Free, simple to use PDF reader/editor

5.0 last year

Comments: I work in a Bank, so I handle documents all the time. In the office I use fancy (and costly) PDF applications. But since I need I need PDF reader/editor for personal use as well, like for electronically signing documents, PDF Reader Pro extremely helpful. If all you need is to perform tasks I described in the top section, get it immediately.

Pros:

Extremely simple use if you have just minimum computer knowledge. You can convert PDFs to Word, Excel, and PPT. Electronically sign documents (very useful feature to me). Also, if you need to combine several pages in one document, or split document in several, those features exist also, I believe they were added later on. Recently I needed to just send 1 page to someone with my signature, and was pleasantly surprised that 'split' functionality (now) exists.

Cons:

No minuses, I am able to perform all the tasks I need.
