Hello.
I just installed 64-bit W7 HPE SP1 last night due to a HDD crash on my
old HDD with its Windows XP Pro SP3 and other old softwares. :( I have
to look for software replacements:
1. What is a good free PDF file editor to edit on exiting PDF files? Basically, add/edit/remove texts and stuff.
2. I print to PDF files instead of the physical printer like from web browsers, Offices, etc. What's a good software to do that? I am trying
to be paperless.
Thank you in advance. :)

Sorry, but that is not correct. PDF files *can* be edited, if you have
an appropriate program, such as Adobe Acrobat, but not with a program
such as Adobe Reader.
Besides Adobe Acrobat, there are also many other choices. A Google
search will quickly turn up programs like PDFescape, PDF Pro, Sejda, PDFzorro, DocHub, etc.
Also word processors like Microsoft Word and WordPerfect can edit pdf
files.
I've never used any of these, so I have no recommendations for Ant,
other than suggesting that he (she? it?) download and try all those
that are free.

In the spirit of trivia, here is the largest
PDF I've ever downloaded. Try *this* in your editor
and watch it choke :-) [ 154,752,614 bytes 28,365 pages ]
https://download.microsoft.com/download/3/5/0/3502F151-5E4C-48E1-8ABE-C89E73CB1291/Windows%20Server%202003_en-us.pdf
My copy of Acrobat Reader was running at 30% CPU for
quite a while, after loading that. Maybe it was
trying to index it ?

I stand corrected. Thank you for the information.
