  • FREE PDF EDITORS... In the past I’ve talked about free PDF viewers like Foxit and Sumatra PDF Reader. For editing PDF files, many have asked what are the best free options to edit PDF’s? While there is no free editor with the full feature set of a paid program like Adobe Acrobat Pro, the 5 PDF editors I show you in this video just might be all that you need to edit your PDF files for free.

    I need a PDF editor this is best suited to export to excel, paid or free. Excel power query is supposed to read PDF'S and import the data into excel however it does not work wtih "unstructured invoices". Because of this, I need the best PDF exporter. BTW: I tried Adobe but it does not keep the line items of an invoice on the saem line making it very difficult/time comsuimg to fix. There has to be better!?

      Ok , CAUTION tho👍. MY test :
      Is it On Line or "Browser-Based" ? The installer MIGHT be "DOWNLOADABLE" , but "Browser-Based" and "FREE" is a RED FLAG , and _SHOULD BE_ for ANYONE concerned that in "FREE" _THEY_ are the sale-able "PRODUCT" . I will NEVER use ANY "On-Line" or "Browser-Based" service , as most if not ALL are *DOCUMENT DATA MINING SERVICES* , _"YOUR"_ Document NO LONGER being "YOURS" , no _matter_ the "claims" to the contrary in their HAPPY-FACE Front landing pages .
      ONLY _OFFLINE_ *DOWNLOADABLE* versions that would run _and _*_SAVE_* COMPLETELY on my own system are acceptable . China , NSA , FBI , CIA , etc., have NO right to MY DATA , no MATTER the pretense at "Security" promised , even WITH _THEIR "Super-GREAT *ENCRYPTION"_ .

      @AbhishekBM 6 місяців тому +4

      Nah, Inkscape is better
      I have tried in Libre office draw multiple times, but when opening a pdf many things are wrongly positioned.
      I had to edit a payslip recently (ethically of course) and this time I tried Inkscape instead. And the result was pixel perfect
      Only downside is that it is slow for pdf files with many pages since it loads all the pages at once

      @@AbhishekBM - OP used the word most in his statement, so still holds. Also, although Inkscape is awesome (!!!), I can't imagine teaching it to my parents, whereas I could see them learn Libre Draw. So it has more features, but not better.
