Any free portable pdf editor with these features?
motiontwelve:
I am mainly looking for the following functions:
- Add pages
- Delete pages
- Rotate pages
- Crop Pages
- Add Text
- Eraser
- Add Comments
- Add Stamps
- Encryption
- Insert Images
- OCR (I know this one is really pushing it)
I was also thinking of going around PDF's limitations and first convert it to TIFF and use a multi-page TIFF editor but couldn't find anything suitable for this task as well.
TIA

Hallo.
You had a similar thread here from March:
https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=40420.msg377570#msg377570
(Though as I look at that now, that one was about images).
So to rephrase the question, you're looking for "a free alternative to Acrobat"?

That's correct. Any ideas?

Sorry, no, but it's also a bit odd in that for example a few companies do Browsers, but few/ no-one is doing free super-featured PDF editors. It's probably tough work, but I'm also betting Adobe has locked up certain features into patents that other people can't do without big agreements. Sorta like a "protect our monopoly" type move.

PDF XChange Editor is an alternative, as long as you're not using it for work. Not sure if it has all of your required features, but it's a start.
