Hi guys,

I am looking for a program to do basic PDF editing.  I need to:

 

  • Add multiple PDF's together to make one PDF
  • Split particular pages of one PDF into a separate PDF document
  • If possible, add a signature (jpeg) to a PDF

That's about it.  Nothing fancy, just basic stuff. Does anyone have a good (free if possible) program they have used and can recommend?

Cheers

PDFCreator along with PDFARchitect works, but BE CAREFUL with the installer. It installed a bunch of adware and crapware if you like it. I had a brand new laptop and that installation messed up windows so badly it needed to be re-imaged. I also found it problematic at home so I've gone with FreePDF, which doesn't let you edit but lets you print to a PDF virtual printer.

NitroPDF. No crap, only the goods.


Edit PDFs, forms, etc. Create PDF from anything that can print (it installs as a new printer on your system).

Oh, wait... Is this for Windows Phone or Windows? Have you posted in the correct forum?

Sorry guys, wrong forum - my bad.  Should be windows PC, not windows phone.

I use word to PDF a lot, but there are times I need to add PDF's together into one, so I can fax it straight from my email (Our fax provider will send multiple attachments as multiple faxes).

Moved to correct forum. That's why I ask people to make sure they post in correct forums - we can't help when there's much confusion!

NitroPDF is still my vote.
