PDF Optimising software - free?

Featured Replies

Trying to tidy up a scanned image of a PDF, and struggling to find software (as I don't really want/need to pay for this one thing) to edit it - i.e mainly to deskew a little, and fill in areas where stuff is missing / bit grey/faded.

I gather photoshop can do it, which I don't own.... Or I am after a kind soul I can email this PDF to, who can give it a quick once over and wing it back to me? :)

I downloaded paint.net as a free photoshop alternative for use at home....

you've got PM

Just downloaded but no PDF options. I will keep as you never know it could come in useful anyway. :thumbup:

Let me know if DomHall can't sort you out. I've got the full version of Acrobat at work.

Libre Office will allow you to import, edit and export files as PDF. Even PDF image files and allow editing. Is that basically what you are trying to do? I am mostly a Linux Ubuntu user and I use that facility all the time. I import PDF, edit, and then export again in PDF sending to my office. If you are using Windows you can do the same as far as I'm aware, and at NO COST! I have this in my new Windows 7 Installation too, although I haven't used it in that os yet.

Go here and download at least version 4.0. http://www.libreoffice.org/ Hope it's useful.

ps. there is also the photoshop equivalent...GIMP. That's free too and will run in Windows if that's what you are using. It's a massive program and directly equivalent to the really expensive photoshop once you have added on the extras and add-on.

Photoshop no good. Opens each page as a separate image which would then need edited. I suggested acrobat which may offer a one click fix......

Replied.

Hope that's what you were after

Try here for Acrobat 7 Pro, there are conflicting reports on the legitinmacy of downloading - but it is off the Adobe site:-
