Get from App Store
Most of the PDF editors come with the price tag but some will edit PDF free of cost. A good free PDF Editor will let you edit any kind of text, images, graphics or charts present in the PDF file. And a good freeware PDF editor should not install malwares or have built-in Ads in the programs. However, most of the freeware PDF editors don’t provide the professional features such as adding new text or modifying the scanned PDF files on your computer. Here’s the list of the best free PDF editors with the best features.
The very first program is the Wondershare PDFelement which is available for both Windows and Mac OS X. This free PDF editor has a minimalistic user-interface with all the advance features to create, edit, convert or protect PDF files. You can either add new text in the PDF file or can edit the already present text in the PDF file and by editing means you can even change the font size of the text in the PDF file. Similarly, all the images present in the PDF files can also be edited; you can resize them, crop them, extract them or rotate them in any direction.
Another unique feature is the presence of the OCR feature to edit the text in scanned images. You can also convert the edited PDF files to many famous formats such as image, documents, PPT, XLSX or even the HTML. When the OCR feature is enabled while converting a PDF document, it will convert the scanned image into editable word file.
