Alternative to Adobe ACROBAT

archstanton_2

Hi, I need to be able to turn word files into PDFs, convert PDFs into word and also crop PDFs.

I only have Abobe Reader and Acrobat is expensive. Is there a cheaper software alternative I can buy?

Thanks for any recommendations.

Install Foxit and it's PDF "Printer" to create PDFs

The free downlad of Acrobat 8 is still going at Adobe. It works fine on W7 and 8. I've grown-old faffing about with 3rd party PDF editors, which IME never work as well or do all Acrobat will.

Another vote for Acrobat 8.

PDF-Xchange Lite is a creator, there is also a PRO version. PDF-Xchange Viewer is a good (free) versatile replacement for Adobe that doesn't appear to need the number of updates that Adobe does. I have received excellent and prompt support from Tracker Software when needed.

The download page I found says that, to complete the installation, you'll need your Adobe serial number?

You can save documents directly as PDFs in Word, at least from Office 2007 onwards.

These downloads AND serial numbers were available without login in the past. Maybe they're still there.

I made a screenshot of all the serials at this time.

I've used Acrobat 5 on another laptop. Ridiculously fast and reads all PDF's including newer ones.

They are - I double checked yesterday.
