5 Free PDF Editors That Can Replace Adobe

The high price and the predatory system that punishes you for early termination of the subscription are the main reasons for the anger of users. Software bugs are also on the list, but no program can escape them. In this regard, I would even say that Adobe has an advantage. Since it has so many more users than all other similar programs, a solution is found faster online.

But we're not here to bash Adobe. Adobe Acrobat Reader is one of their programs that is almost always installed by default on computers. The only annoying thing is that the free version is really only for opening and basic viewing of PDF documents. If you want to edit them, you'll have to pay.

So we scoured the web and found some interesting free alternatives.

PDF-XChange Editor has quite a few advanced tools

Najprej nam je padel v oči PDF-XChange Editor, ker so bila pri njem kot brezplačna našteta orodja, ki jih pri Adobu lahko uporabljamo samo naročniki, kot na primer optično prepoznavanje znakov (OCR), orodja za označevanje, možnost vstavljanja in urejanja slik in podobno. Vse osnovne funkcije so zajete, bolj izkušeni pa se lahko poigrajo še z omenjenimi orodji.

First of all, you can click on any text and adjust, change, or remove it with a variety of editing tools. With OCR, you can turn any scanned document (even an image) into editable text, which is impossible with most other programs (including Adobe Reader).

It is also very system-friendly, as it does not use many resources. A mobile version is also available.

PDF Editor

Sejda je zanimiv program, ker vam ga ni potrebno niti namestiti na računalnik. Deluje preko brskalnika. Poleg te priročnosti pa je presenetljivo robusten z orodji, kot so urejanje in oblikovanje besedila, dodajanje komentarjev in združevanje različnih PDF dokumentov. Tudi vmesnik je do uporabnika presenetljivo pregleden in prijazen. Na vrhu boste opazili orodno ploščo, preko katere boste dostopali do vseh najbolj uporabljenih funkcij.

The free version has daily task and file size limits, but this shouldn't be a problem if you don't need to edit more than a handful of files per day.

PDFescape

PDFescape pravi, da je bil prvi »brezplačni spletni urejevalnik PDF dokumentov«. Ali je to res ali ne, ne vemo, vemo pa, da je zanesljiv in brezplačen urejevalnik PDF dokumentov. Na voljo je tudi namizna različica, vendar je bolj omejena in vas bo tudi redno pozivala, da se odločite za mesečno naročnino. Zato raje ostanite na spletni različici, kjer je nabor orodij podoben tistemu pri urejevalniku Sejda.

PDFescape has everything you need to edit documents, including text editing, inserting images, inserting shapes, annotations, and even a drawing tool.

PDFgear

PDFgear je urejevalnik, ki ima vse, kar si lahko zamislite, vključno z urejanjem besedila, dodajanjem opomb, združevanjem datotek, vstavljanjem povezav, vstavljanjem slik in celo pretvorbo PDF dokumentov.

If you're not a fan of AI integration, then you might not like its AI assistant PDFgear Copilot. But you might find it useful when you need quick summaries or when searching for specific information in a document.

Eyepiece

Eyepiece je razvit v namiznem okolju KDE, zato je priljubljen med Linux uporabniki, na voljo pa sta tudi različici za Windows in macOS. Okular poleg osnovnih funkcij ponuja tudi izpisovanje besedila in slik. Dodajate lahko tudi digitalne podpise.

Okular supports a wide range of formats, including DjVu, ePub, CHM, and XPS. Since it is an open source application, there are no ads, hidden limitations, or annoying pop-ups.

If you are not satisfied with the Adobe Acrobat Reader editor and would like to try something new, you will definitely find a good alternative among the ones mentioned.
