Is there a free PDF Editor available?
Discussion
We need to occasionally edit an invoice of ours that has been sent without a valid PO, we have been writing them on and scanning but that is a pain.
As it is rare, i don't want to spend any money doing this but all of the so-called free versions I have looked at are not free at all an require the full versions to be installed to use the Edit feature.
Thanks

Adobe Acrobat reader (free one) provides a fair amount of editing facility - once you click on the 'ink pen' signature signing icon a further line of editing buttons appears so you can sign a letter and add text too. I also use it to blank out part of a PDF - or as an erase button in effect by selecting the 'spot' icon and then selecting colour white. You can then use multiple white spots to blank out text etc and works pretty well for smaller stuff.
I am probably doing it wrong but it works for me.

Why not go back to the source document, edit it there, and save as a new version of the PDF? Surely that's better practice than modifying the originally created invoice.As it is rare, i don't want to spend any money doing this but all of the so-called free versions I have looked at are not free at all an require the full versions to be installed to use the Edit feature.

Agreed.I would be very careful about editing someone else's document, it could lead to all sorts of legal complications. Using a mark-up option to write the missing number on the document should be fine, and of course you don't need specific editing software.

Hi JeremyOur software does not allow any modifications to invoices onced finalised, I have asked for the facility just on Ordernumbers but was met with te resposonse that it would cost me quite a lot to have the bespoke software altered!

If it was coming in to our finance team, they'd want a credit note raised for the original invoice, and a brand new invoice with the PO number on it.
Yes, I think that is the official (ie accountant's) way to do it. Otherwise you have two invoices in circulation.And add a big box to the template 'Purchase Order (must be completed)'....!
