This time, you will click Save As as and choose file type as PDF. Just edit the document and when you are done, click the file button again. If you don’t know what that is, you don’t need to. Word will work its magic and open the file in. By default, Word is set to look for its own kind. If you can only see Word files and not PDF files, click on All Files from the drop-down menu on the lower left. Locate the PDF file on your system that you want to edit and open. 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.
