| 1439277 | 2017-09-18 06:48:00 | I used to have a good PDF reader which included editing functions as default, but somehow its disappeared and Adobe Reader has taken its place. I can't recall what it was. Any recommendations please? | Greg (193) | ||
| 1439278 | 2017-09-18 12:26:00 | Foxit Reader is good and has a certain amount of editing capability. Use version 7 for W7, V8 for W8&10. They both have PDF printers. If you just want a simple reader with no printer use V4.5, which is compatible with W10. W10 has a PDF printer included. Chrome and Edge browsers both read PDF. There are several extension/apps for Chrome which read, edit, and more. |

Adobe has a habit of taking over everything if you're not careful. Editing ? do you mean actually removing text /pictures or just typing ( as when filling in forms) ? |

| 1439280 | 2017-09-20 06:37:00 | Probably a bit late to the party, But, if you didn't uninstall the old program, right click on any PDF and select "open with" and it should give you a list of all programs on your computer that can open it, and hopefully you'll see the one that can edit it. | Morgenmuffel (187) | ||

Theres another way -if you have Word 2016 or Office 365, you can open the PDF in that, it then converts it back to a Word Document, you edit it like any other word document, then resave back to PDF. Other Office software may be able to do the same - I don't know. Only Know MS word can. |

| 1439283 | 2017-09-21 10:47:00 | Thanks. I'll try that next time, but meanwhile the trial of Phantom did the trick. | Greg (193) | ||
