Greetings all,
after discovering that all the components of Microsoft Office I need, i.e., Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, work for all the features I use, I am now motivated to find a replacement for Acrobat 9 Pro, not in the least for the reason that even on Windows it is no longer supported and, as I understand it, rather insecure.
The features that I absolutely need are the following:
1. The ability to change the page layout, i.e., insert, extract, replace, and delete pages; split the document;
2. Minor editing, namely adding text, like the Typewriter feature;
3. Optical Character Recognition. I need to OCR about 90-95% of the PDF documents I work with, and I have found the built-in OCR engine to be excellent and very convenient. However, I would not mind a stand-alone OCR engine;
4. Ability to fill forms created by third parties.
Would be desirable, but workaround exists:
4. Merge/assemble PDF document(s), this can be accomplished with 1 above;
5. Export to a different format, e.g., text, PostScript;
6. Security and accessibility control, e.g., signature and authentication, limiting ability to alter the document, and the like.
Any recommendation, including, potentially an OCR engine, would be appreciated.
Kindest regards,
M
