PDF Editor is a tool designed for those using devices with a Windows operating system that lets them make changes and edit PDF files and documents. Though similar programs exist, this is one of the only tools that lets you try out a demo version to see how it works before you commit to a purchase.

Using this tool requires that you open a PDF file on your computer or one that you found and saved from the internet. You can use your mouse to highlight a section of text that you want to edit and then click on the edit tool to bring up your editing box. This box shows you the text that you selected and lets you add or remove words and phrases as needed. It also shows you the color, type and size of the font that you used. You can click on any of those features and bring up a drop down menu to change those elements.

While this app works well on text, it also works on graphics and images on the page. The full selection of editing tools sits across the top of the screen. You can click on any individual button to edit the page or use the toolbar above those buttons to make your edits. The tool lets you save any PDF file as a brand new file or under the original name of that file.

The demo version of this tool is available for free and downloads relatively fast. It includes the word “demo” in large and capital letters across the top of the screen, which can be irritating to look at. This version also adds demo to your files too, which you may not like when creating files for school or work. It is also available as a paid version that lets you unlock all features after paying a small fee. PDF Editor will frequently ask if you're ready to upgrade each time that you use the demo version.

Designed for use with Windows computers, PDF Editor is one of the best free ways to edit documents. It comes with a number of editing tools and also lets you change the format of the file before saving it. You can even add bookmarks to the page to find the most important information that you need quickly. While you may not like the lack of features on the demo version, this demo shows you some of the top reasons to pay for the full tool.
