Safest PDF editor?

[Average_Joe (Joey)]

@ParkerS

Hi,
Saw a recent topic about PDF readers but I didn’t find anything in there about PDF editors. What would be the best PDF editors (obv you need to read the PDFs as well) to run on Windows as well as my iphone and ipad?

Hey Parker, check out this thread:

Android PDF Editor?

Hello, I searched the forum but couldn’t find any recommendations for a good pdf editor. I was using PDF Expert on iOS (freemium but was enough for me. Tho privacy-wise not sure about it tbh). but it’s not on Android. I don’t have heavy editing needs just the usual highlighting, underlining, bookmarking, annotating, etc… thank you

Systweak PDF Editor

I’m not sure if this is a good option…

I checked their website and the price is around $100USD per year.

Also, it’s not even open source…

EDIT: I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Sumatra. It’s free and open source and even comes with a portable version:

Sumatra PDF reader download page

It also has a very active community if you need help:

sumatrapdfreader sumatrapdf · Discussions

EDIT 2:
The sourcecode is even available.

The portable may be of use to you as it can be run from a USB drive without installation or making any changes to the Registry

isnt sumatra just a PDF reader and not an editor?

It can work as both.

It lists the editing functions here: SumatraPDF documentation

I thought it’d be a great suggestion because of its features that are inline with this community: open source, minimalist design and portable version.
