SOLVED PDF Editing Software for Windows 10 ...

[Jim Andrews]

I'm looking for a really good and reliable PDF Editing software for Windows 10 ....

I want to be able to edit the text in PDF files, but keep the formatting and images.

I tried Soda PDF, but was only able to edit two PDF files.

What would you recommend ... ?

You'll get a heap of posts in this thread!
If you don't feel you want tp shell out for Office 2016 - definitely the most efficient, then,
for me, ableword (not abiword) Then you get a free processor thrown in for nothing.

Would Office 2016 allow me to edit PDF files ... ? I was considering purchasing Office 2016 ....

Office 2016 is totally brilliant at editing, printing or even producing PDF files from other documents

I guess you don't want to pay for Adobe Acrobat?

How much does Adobe Acrobat cost ... ?

Looks like Adobe Acrobat is now a subscription and $12.95 or $14.95 per month on an annual commitment.

The cost is somewhat less than the first I had to buy at about $45000 but that was in the late '90s, most of the Upgrades I did since then were around $150.00.

Might check out FoxIt, it may be more than just a reader.

$45000

OOPS, left out the period, should have been $450.00.

Well, Office 2016 at around +/- $200 us . Ableword free.
I haven't looked at the recommendation you had on another site - PDF Architect $59, but that seems a fair price if you want to actually buy.something

Good news ... !!! I finally got a reply from Soda PDF Anywhere, and got the application registered and working.

I purchased the full version, and now I can open up PDF files, like really old books from the 1800s, and open in Text Format and edit ... !!! This is exactly what I was looking for !!!

I have many PDF files, lots of books, and personal Journals, that need to be edited. So, this app really does allow editing text in PDF files. Well worth the $50.00.
