The commonplace PDF format remains a great way to quickly compile and publish electronic information. The hard part comes when you try to change anything inside the PDF: They aren’t really designed for editing, and you need special software to tweak the content. That’s why we’ve got the best three options for how to edit a PDF when you really need to make important changes.

Using Adobe Acrobat

The PDF format was created by Adobe, so it makes sense to turn to Adobe Acrobat apps when editing PDF files. To use this method, you will need access to Adobe Document Cloud (DC). If your company/budget already pays for an Adobe subscription, this is no problem — just go into Acrobat and follow the steps. If you have a one-off PDF project that you really need to edit, you can start a free trial of Adobe DC and gain temporary access to the tools you need without investing in long-term costs.

Step 1: In Adobe Acrobat, head to File and Open the PDF file that you want to edit. The content should appear in your Acrobat window.

Step 2: Look for the Edit PDF tool, which should be a selection in the right-side selection of tools. Select it to move to an interactive mode that allows you to select PDF content.

Step 3: Make your changes. You can edit text, look for spelling errors, resize most elements (use the Objects tools here), and much more. Background, Link, Header and other toolsets all apply here, allowing you to pretty much edit whatever you want.

It’s also worth noting that Adobe has mobile app versions of this software if you need to work on the go. The app is also one of the best options if you need to print a PDF.

Note: If you don’t mind paying for a more permanent version of the service, prices for the standard version start at $15 per month — there is no permanent license option if you want to edit PDFs. There is also a free PDF viewer version of the software with far, far fewer capabilities if you’re more interested in just viewing PDF content than changing it.

Alternative apps

Third-party apps provide a variety of fast PDF editing options as an alternative to Adobe Acrobat. They’re usually free and are available to use or download with a quick trip to your browser.

While these tools are more limited than Adobe’s offering, they are an ideal solution for simpler edits or edits away from other, more reliable software.

PDFsam

If your goal is to move around PDF pages to form more complex documents, then PDFsam is all you need. It’s an extraction tool that you can use to pull out and switch around any PDF pages within a file or between various PDF files to build the document that you need. You can split PDFs via bookmark, size, or customized page limit, and rotate pages as necessary.

PDFsam’s layout is simple and easy to understand for beginners. However, it deals solely in moving content around your PDFs; which is useful when publishing larger documents and creating outgoing PDF messages quickly. It’s not much good, however, if you want to dive down deep and alter colors, fix resolution, address spelling mistakes, and so on. There is an enhanced version of the software that adds more editing functions in an additional free download, but this option is more complex, and will take longer for newcomers to learn. If you are only interested in merging many PDFs together, check out the best software for merging.

PDF Xchange

This free download comes with the PDF-Xchange Editor which provides a long list of things you can do to PDF pages — in some ways even more complete than Adobe Acrobat. You can split, merge, edit, spell check, translate to other languages, add comments, and insert external links. The software also includes plugins for Javascript engines, file backups, image embedding, custom stamps, working with Google Drive, and a whole other set of features that are included when you buy an advanced license.

In other words, you can probably find the right tool to do exactly what you want to a PDF file. The downside is that it might take a while to learn and locate precisely what you need, especially when first using the software.

Sejda online PDF editor

If you don’t fancy downloading any particular software to edit a PDF, online editors like Sejda are perfect. It allows editing of existing text within a PDF, digital signing, white-outing, adding images and shapes, and annotating text too.

There are some limitations to the service, such as a maximum of 200 pages for editable PDFs and it won’t handle PDFs larger than 50MB in size. If you want additional functionality, though, there are subscription packages available which open up unlimited pages and PDF size, as well as access to the desktop application.

Converting the PDF file

The last option is available if you aren’t comfortable with PDFs or if you need to do a lot of detailed work without learning new apps. Convert the PDF into a different format and work on it in software that is more comfortable or more suited to your needs. The most basic way to do this is in the word processing application you already use, whether that’s Microsoft Word or Google Docs. While that can get the job done, the issue is that PDF conversion can be hit or miss, especially in these basic word processing applications. Things like markups, fonts, and formatting may all be different.

We suggest starting with a dedicated PDF converter like Able2Extract Professional 14, which allows you to convert PDFs into CSV, Word, PowerPoint, AutoCAD, and even Excel formats, among other choices. It also allows you to convert back to PDF once you are done — a somewhat safer process than the first conversion step.

If you plan on converting PDFs no matter what, you could also stick with Adobe Acrobat. Adobe allows you to convert PDFs to Word, Excel or PowerPoint within Acrobat. If possible, we’d recommend this over other methods because Adobe’s format conversion tends to be more accurate than most.

The family comprises Acrobat Reader (formerly Reader), Acrobat (formerly Exchange) and Acrobat.com. The basic Acrobat Reader, available for several desktop and mobile platforms, is freeware; it supports viewing, printing and annotating of PDF files.[20] Additional, 'Premium', services are available for reader on paid subscription. The commercialproprietary Acrobat, available for Microsoft Windows and macOS only, can also create, edit, convert, digitally sign, encrypt, export and publish PDF files. Acrobat.com complements the family with a variety of enterprise content management and file hosting services.

History[edit]

Adobe Acrobat came to being in 1993 and had to compete with other products and proprietary formats that aimed to create digital documents:

  • Common Ground from No Hands Software Inc.[21]
  • Envoy from WordPerfect Corporation
  • Folio Views from NextPage
  • Replica from Farallon Computing[22]
  • WorldView from Interleaf[23]
  • DjVu from AT&T Laboratories

Adobe allows third parties to develop Acrobat plug-ins, which can add extra functions to the Acrobat program.

Reader XI
Distiller XI

EchoSign

Adobe has renamed the Acrobat products several times, in addition to merging, splitting and discontinuing them. Initially, the offered products were called Acrobat Reader, Acrobat Exchange and Acrobat Distiller. 'Acrobat Exchange' soon became 'Acrobat'. Over time, 'Acrobat Reader' became 'Reader'. Between versions 3 and 5, Acrobat did not have several editions. In 1999, the Acrobat.com service came to being and introduced several web services whose names started with 'Acrobat', but eventually, 'Acrobat.com' was downgraded from the name of the family of services, to that of one those service.

By 1 April 2015, the Acrobat family consisted of:[24]

  • Acrobat XI Pro (for Windows and macOS)
  • Acrobat XI Standard (for Windows only)
  • Reader XI (for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS)
  • FormsCentral (web service with desktop client)
  • EchoSign (web service)
  • Acrobat.com (web service)
  • PDF Pack (web service)
  • Send (web service)

Unlike most other Adobe products, such as members of Adobe Creative Suite family, the Acrobat products do not have icons that display two letters on a colored rectangle.

Document Cloud[edit]

Adobe Acrobat 50 Free Download For Mac

In April 2015, Adobe introduced the 'Document Cloud' branding (alongside its Creative Cloud) to signify its adoption of the cloud storage and the software as a service model. Apps under this branding received a 'DC' suffix. In addition, 'Reader' was renamed back to 'Acrobat Reader'.[25][26] Following the introduction of Document Cloud, Acrobat.com was discontinued as their features were integrated into the desktop and mobile apps.

The UI had major changes with the introduction of Acrobat DC in 2015, which supports Windows 7 and later, and OS X 10.9 and later. Version numbers are now identified by the last two digits of the year of major release, and the month and year is specified; the previous version was 12, but examples of the DC (Document Cloud) Acrobat product family versions are DC June 2016, version 15.016.20045, released 2 June 2016 and DC Classic January 2016, version 15.006.30119, released 12 January 2016.[27] From DC 2015 the Acrobat family is available in two tracks, the original track, now named Classic, and the Continuous track.[28] Updates for the Classic track are released quarterly, and do not include new features, whereas updates for the Continuous track are issued more frequently, and implemented silently and automatically.[29]

The last pre-DC version, Acrobat XI, was updated to 11.0.23 version (and this was the final release[30]) on November 14, 2017,[31] support for which ended on October 15, 2017.[32]

As of August 2018, the main members of the Acrobat family include:[33]

  • Scan (for Android or iOS)
  • Document Cloud (web service with desktop clients)

Internationalization and localization[edit]

Language availability[edit]

Adobe Acrobat is available in the following languages: Arabic, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Ukrainian. Arabic and Hebrew versions are available from WinSoft International,[34]Adobe Systems' internationalization and localization partner.

Specific features for Arabic and Hebrew languages[edit]

The Arabic and Hebrew versions are developed specifically for these languages, which are normally written right-to-left. These versions include special TouchUp properties to manage digits, ligatures option and paragraph direction in right-to-left Middle Eastern scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian, as well as standard left-to-right Indian scripts such as Devanagari and Gujarati. The Web Capture feature can convert single web pages or entire web sites into PDF files, while preserving the content's original text encoding. Acrobat can also copy Arabic and Hebrew text to the system clipboard in its original encoding; if the target application is also compatible with the text encoding, then the text will appear in the correct script.

Security[edit]

A comprehensive list of security bulletins for most Adobe products and related versions is published on their Security bulletins and advisories page and in other related venues.[35][36] In particular, the detailed history of security updates for all versions of Adobe Acrobat has been made public.[37]

From Version 3.02 onwards, Acrobat Reader has included support for JavaScript. This functionality allows a PDF document creator to include code which executes when the document is read. Malicious PDF files that attempt to attack security vulnerabilities can be attached to links on web pages or distributed as email attachments. While JavaScript is designed without direct access to the file system to make it 'safe', vulnerabilities have been reported for abuses such as distributing malicious code by Acrobat programs.[38] Adobe applications had already become the most popular client-software targets for attackers during the last quarter of 2009.[39]McAfee predicted that Adobe software, especially Reader and Flash, would be the primary target for software attacks in the year 2010.[40]

September 2006 warning[edit]

On September 13, 2006, David Kierznowski provided sample PDF files illustrating JavaScript vulnerabilities. Since at least version 6, JavaScript can be disabled using the preferences menu[41] and embedded URLs that are launched are intercepted by a security warning dialog box to either allow or block the website from activating.[42]

February 2009 warning[edit]

On February 19, 2009, Adobe released a Security Bulletin announcing JavaScript vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader and Acrobat versions 9 and earlier.[43] As a workaround for this issue, US-CERT recommended disabling JavaScript in the affected Adobe products, canceling integration with Windows shell and web browsers (while carrying out an extended version of de-integration for Internet Explorer), deactivating Adobe indexing services and avoiding all PDF files from external sources.[44]

February 2013 warning[edit]

Adobe has identified critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader and Acrobat XI (11.0.01 and earlier) for Windows and Macintosh, 9.5.3 and earlier 9.x versions. These vulnerabilities could cause the application to crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system. There have been reports of these vulnerabilities being exploited to trick Windows users into clicking on a malicious PDF file delivered in an email message. Adobe recommended users update their product installations.[45]

January 2016 warning[edit]

Adobe has released security updates for Adobe Acrobat and Reader for Windows and Macintosh. These updates address critical vulnerabilities that could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.[46][47]
