I don’t like using free programs because they usually have spy-ware in them.

isn't that just a PDF creator? he sounds like he needs to edit an existing PDF, and I have yet to find a free one of those.

Go to Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/index.php). Its all open source projects. theres several very good .pdf file editors plus a ton of other alternate programs like zip applications and just about anything else you can think of. All of it with no spyware.

I need one to edit existing PDFs. Thanks for the help. I'll check Torrent spy for Adobe acrobat professional.

It used to be free... probably still is, but places text at the top of each edited page. I used it for a job application and just made a copy of the page, covering up the text with some paper.

Adobe created the PDF. You will not find a program better than Acrobat Professional.

Adobe PDF files are primarily just for portability of an existing document. I use Adobe Acrobat Professional at my job and unless I'm trying to fix a small typo or add a note to a document, it's a pain in the balls to edit anything.

Bear in mind that documents are never created in Adobe; they're created in Microsoft Word, or Publisher, or InDesign or some other program, and then converted to PDF format. Depending on what you want to do, you may be better off just copying the text from the PDF and pasting it into another program, reformatting, and converting the new file back to Adobe.

Photoshop will open PDF's and you can "edit" them too... but you'd need to "erase" the text and replace it using Photoshop's text feature.

PDF's are basically "pictures" of documents, so they are not "Editable" as easily as a text document.
