Even though it has a zoom slider for adjusting the view, I won't recommend using the program as a PDF reader, as I found it to be slightly slow to render pages than Firefox, SumatraPDF, etc. Protected documents, i.e, the ones which ask for a password can't be edited either. The application used about 30 - 40 MB of memory while editing text-heavy documents, but it shot upwards of 200MB when I tested it with illustrated eBooks.Â I couldn't get the program to work with PDFs that I had created from Microsoft Word (those have some kind of protection), but it worked fine with others.

Speaking of which, none of the programs in that tab are required to use the PDF editor. Upon further observation, I think it connects to the portal to download the optional programs that you can download from the Suite tab (Wavepad). Note: I noticed that PicoPDF pings a website called, but it belongs to the same developer, NCH Software.

The program will prompt you to save the changes to the PDF, when you exit. If you prefer non-destructive editing (keep the original PDF), you may want to use the Save As option, to create a new version of the document.

Use the save button to preserve the changes you made to the PDF. You can also use PicoPDF to add images to a PDF document, it supports several image formats including JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIF, PSD, to name a few. Want to move something on a page? Click the move button, select the content, and drag it any location you like. So, you'll have to rely on the keyboard shortcuts, Ctrl + Z and Ctrl + Y. Made an error while editing? You'll be happy to know that PicoPDF supports undo and redo, though there aren't buttons for these. The program recognizes the text formatting of the document, and preserves it for changes you make, so you don't have to worry about the font style looking awkward. You can also use the buttons on the toolbar for the same. Left click on some text in the PDF, and it changes to a text box that you can use it to edit existing content, fix typos, or add something to the document. Use the mouse wheel to scroll down pages. PicoPDF displays the contents just like a normal reader. The program has a ribbon interface, though the Home tab has all the tools you'll need to edit PDFs.ĭrag and drop a PDF document onto the GUI, or use the Open button to select one. PicoPDF is an easy to use, offline PDF editor that lets you edit text and add images to your documents.
