[Chanelle Kirksey]

Thenew PDF-XChange Editor, the worthy successor of PDF-XChange Viewer, does not only include all features of PDF-XChange Viewer, including the only recently added OCR feature, but now also provides you with an option to edit existing PDF documents.

Those who wish to view, edit, or modify PDF files on their Windows PCs, or even make PDF documents searchable with OCR, now have a real alternative to Adobe Reader with PDF-XChange Editor, the FREE PDF viewer and editor.

The free PDF-XChange Editor enables users to also try the advanced features available in PDF-XChange Editor PRO in a free evaluation mode. No PDF viewer provides more features than PDF-XChange Editor, or does that without sacrificing performance or quality.

Do you require editing or creating fillable PDF forms? The PDF-XChange Editor Plus includes all the features of the PDF-XChange Editor plus a powerful new Fillable Forms Designer/Editor. Fast-track communication with customers or inter-department work flow with Fillable PDF Forms saving time & money.

Utilize a broad range of Editing Tools, document enhancing features, navigation panes and page editing options to invigorate your PDF documents. Switch between the Classic/Ribbon UI and optimize the user interface for mouse or touch-based interaction as desired.

Enjoy the ability to edit text-based PDF content, including the options to highlight, strikeout, underline and insert text, permanently remove content with the redaction feature and measure dimensions with the advanced Measurement Tools. Please note that it is not possible to edit scanned material.

Create, print and email documents. Use Sharepoint, Dropbox, Google Drive and/or MS Office 365 integration to open documents directly from 'the cloud' and then use PDF-XChange Editor functionality to convert them to/from PDF. Combine PDFs into a new document. View and edit MS Word documents. Create PDF documents directly from scanned material.

Enjoy 40/128 bit RC4 and 128/236 bit AES Encryption that maximizes your document security. Inherent Data Execution Protection functionality saves your files from malicious malware and viruses. Use digital signatures to further enhance your security and add timestamp server verification as desired.

Add a variety of dynamic comments to documents, including expandable sticky notes and callouts that highlight specific document locations. Unlike the Adobe Viewer, PDF-XChange Editor does not require the PDF creation tool be to Adobe-certified.

Switch between the classic Ul and the new the tools of the software by functionality and streamlines the editing process, whereas the touch-optimized layout is ideal for tablets and phones. All Ul formats are fully customizable.

Tried PDF Exchange, PDFSam, PDF Architect, Bullzip, Sumatra, PDF Creator, PDFill (which had the best value -$20- for pro if you can deal with the hideous interface) Foxit Reader (trial of Phantom PDF) Nitro..there's some more that I can't remember. Only program I've discovered is Callas

Looks like I'm sticking with Acrobat Pro 9 then which does the job on checking separations and ink density, Verify PDF/X standards conformance, but won't run on new macs FFS - can't believe theres no alternative?!?!?!?!

When i was using Illustrator, I did all my work using the Pantone spot colors, then Illustrator would handle the color separations. I can't remember if ink density was an option but AI did my seps and then i could use whatever pdf program I wanted from there. While I was looking for a similar solution when I first started with Affinity, I made my designs and exported them to do color separations with Scribus (which is free) and that worked well enough. Then I discovered that Affinity's predecessor, (the Plus products) DrawPlusX8 also does color separations and I began using that. Then I came across an article showing how to get Illustrator CS2 for free, so I did that and it also handles color seps (and text warping!) just fine, despite its age and the fact that I'm using Windows 10. As far as PDF programs, I am currently using the free PDF24 products, which are free. I hope any of that was in some way helpful.

Thanks for this highly interesting discussion. I am also looking for a Acrobat Pro replacement. Acrobat DC Preflight feature is the only missing link to me e.g. reliable color management and full support for ISO PDF standards.

Pitstop and pdfToolbox seems to be the only "real" alternatives for reliable print preflight jobs. However if you don't work a for a big print house, it looks like a bit over-size. PDF Checkpoint (Mac) offers some interesting but limited feature set. I am going to take a closer look at pdfToolbox.

Damn - in that case I hope Serif continues to develop for El Capitan as I'm gonna have to stick with Acrobat 9.5.5 which works great in El Capitan - wish I could afford pdftoolbox - shame they can't do a trimmed down version for skint freelancers

You can install El Capitan into a Virutal Machine on Mojave and run Acrobat 9/X (or any other such important apps) from there.

I'm doing so with my Adobe CS 6.5, it's a bit slower, obviously, since you run two OS' at once, one virtualized, but better than nothing.

This is a very interesting discussion as I have been asking myself for some time now how I could possibly replace Acrobat Pro once I've moved completely to the Affinity apps and a new Mac running (for the time being) Mojave.

Sure, especially when used seldom and more privately instead of business oriented. - For simpler PDF checks things like PDF Checkpoint and the like are maybe a much cheaper alternate, though however I never tried that one out so far and thus can't say anything about it's capabilities.

Thanks for sharing. Indeed PDF-XChange Editor Plus ships with some interesting features. It's Windows only, though. As already pointed out PDF-XChange Editor Plus is an PDF-Editor and PDF Viewer for simple office tasks. It's not intended for prepress.

It has of course been nice to be able to use Acrobat Pro and its preflight tools to ensure that everything is "really" ok, and I still do this as a kind of compulsory act when delivering anything to the printer, but much more simpler verifier and troubleshooter should suffice to notify problems in the output. I would gladly pay something for this kind of a tool, but not more than e.g. for a font manager. Nothing to be rent.

And yeah: good font managers are another thing... (having nothing to do with the Affinty apps, though). The 100 bucks for Font Explorer X make me swallow, in fact, but given my usage of quite an extensive font library and my wish to have some solid structure here, it possibly seems justifiable (all others except Suitcase Fusion, an really old version which I've been able to use up to El Capitan on my Mac, are lacking on or the other feature I'd like to have). But it's almost double the price for an Affinity app nevertheless...

I'm quite certain, however, I'd actually pay as much for an up to date PDF tool (meeting the requirements mentioned before), as long as I cannot be sure my PDFs from AD or AP are really 100% standards compliant, even if I do everything right (within the limits of those applications).

That, however, seems like a valid point to me. Given that with Designer and especially Publisher you are meant to be able to create print ready files, it should be of absolute priority to Serif Software to ensure that PDFs output from these applications fully meet the standards of the print and prepress industry 100% (provided you set everything to the correct values/options during output, that is). I haven't actually dared to deliver PDFs from AD or AP to print myself so far, but I've noticed (following prepress community discussions) that there obviously have been some problems and concerns with/about full compliance to current PDF standards. I'm not sure if these have been sorted out yet.

With that PDF-libraries today neccessary in every software output for printing/prepress and those libraries built-in at hardware in every raster image prozessor in prepress workflows (!), you can't actually and definitely do anything, but to tie yourself to that technology. I myself am from times *before* Adobe and PDF. Can you image to print a prepress document without using PDF (HPGL and the like besides)? And the intestines of PDF are still secret to Adobe and licences are locked libraries but not "open source".

Although I actually do anything to use the Affinity solutions, to support that brave company and support that project, I'm really unsure about, what future may bring to us: Adobe is sole, dictatorial owner of the very, very last step of *any* design idea: printing and distribution via PDF. And as long as Affinity may be forced to licence the PDF technology at Adobe , too, in order to get "real clean output and printing results", Adobe has the force to badger Affinity ...

callas and Adobe share certain technologies, but the main guts of what makes Acrobat used so much in prepress is developed by callas and licensed to Adobe for use in Acrobat by callas and is in their tool, pdfToolbox.
