    Hi,

    I am not sure if this would be the correct section for this topic, but I need
    to edit text in an existing PDF document and I'm not sure how to do this without
    adode. I'd like to access a simple free pdf editing software but cannot seem to find
    one that works. Does anyone know how to do this easily.

    Much thanks in advance for any help.

    Looks like you are faced with a time is money tradeoff

    * spend time recreating the pdf
    * spend time looking for something that claims to edit and then fixing the things it breaks
    * buy the adobe software (used to be Illustrator) and get it done and move onto the next task

    Personally... just do it properly

    Foxit Editor is a lot cheaper (and faster) than Adobe Acrobat, but the only way to edit a pdf document is with SOME pdf editor. The other options include converting the document to Word, editing it and reconverting the Word doc to a pdf.

    The easiest way to edit the PDF. First open the Microsoft Word then Copy the whole content of the PDF and paste it to Microsoft Word then you can edit it there... To make the Edited Content.. in the microsoft word click file then click save as in the open window u can see "save as type:" then choose PDF... and thats it you are good to go
