  1. Great Article! I mostly use PDFfiller to edit my pdf files. Its not the same thing, but maybe someone needs it. It also allows you to erase in a pdf,and add logos or pics to pdfs. Its pretty easy to use and its pretty cheap. I think you can get a free week if you and a friend both register. http://www.pdffiller.com
