Accessing PDF documents is inevitable when using a computer for business purposes. After all, most scanned files end up as PDF documents. This can be annoying because you cannot just open a PDF and edit it. However, there is a program that you can download which allows you to edit the text in a PDF and even make additions and/or deletions to the file. This program is easy to download and use.

Steps to follow:

1

Start by visiting the Nitro PDF Professional website and downloading the Nitro PDF Professional software (www.nitropdf.com/professional/overview.htm). After downloading the program, follow the instructions to install it. Once finished, open Nitro PDF. It is important to ensure that your system meets the software requirements for smooth functioning, which can be checked on the download page.

2

Click the 'Open' icon at the top of the program (the folder that is half open). Find and open the PDF file you want to edit. It is advisable to create a backup of the original file before making any changes, which allows easy restoration if needed.

3

Click 'Insert and edit' at the top of the program. Once you've done this, select the 'Insert' option found in the 'text' icon. This option will have a large 'Ti' icon on it. It's helpful to familiarize yourself with the various icons and tools available in the toolbar to maximize your editing capabilities.

4

Scroll down through your PDF and select the text you want to edit. You can also delete or add text to any part of the document. To edit the text, click on the part you want to modify. In the dropdown box, select 'Edit text'. Then simply edit the text as you would in any word processing program. Additionally, you can adjust font styles and sizes to enhance the document's appearance.

5

Use the other options at the top of the screen to add graphics, photos and other items to the PDF, if you choose to. You most likely only want to change the text in a PDF. However, Nitro PDF gives you the option of adding other things as well. These features are particularly useful for creating visually appealing documents, such as brochures or presentations.

6

Save the document as you would any other word processing document (hit Control 'S' or click the 'Save' icon at the top of the program) and you're finished! It is a good practice to save your document frequently to avoid losing any changes due to unexpected software closures or system crashes.
