FREE "PDF" EDITOR

In addition to Open Office (http://www.openoffice.org/ ) at home, we dumped Adobe’s free reader and downloaded this gem. It allows editing, notes, and more. You can save your changes as well – with any PDF, not just those set up that way with Adobe! http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_user/PDF-XChange_Tools/pdfx_viewer/

For libraries on a software budget, these are free (open source) solutions. No upgrade fees with more function! Open Source isn’t for everyone and there are drawbacks (remember the saying, “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”?), including a change in the user interface which might cause your patrons a little time learning it.
