• Pdf Xchange Editor

Is a powerful open source cross-platform Office suite that works in many regards just like Microsoft Office. While you can use LibreOffice apps to edit spreadsheets or Word documents, you may use it as well to create, edit and save PDF documents. LibreOffice PDF Editing LibreOffice supports the editing of PDF documents by default and opens them in the LibreOffice Draw application. You can open Draw directly and use the File menu to load PDF documents, or use the startup wizard instead.

You may also associate LibreOffice with the PDF file format if LibreOffice is your main app for PDF documents so that you can double-click on PDF documents to have them opened in LibreOffice automatically. The loading of PDF documents may take a moment in LibreOffice. While a one or two sheet PDF opens near instantly, PDF documents with hundreds of pages may take a minute or so to load. You may also start a new document from scratch instead using Draw. Just make sure you select File Export as PDF when you are done to save it as a PDF document. LibreOffice Draw displays the pages of the loaded PDF document on the left in a sidebar, and the content of the selected page in the main editing area. Text content displays fine for the most part but you may notice that the editor may have issues with complex layouts.

Take a look at the title of my Windows 10 ebook to see what I mean: This means unfortunately that you can't use LibreOffice to edit documents with rendering issues as these may get saved automatically after the editing. The editing works exactly how you'd expect it to, however. You can click on any position to add, edit or delete text, and even use advanced features such as inserting images, changing the formatting or adding tables. Once you are done editing the document you need to select 'export as PDF' from the File menu. If you don't, you end up saving the document as an ODG file, the default format that LibreOffice Draw uses. Selecting export as PDF opens the PDF options.

The options are quite extensive and give users full control over the process. To name just a few features supported by the export module: sign with watermark, set compression level, set encryption and permissions, add digital signature to document, define initial view and layout, and a lot more. It is recommended that you check the exported PDF document to make sure that its layout and content is intact and not garbled. Closing Words LibreOffice Draw offers a simple straightforward option to edit PDF documents. It is most suitable for basic PDF documents with little to no formatting or advanced layouts. The program does not offer the same level of functionality as Acrobat Reader or other commercial PDF editors but it is sufficient for basic tasks.

Now You: Which program do you use to view and edit PDF documents? Related articles. My main PDF reader is Sumatra, which is very nicely made. Most of my PDF usage is read-only, for such things as automobile owner’s manuals, government publications, company invoices, newspapers, magazines and periodicals, public domain books, and much more. Wikipedia allows creating a PDF on the fly from any of their millions of encyclopedia articles. I have thousands of PDF files stored here.

They are searchable, printable if I need hard copy, etc. A very handy and widely adopted standard, especially once the US Government started using it for everything they publish. For those rare occasions when I must fill in a form, that is to say write data into a PDF to be saved or returned to somebody, I reluctantly use the old original Adobe Reader, which gives me the least trouble of all the PDF writing applications of which I am aware. Sumatra will read but not write on and save PDF fill-in-the-form files. It’s rare to none for me to need to edit somebody else’s PDF. I either read them, or fill in a PDF form and return it, like a tax return. Once in a great while I will compose a document in WordPerfect and export it to PDF.

Then I can email or post my document with the assurance that every reader will have the correct software to access it. Without PDF as a “standard”, I would need to publish in plain text only in order to be assured that every recipient could read what I wrote. Here is every US tax form and all the instructions: Call one up and fill it in for practice!

The main personal form is: What could be more convenient than that? PDF X-Change Editor, free. A bit old-fashioned as far as looks are concerned, but quite powerful even in the free version.

Opens blazingly fast (in marked contrast to Libre Office, which takes ages). I also use PDF X-Change Lite (also free), from the same publisher, to convert to pdf any printable file created by a Windows program. It just inserts an extra virtual printer in the printer driver menu. I have been using Foxit Reader formerly, which used to be light and very good, and is still better than PDF X-Change Editor in some respects (notably, I believe, in the ease of applying and formatting comments). However, it has grown into a high-faluting monster, with Microsoft-like dirty tricks and disregard for user needs.

So PDF-X Change it is for me. The publisher is friendly and there is a good forum. I’m not sure I understand what a “good resident FOSS PDF app” is supposed to mean.

There are several PDF viewers for LInux. I can recommend qpdfview. There are also several free (not all necessarily FOSS) Linux programs for manipulating (delete, add, shuffle, rotate pages; split or merge files) PDF files, such as pdfmod, pdfshuffler, pdfsam-basic, Master PDF Editor (free version), and others. In addition, some PDF software for Windows works under Wine. I have not found Libre Draw a useful PDF editor: too many rendering problems. That is not surprising. In fact, PDF files are not meant to be edited: PDF is an end format.

PDF files are like virtually printed documents, and the only way to “edit” a printed document is by retyping it. Thanks for your feedback Gerard. By a resident app I meant one that is part of the Linux Mint package, i.e. Not having to install it from “outside”. Anyway, what I am looking for is a PDF app that let’s you annotate PDF docs, i.e. To add highlights and text boxes. I am not interested in amending the text in the PDF.

I looked at all the PDF apps in Mint, but none of them support annotation. As for Wine, I installed it through the Software Manager, but that was an old version, 1.6:-(, whereas the latest is 3.0. I uninstalled 1.6 but wasn’t sure how to get 3.0 (is that stable?) installed. Sorry for such basic ignorance but my acquaintance with Linux is less than 1 week. And yet, I installed Okular in Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon from the standard repository, all the necessary dependencies were picked up automatically, and the end result seems to work fine (with the exception of one PDF that also wouldn’t open in Mint Cinnamon’s default “Document Viewer” app). I’m admittedly not a good test case, since I don’t work with PDFs very often and almost never do more than just read or generate them. PS: I noticed this in 18.3 Cinnamon’s release notes: Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon Release Notes – Linux Mint.

Issues with KDE apps If you’re experiencing issues with KDE apps (Okular, Gwenview, KStars.etc) run the following command: apt install kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins. But those three packages were already installed and up to date on my system.

BTW, I like KDE and used an earlier version of it as my sole desktop environment for a year over a decade ago, but as a forgetful/born-again Linux newbie, I’m finding Cinnamon to be less complex and confusing to set up and use than KDE Plasma. Stuck with Win10 on a work laptop, I ended up buying PDF X-Change Editor because I frequently need to review/comment/manipulate/edit pdf files received from clients (mostly generated by their scanning/photocopying/MFPs). Unfortunately, PDF X-Change Editor DOES NOT let you edit the underlying text. Seems kind of like bait and switch to call your app an editor in that case, but in their defense, if you want to draw a white box over the text that needs to be changed and then type your correction in the white box, they do let you accomplish that sort of fix. I tried using MS Word 2016, but as noted for Libre Office Draw, Word will muck around with complex layouts.

For me, so far it’s worth keeping my old W7 machine alive so that I can use Acrobat 9 to do more complex pdf edits when PDF X-Change Editor isn’t up to the task. I’ve only rarely had to edit PDFs, and that was way back when I was working on a workplace computer that had a licensed copy of Adobe Acrobat. I’ve never tried to directly edit a PDF in LibreOffice or any other non-Adobe app. (I.have. converted documents from PDF to an editable format, edited them, touched up the formatting, and then saved/printed them as PDFs, but that doesn’t really qualify as direct editing.

Pdf Xchange Editor

The Calibre e-book management program supports this convert-and-edit-and-reconvert process, but I wasn’t all that thrilled with the results when I tried it a few years ago. Calibre is actively maintained and updated, so maybe it’s improved since then.) I obviously have to read PDFs from time to time, and for that I use browser extensions/functionality or standalone PDF-Xchange Viewer (free edition). Occasionally, I have to create PDFs. You can save LibreOffice documents as PDFs (with a fair number of options), and I’ve done that a number of times with no noticeable problems.

For applications that don’t have built-in or added-on PDF-output support, CutePDF Writer (which installs as a printer that outputs your print jobs to PDF) has also usually seemed to work pretty well for me. It’s the same concept as PDF-Xchange Lite, mentioned by Clairvaux earlier. (CutePDF Writer requires that you install Ghostscript, which is not a big deal. A side benefit of Ghostscript is that, once it is installed, IrfanView can display PDFs. I have a friend who finds that handy for slideshows; for me it’s useful for quickly browsing through folders of files with mixed formats that include the odd PDF.) Harumph. I just tried loading a 5-page technical-documentation PDF into LibreDraw.

It took forever to load (I was running out of RAM, so that could have been the primary culprit), but it looked perfect once loaded. I quit without saving, but afterwards the same file wouldn’t load in any of my Linux virtual machine PDF viewers. Could just be a coincidence, I guess, and I’d never tried to load that particular PDF in Linux before.

Other technical PDFs I tried loaded just fine in Okular and Document Viewer in Linux Mint, and the PDF that wouldn’t load in Linux continued to load just fine in PDF-Xchange Viewer in Windows, so maybe it was just a fluke. I’m looking for a program that can convert PDF e-books to MOBI for reading on a Kindle. It must be able to introduce paragraph reflow to take advantage of the variable scaling the Kindle offers. If anyone has had a good experience with such a program I would love to hear about it since I have many PDF books that I would like to read normally on the Kindle. While Kindle does have a PDF reader one is stuck with the fixed page layout that is common to PDF such that no scaling with reflow is possible.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated. The last I looked at calibre it did have a PDF convert option but did not deal with reflow. I also hate the way calibre forces and copies into a particular library for itself rather than just dealing with documents wherever they happen to be.
