Wondershare PDF Editor is an attractive, simple, and effective PDF reading and editing tool that will allow you to modify and enhance any PDF file. You can also use it to merge and split existing PDF files easily. Besides, it allows you to edit and insert text and images, as well as to add annotations and post-it notes and to convert it into various MS Word formats.

Its extensive functionality has been elegantly wrapped up in a clear and well-structured interface. Its up-to-date ribbon-based design makes it very easy for any user to select and apply the desired function. When opening the source PDF file, you are presented with the text and its bookmarks (if available), as well as some of the well-known tabs present in Adobe Reader (actually, most of the functionality available in Adobe’s reading tool is also present here). Editing existing text or adding new text is done in a very simple and intuitive way. The appearance of the font can be adjusted to look like that in the original file if necessary. You can add new text also as annotations and post-it notes, or highlight, strike through, and underline existing text.

The resulting new PDF document can be either saved as a standard PDF file or as any of the existing MS Word formats – DOC, DOCX, and RTF.

This beta version contains all the functionality that will be made available in the future commercial version, which is not still available despite the links in the program’s interface offering you to upgrade to the full version - so test it and make the most of it while it is still free.

After using the Mac version 4.0.2 app for a few days now, it works well enough for the $49.95 price but has some annoying shortcoming that should be an easy fix. (1) There needs to be a way to enter the exact size W x H, of the field boxes rather than just creating them by dragging the mouse. Also, positioning field boxes with the arrow keys needs to have a way for minimal adjustment (perhaps by holding down the option key while using the arrows for one pixel at a time movement). (2) Unless, I'm missing something, I still have to set the background color with the color wheel, every time I create a new text field. Should be able to set it once and every new text box I create will have the same settings until I change it again. (3) There is no way to have the fields visible to searches such as with spotlight. If I create a hundred files and want to find a particular one for review, I should be able to easily do it. Bummer. Sad

Is there a way to add a signature field to a PDF document and send it for signature by someone else? When I do this, Adobe Acrobat doesn't recognize the field and allow the person to add a signature.

When updating my subscribtion to the old version I must buy the key from the pc programs shop again. What can I do to update to the newest version without losing my serial number or subscribtion?
