaded and kept this the last time it was offered and have occasions found it useful as an “editor” in that it was possible to delete and to add text and simple graphics.

If I want to convert PDF files I have found that by far the best way is by means of ABBYY OCR.
This takes advantage of the fact that converting PDF to an image is very simple and then uses OCR to convert to an editable format.

In essence it is a useful program as a simple editor, it is pretty useless as a converter as are most programs and I will be keeping it, but I would not pay for it as it stands.

Successfully installed and registered on on a Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit System.
A software with many options to "change/edit" a pdf document.
An intuitive software/GUI. Everything is right there, in front of you, when you open the document to be worked upon.

In the short Export to Word document test, a two page pdf document with one drawing was exported minus the drawing, to a Word document with a WordPad/NotePad look/feel.



You can only Edit (font/colour size ect.) what you add in, not the original contents.


Suggestions to the developer of this software, simple/intuitive as this software is...
1) Add a help file.
2) Enable editing of the original pdf document.
3) Enable creation of search index for pdf documents.

Thank You GAOTD and Win PDF Editor for this software.

Hi tried a very simple thing: adding some text on top of an image-based pdf. Another editor I have handles this successfuly.

This doesn't. It doesn't operate in WYSIWYG mode, but after a couple of clicks offers a pop-up box. Entering text in this and closing the box leaves a small box with no text on it on top of the original pdf.

Finally, quitting the program produces the inimitable ungrammatical message:

'Are you sure to quit?'

I'm fairly sure, then, this is a Chinese authored program.

Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system. Many registry entries due to an old active-x : MSCOMCTL.OCX

We had had a previous version Win PDF Editor 2.0.4 on January 4, 2014. Here are the old reviews:

Upon start a splsh screen give you the choice to "edit" a PDF or to convert.

For conversion from PDF to other formats, it uses the obsolete and never working EXE from 2006

As expected, the software cannot convert even simple PDF files. Useless! The default output is still : c:\output...

To the so called "edit" function. This is not editing the true PDF text, it is creating an image, which overlays the unchanged PDF content. If you "delete" something in the PDF file, it means an overlay of a blank text image. The text under the image can be read whenever you want:

Does what it claims? No, it isn't a PDF editor, in isn't a working PDF converter. Think what you want.

Uninstalled via reboot.
