Here is how it works, launch Word on your PC. You can use Word to convert PDF to Word, edit it and convert it back to PDF on the fly. We tend to give far less credit to Microsoft Word then it deserves. While MS Word is not open source, it’s still is a worthy option, if it’s already installed on your Windows computer.
But fret now, there are still free and open source PDF Editors available for Windows and Mac. When it comes to editing PDF files, Adobe’s Acrobat Pro DC is the industry standard, but it’s quite expensive as well ($15 per month). It was until 2008 when it was released as open-standard.
A lot of people are under the impression that PDF is a proprietary format by Adobe, which is not true. The fact that Adobe has little documentation available on the topic doesn’t help either.
