Good morning Jim,

I recently installed PDF-XChange for one of my branches as an alternative. There is a free version, a paid version, and a Plus paid version.

Very nice breakdown of the differences. Paid is $62. Plus is $79. I think the main difference in the paid versions is that the Plus license lets you create fillable PDFs. The license is one payment, lifetime perpetual use. The free version lets you try out the premium version options, but the document does put big DEMO labels on the corners if you save the document, so don't try it with any production documents. Doesn't add them if you're just printing the PDF though!

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif;">We’re currently using Adobe Acrobat Pro to edit pdf files and a few of our staff accounts and on two of our public computers. Adobe is “retiring” this product come December. Can someone give me a suggestion on an alternative app that we can use to edit pdf files? Our current software are perpetual licenses, so they are licenses per device instead of per user. We can work with licensing per user for our staff but I’m trying to find a way that this will work on public computers.</span></p>
