Technology :: How to Modify PDF Files on Mac OS X

PDF files are traditionally used on Mac OS X as they can be created, viewed and shared easily. But by nature, these are hard to be modified. With the built-in Preview, users can make some kind of modifications for the PDF files including adding annotations, merging PDF pages. But it is far from enough, since it doesn't allow users modify PDF text and images. Then, AnyBizSoft PDF Editor for Mac is required. It is an innovative PDF editing tool and it offers a superior 2 methods for users to switch PDF files on Mac OS X: Modify PDF files directly and Modify PDF files in Ms Word.

Method 1: Modify PDF Files directly

Open a PDF file with AnyBizSoft PDF Editor for Mac. And then you'll be able to modify your PDF files now:
1 Add Text
Click Add Text button around the toolbar, type text inside pop-up box to include PDF text. You can get a new font and font color inside the box. Click the OK button, the words you added is within a transparent block and is on the top left corner in the current page automatically.

After adding text, now the Touchup Tool is selected automagically. So just click about the text block, and drag the written text to the place around the page madden tokens as you wish.

2 Modify PDF Text
Click the Touchup Tool button on the toolbar, and double click on the text, when the written text is in an editable block as well as the cursor becomes I-beam pointer, you'll be able to correct, insert, or delete the words.

Also you can change the words font and color by clicking the Inspector button about the toolbar to change color for the written text. Or choose Format > Fonts > Show Fonts inside the top menu bar to alter text font. Click here to find out more details about the way to edit PDF text on Mac.

3 Insert images
To insert images in a very PDF file, just choose Edit>Insert... through the top menu bar, and after that select one local image to inert for the PDF file. Or click on an image inside the PDF file, choose Edit>Crop Image? to crop images. Also you can resize, move, and delete the images within the PDF file.

Method 2 Modify PDF files in Ms Word
Open a PDF file with AnyBizSoft PDF Editor for Mac. Then choose File > Convert to Word inside the top menu bar, you are able to quickly convert the existing PDF file to editable Ms Word document. Then you are able to modify it in Ms Word.

Both the 2 methods allow you to change PDF files on Mac OS X. In my opinion, the first method is quicker if you only need to modify a few typos for the PDF file. But should you have to make large changes on the PDF file, converting PDF to Word to change it in Word is a lot more time-saving. Users can pick the suitable method according to the different situation.
