PDFs have been around since 1993. It's a format we all know. You may find you occasionally need to edit these files and sorting through the hundreds (if not thousands) of websites and programs to find a decent one may feel overwhelming. I've found PDFCandy.com (offering an amazing 47 online PDF tools) is a great free option!
I prefer the PDF Candy Chrome Extension but you can also go directly to the website at PDFCandy.com. This site allows you to convert 20+ file formats to and from PDF, compress, edit in numerous ways, merge, split, even extract text and/or images. The only drawback is the tools are all individual and not in any particular order, so you may have to scroll to find the one you need, but the site interface is simple and straightforward. Resulting files in the free version are available to download for 120 minutes with no login/signup required. The one caveat is you can only perform 1 task per hour for free. If you need to do more than one task, to keep it free, you'll have to return to the site a few times or use multiple browsers to get around the limit. But if you're like me, the need is occasional (such as combining multiple PDFs into a single file, or converting a PDF to JPG) and one task may be all you need to accomplish your goal.
If you're a power user, there are pricing plans as low as $6/month cancel anytime, $4/month if you sign up for a full year, or $99 for a lifetime license. If you find you need to do a lot of editing at once, but only for a limited time, $6 is a bargain and then you can cancel. If you work with files on the regular, the lifetime price is less than just a few months at other sites.
Next time you need to work with PDF files, give PDFCandy.com a try!
