Free PDF Editor is a piece of software that allows you to create and edit PDFs absolutely for free. PDFs are convenient files that can be read by almost any digital system, but not everyone has the ability to simply create a PDF, and even fewer people can edit PDFs due to the image-based nature of the format. Word documents and spreadsheets from Excel might be easy to change, but that's only because those file types are meant to change. PDFs aren't typically designed to be edited.

Perhaps a better name for this app would be Free PDF Creator since it primarily creates PDF files, but it does come with many editing options that you won't find in other PDF readers. The UI for the software is straightforward, and you can use it to edit text, graphics, and photos in a format that's reminiscent of digital publishing.

To create a PDF, you must drag and drop the components you want included in the blank file. You can then resize and manipulate the elements so they flow as you would like them. For instance, if you wanted to make your brand's logo appear larger, you could do so, and you could shrink the annoying fine print.

Free PDF Editor is perfect for creating promo flyers, brochures, invitations, business documents, official forms, and anything else that you can imagine. It doesn't matter why you need a PDF, if you have compatible content in another file format, you can get the job done with this software. Thanks to the free licensing of the software, you can take advantage of its power for either commercial or personal utility.

It's not difficult to figure out how to use this software since it has a lot of explanations and hints throughout. You can easily add text by searching for the option through the main menu or simply pressing the Insert Text button on the toolbar. Once you've entered your text, you can alter it in a number of ways. You can change the size of the text, the color, and the font. The software also gives the freedom to move the text for optimal placement.

With the Insert Image function, you can select photos from your system and add them to the new PDF. Most standard photo formats will work, including PNG, JPEG, JPG, BMP, and GIF. After you've positioned and altered everything to your liking, you can finalize the PDF by clicking the Create PDF button.

If you need to generate professional PDFs using an A4 size, this tool is more than capable of handling the task. You can change the layout to set up columns, and you can create PDFs with multiple pages. If you want to change any of the PDF properties, you can do so with this software.
