PDF Editor - Recomendations

[dhutch]

Bit of an odd one by my partner needs to print a load of evidence as part of a job application, and a lot of it is in the form of low grade auto-generated PDF forms, which are usually a page and a line long or in various other ways are horrendously formatted.

Is there some free to use software that could, even for a short trail period, let us take a few carriage returns out here or there so it will print nicely?

Just tried ApowerPDF, which nearly works but does group tables/text well at all, and PDF filler which only allows you to overtype or erase, so close but not managing it.

Tied copied and pasting them into word but it just makes a total dogs breakfast of it, and tired screenshotting it but it looses to much crispness when printed.

Here's what i do:

Change pdf to jpeg (I use a site on the web that does this for you, simply Google pdf to jpg)
Edit jpeg in paint.net or your favourite free paint program
File>print, select your pdf converter virtual printer (if you have one - mine's part of office 2016 i think, but there are free ones such as primo pdf etc.)
If more than one page, paste the individual jpeg's into word and file>print>pdf that

Ahh. That's simple enough, and a great improvement in terms of quality loss compared to starting the game off with a screenshot.

For text a .png might be better than .jpg but as long as the quality is good enough tis good enough. We only need to print it, so dont even need to convert back to pdf.
