PDF files are not editable by nature. This is, in fact, what makes PDF the most popular format for exchanging documents with third parties. For example, when you don’t want the recipient and user of your document to modify the content of your file.
However, the practice has shown that PDFs need to be edited from multiple reasons. The answer to this need are PDF converters. These come as desktop, online and mobile applications that can extract the content of your PDFs into a desirable editable file format like Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, JPEG, AutoCAD, or others.
Although there are really quality PDF converters available today, wouldn’t it be great if you could directly edit PDF content without conversion to an editable file format like Word?
Thankfully, this is more than possible with the help of an advanced PDF editor like Able2Extract Professional 11. You can quickly to check out how easy it is to edit PDF by clicking the Start button on the interactive graphic that simulates PDF editing here.

2) Now click the edit icon you can also see in that image above: a sheet of paper with a pencil across.
3) You are ready to start making PDF edits! You will see the Edit PDF content and pages panel in the right sidebar:
As you can see, you can add text, delete or redact it (especially useful when you need to wipe out sensitive information from your files).

You can also customize the content of your PDF by changing the font type, size, and color, or adding the outline. The color of the outline can also be adjusted. To customize PDF even further, you can add shapes (vector graphics) or images to it. Able2Extract allows you to insert BMP, JPG, PNG, GIF or TIFF images in your PDF.
Apart from editing content of the PDF — adding text, vector graphics and images, deleting and redacting PDF, you can also modify pages of your PDF. For example, delete one or more PDF pages by clicking the Delete button and defining the single page or entire page range in the dialog that appears:

In a similar fashion, it is possible to insert pages from another PDF, split PDF, move around pages, and so on.
