Zu beliebten, oftmals kostenpflichtigen Programmen für das Lesen und Bearbeiten von PDF-Dateien, wie Adobe Acrobat, gibt es zahlreiche kostengünstige bzw. kostenfreie Varianten. Da PDFs in unserem digitalen Alltag nicht mehr wegzudenken sind, stelle ich hier ein Programm vor, das ich selbst seit Jahren nutze: PDF XChange – ein professioneller Allrounder für die Konvertierung, Bearbeitung und Darstellung von PDF-Dateien.
Die Hilfeseiten sowie das Supportforum sind in englischer Sparache gehalten, die Programmoberfläche selbst kann auf die deutsche Sprache eingestellt werden. Es gibt regelmäßige Updates. Die Links im Text sollen helfen, sich ein Bild zu machen und den eigenen Bedarf abzuschätzen.
Viele Funktionen sind frei verfügbar. Anhand der Preismodelle kann man entscheiden, welche professionellen Tools für die eigene Arbeit infrage kommen würden.
Die Herstellerfirma Tracker Software Products betreibt Büros in Canada und UK. Im nachfolgenden Advertorial stellt das Unternehmen neue Programm-Features vor:
