Some of these are pretty much fully featured despite being trial versions.

Acrobat Writer Free Apps That

There are free apps that make it easy to edit text in a PDF, including adding your signature, adding comments, and redacting information.

You can also combine lots of PDFs, rotate pages, reduce the size, and even convert PDFs to Word, Excel and other file types.

For example, if you want a PDF editor that can use OCR (optical character recognition) to read the text on a page you have scanned, and allow you to edit it, we have an option that can allow you to do that.

Alternatively, if you are looking for a PDF editor thats simple to use and flexible enough to let you fill in a form without pulling out your hair, we have one below.

We have even found a PDF tool that will let you import a PDF into Word (or Pages) and edit it there.

Its got some limitations but its likely to offer enough tools for you if you just need to fill in some responses to questions on a PDF.

It can be a bit fiddly to get the text box to line up with the text on the page, but its not impossible.

It turns out these options are also available from the highlighter palette.

Just click on the bar on the left-hand side to shuffle pages.

So if you are trying to fill in an application form or filling in a few yes or no checkboxes, its likely to be sufficient.

Those wanting a little more flexibility may find that Preview might not have enough features.

Here you will also find the options to add a tick or a cross, a circle, or a line.

The signature option is here too, well look at that in more detail below.

A stamp tool with options like Approved, Revised, Confidential, Sign Here, and the option to import your own (these need to be in the PDF format, but it could be a way to add an image).

If you opt for the latter you could import a scan or photograph of your signature - you can import any image this way, but it will appear translucent, with the background appearing behind it as you can see from our illustration.

It can be a tad annoying when it looks like you need to get a subscription to use features that it turns out can be performed without signing up, so beware of this before you spend.

Under Annotate you will find the tool to easily add text to the PDF.

Here you have the option to edit text, add images, add hyperlinks, and redact sensitive information (you can choose to black out names, or you can search for a specific word and delete every occurrence of that.).

But as we found with all the PDF editors here, it wasnt possible to drag and drop text between pages (to get around this we were able to cut and paste though and still make a good-looking document).

Here you will find options to highlight, underline, or strike-through text, as well as a pan tool that means you can draw freehand in any colour, as well as change the line width and opacity.

In Annotate you can also add sticky notes and stamps (e.g.

These annotations can be exported as HTML, text or markdown.
