Articles from Free PDF to Word Blog How to Make a PDF Editable in Mac OS X Lion 2012-02-12 16:02:56 admin
Looking for an easy way to make a PDF editable? As we all know that now many important documents are in PDF format, like contracts, tax bills, receipts, dissertations and more. And for the convenience of share and distribution, PDF format is preferred. However, editing a PDF has become a headache for people. Many people do not know how to make a PDF editable. Here in this article, we’re going to introduce an easy way to solve the problem. First, you should know that you need a PDF tool to make a PDF editable. It works like you edit a Word document in MS Word, LibreOffice or OpenOffice. Without a PDF tool, you’d never been able to edit a PDF. Here the PDF tool does not mean all kinds of PDF converters. It must be an OCR-based PDF Editor. Scanned PDF or even some software generated PDF are only editable with OCR technology. OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is now the main stream technology used for digitalizing imagebased text. I know that there are many PDF editors for Mac OS X in the market and you might do not know which one is needed. Adobe Acrobat could be a good choice if you are willing to spend $400 on it. But make sure it is Adobe Acrobat Professional, not the standard version. Only the Pro version has the OCR technology. An Adobe Acrobat alternative to make PDF editable is Wondershare PDF Editor Pro for Mac. Its price is under $100. It is a comprehensive tool. Both native and scanned PDFs are editable on Wondershare PDF Editor Pro for Mac. To be honest, though Wondershare PDF editor is cheaper than Adobe Acrobat, it is more user friendly. What all you need to do is downlad, install and launch it to open any PDF you need to edit.
