Any free portable pdf editor with these features?

<< < (2/5) > >>

anandcoral:
Not one but you can achive these by using two or three free alternatives.
PDF XChange for editing, stamping, text etc.
PDF Rider for add, delete pages etc.

This is the first I've heard of PDF Rider, so that's interesting. I haven't done much with PDFs in a while, but that was usually what I was doing most of. So I'll have to check that one out. Merging and Splitting pages is my other killer app use, so Anand do you know if PDF rider does that? (Plus it will just be interesting to see how it behaves with Dexpot.)

From the website http://pdfrider.codeplex.com/

PDF Rider is made upon the utility pdftk and can be used to:

* Merge PDF documents
* Insert pages from another pdf file
* Extract pages from a PDF document to a new document
* Delete pages
* Rotate pages
* Crypt and Decrypt a pdf file
* Burst a document into single pages

You have to check if it works as per your requirement.

Heh I'm up against a self imposed time clock today, but that sounds really close to what I need, so I gotta test it and report back! In many ways those are "basic" features but it always bothered me that readers felt "crippled" !

Turns out Anand, that PDF Rider really is too cut down to be useful.

From another thread, I went for PDF Exchange Editor Free and I believe it just takes all the cakes home.
I just did a multi page cut from a document, something like pages 1-3,18-20 + save as one document!

Now I'm investigating if their demo Pro advanced features are worth about $43 to upgrade.

But even in Free, they're the ones to beat and darn close to what the other guy was looking for. I consider the best of Freemium to be when the free version is *really solid*, and lets you just get work done, and then Pro has some one or more absolutely stunning features. PDF Exchange looks really close to that model because as I remarked in a couple of threads, notice for ex PDF Rider has no viewer, so you can't see what you're chopping, and it can't do anything near as fancy as the multi page edit I just did.

And if there IS a killer app feature, $43 is way better than Adobe's multi hundred price tag!!
