PicoPDF Home Edition is a productivity application developed by NCH Software. It is a document management software that allows you to edit your PDF documents easily. With it, you can edit or delete text, remove or move images, and even make layout adjustments.
However, unlike other PDF editors, such as Adobe Acrobat DC, PicoPDF Home Edition does not work with PDFs created using Microsoft Word. It also does not open password-protected files. Moreover, even though it has a slider for adjusting the view, it does not work well as a PDF reader since it is slow to render pages.
There are many PDF apps available for download. However, most of them do not allow you to modify the contents. The ones that do often tend to be online and require a license. PicoPDF Home Edition is a PDF management app that you can download and use without an internet connection. As noted, it lets you load your PDF, edit its texts and add images to your documents.
The program has a ribbon interface, although the Home tab has all the tools you need to edit your PDF. To open a document, you can drag and drop it into the GUI. You can also use the Open button to select your file. From there, you can explore the available functions to edit the existing text, add or remove images, and make changes to the layout of the document.
The app supports redo and undo although, there are no buttons for these. You will rely on keyboard shortcuts, Ctrl + Z and Ctrl + Y. However, as mentioned, the app does not work with PDFs created using MS Words. It also cannot open password-protected files. Additionally, while it uses little memory, it can shot upwards when editing text-heavy documents. Moreover, it can slow down when images are added.
