    Amazing video, amazing easy to follow instructions along with several options to suit your needs. I went for the Sejda option which is perfect for me because I don’t have office and I only had 1 document to edit.
    Without your recommendation I would have been too scared to try a third party editor for fear of scammers.
    You have made my day!
    Thank you so much

      Follow these steps:
      Open Adobe Acrobat.
      Go to “File,” and click “Open.”
      Choose the PDF file you want to edit.
      Once your file opens, select “Edit PDF” from the toolbar on the right.
      If you want to edit text, place your cursor on the text you want to edit.
      Using the “Format” option at the top of the toolbar, select “Format.”
      To edit an image, place the cursor on the image you want to edit.
      Modify it by using the “Objects” option

    Hey Kevin. This video has great content. The 1st 2 suggestions are outdated as of today 03/19/2023. However, the Libre office is still holding strong. Those who run into issues may want to consider utilizing a browser like Epic or Brave. It seems like Chrome & Microsoft Edge don't like free software suggestions or block them and push you to their in "store" options. Thanks again.😇

    For me, password protection is a key requirement. I also need to easily convert jpgs to pdf, separate pdf docs in to individual pages, combine pdf images into single documents, and I always like the ability to fully edit pdf's. Having tried many free options, I bit the bullet and paid for Small PDF - they have a free version, but I needed the full service.
    Crazy that Adobe don't offer a product for occasional light weight users!

      Still happy with Small PDF. But they have recently announced withdrawal of support for the locally based version. This has significant benefits over the online version. Especially the ability to password protect multiple documents. Waiting to see if the online version will incorporate the local version benefits.

    Kevin, Thank you very much for this tutorial. I was filling an application form for the university in pdf and did not know how I can do it. I came to CZcams to watch your tutorial and voila! It is done. Thanks and God bless you.

    I have had the Libre suit for years and never knew that functionality was in LibreDraw - who'da thunk? Thank you so much!
