However, more and more alternatives are appearing on the market. Similar programs have most of the functions necessary for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hitechwork.com\/what-is-a-pdf\/\">PDF<\/a> management but are much cheaper or completely free. Here is our list of the most interesting alternatives to Acrobat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basic_editor_functions\"><\/span><strong>Basic editor functions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When looking for a program that will allow us to edit this type of document, it must have\u00a0a good variety of tools\u00a0so that we can have complete control over its content. In this way, it should allow us to move website elements, edit them, delete them, and even add new elements. We should also not forget that it is important that we can organize the pages the way we need and even delete them if they do not interest us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, the program we will use is capable of&nbsp;opening all kinds of documents, even those that have a digital signature or are password protected. The ability to combine several documents into one or convert a document to another format, while maintaining and respecting its structure, is also highly appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, we will be able to find both free programs with the most basic functions and much more complete paid ones, so it will depend to some extent on how we intend to use it, deciding on for any of these options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SwifDoo_PDF\"><\/span><strong>SwifDoo PDF<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hitechwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SwifDoo-PDF-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"SwifDoo PDF\" class=\"wp-image-243917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hitechwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SwifDoo-PDF-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hitechwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SwifDoo-PDF-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hitechwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SwifDoo-PDF-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hitechwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SwifDoo-PDF-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hitechwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SwifDoo-PDF-624x468.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.hitechwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SwifDoo-PDF.jpg 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Adobe Reader may be a popular PDF reader for many people, but it is clunky, constantly updated, and often targeted by malware traffickers.
