The closest thing I’ve found previously was a product called PDFill, which works but is really only a basic Windows application with a fairly painful UI.Įnter Infix Pro (v6.36). Most of the merge and reordering features I require aren’t available in freebie products. The ability to reorder PDF documents (preferably graphically).Desktop-based for performance and security reasons.I’ve previously searched high and low for free PDF editors (open source or otherwise) but found very few products that meet my primary requirements: I was literally just about to write my own PDF editor using their product when they pointed me to Infix. It worked amazingly but the price tag is also amazing-over $400.įinally, I’ve integrated third-party PDF solutions into my web applications in the past, notably WebSupergoo’s ABCpdf.NET product. The obvious benchmark for PDF editing is Adobe’s Acrobat and I installed a trial version of the Acrobat XI product. Plus, I’m not terribly comfortable uploading sensitive (private) PDF documents to an unknown web server. Although the Cute printer is great, the Editor product is painfully slow, especially when reordering pages and joining PDFs. To date, I’ve used a hybrid solution for manipulating PDFs including the CutePDF Writer to print documents from other applications to PDF and the free, online CutePDF Editor for manipulating and combining PDFs. On occasion I’ve also had a need to edit the PDF content-the text within the PDF.

As my multifunction device only scans single-sided, I have a need to merge PDFs and reorder pages, at a minimum. In the last few years I’ve committed to reducing the volume of physical paper in my house and to that end, I’m scanning existing documents to PDF. I’m referring to Infix PDF Editor from Iceni Technology. I may have finally found a fully-featured desktop PDF editor that won’t blow the budget (hence this review: Iceni Technology offer a free license for promoting the Infix product).
