You can manipulate the size of a body of text. The backspace and delete keys work like they normally do in a typical text editor, and you can use the mouse to highlight words, letters and other characters. Working with PDFs: Using the Edit Document Text tool, you position the cursor at the point in the document where you want to insert new text, and type. A sidebar along the left side of your document has icons that let you open side or bottom panels to display thumbnails of the document's pages, its bookmarks, digital signatures that have been signed to it, comments provided by people and any files attached to it. User interface: Documents loaded into Acrobat take up a main viewing area. It also removes "hidden" information in the document that could create privacy or problems.Īdobe also sells two other versions: Acrobat X Pro ($449), which adds features for high-end print production and Acrobat X Suite $1,199) which adds multimedia features such as Photoshop image editing and video encoding. The new version offers several features not available in Acrobat 9 Standard, including a Reading Mode that hides everything except the document itself and the menu bar, the ability to more easily convert Office documents to PDFs, and a streamlined interface. It's the lowest-price option among the three versions of Acrobat that allow you to change around words and graphics in PDF documents (the free Adobe Acrobat Reader only lets you view PDFs, not edit them).
I tested them on two Dell laptops: one equipped with a 1.86-GHz Pentium M processor, 4GB of RAM and Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) the other with a 2.2-GHz Pentium Dual-Core processor, 2GB of RAM and Windows Vista Business (32-bit).Īcrobat X Standard ($299) is the basic version of Acrobat. All of the competitors cost $99.99, considerably less than Acrobat. However, Acrobat is not inexpensive prices begin at $299 for the Standard version.įor this roundup, I compared Adobe Acrobat X Standard (the latest version of the application, which will be released within the next few weeks) to these three competing applications: Foxit PDF Editor 2.2, Nitro PDF Professional 6 and Nuance PDF Converter Professional 7. The best-known tool is, of course, Adobe Acrobat, and no wonder: Adobe Systems created the PDF standard. But what if you have a job where you need to make new PDFs and your sources are already-created PDF documents? Or if you need to update your company's finished PDFs? The choice of applications that actually allow you to change a PDF after it was created is more limited. There is certainly no lack of tools - ones that are good and free - to help you create PDF documents.
