Thanks for your reply Jim. After working with it a bit, PDF Gear looks pretty good for my needs, most importantly extracting individual pages from a larger pdf.

PDFxchange is a slightly better document manager with an over score of 90. PDFGear is much better at editing e-documents with a score of 96. Both are excellent free alternatives. Just depends on. The user’s needs. Thanks

I found the Edge browser and Firefox about the same. They both get the job done for basic requirements which is most people.

PDF24 is about the same as Edge or Firefox bothe of which are pretty much the same. PDFGear has a slightly learning curve but does considerably more.

Mike, I replied to TOML and agree. After All my testing, nothing beat PDF Gear for a home user or even a small business.

TOML, I think pdfgear is the best of the lot. The only reason PDFCandy was listed was to see the differences that were offered. Over all I downloaded and worked with 15 PDF Apps.

I’m also looking at PDFgear, which is definitely free and looks good at first glance.

I’ve used PDF Shaper Free for some time since I have only needed very basic functions like splitting a pdf, or combining several.

Sumatra is my reader for pdf’s and epub’s.

I am surprised you listed it as you did.
I have installed PDFgear and I am currently playing with it.

I generally use SumatraPDF as my default PDF reader. It meets my current needs for reading PDF’s.

First many of these are over-bloated in their abilities and I only need basic editing tools. Many of them would be improved by simplifying their menu for this problem. secondly is the fact that there has been 5,487,363, 598 different tools through the years and I get so tired of finding one that suites my needs only to go the way of the dodo bird soon after.
