Jaws PDF Editor takes over where Adobe Reader leaves off, giving you the power to manipulate PDF files without having to go back to the original document. And although it doesn't let you edit the text directly, or create PDF files from scratch, the program does offer several features that you'll find immediately useful.
Take bookmarks, for instance. If you find something interesting in a PDF file, there's no need to copy and paste the text elsewhere; just click Action > Bookmarks > Add Bookmark to make a note of it for quick reference later.
And then you can annotate pages, too, useful if you're reviewing documents within a company. These notes can be viewed later on a separate Comments page, or within the document itself by double-clicking on the small yellow markers they leave on the page. Each note has a title bar containing the date it was made, and the person who made it, and all your notes may be exported in FDF or XML formats.
A range of PDF manipulation options starts with the ability to delete or rotate one or more pages. The Extract command gets more interesting, allowing you to take a random selection of pages (5,2,9-12) and export them as a new PDF file. Even more complicated possibilities are supported via the Insert option, which merges your choice of pages from one PDF file into another.
The program additionally allows you to change the security of a PDF file, perhaps encrypting it, or limiting features like printing, or the copying of text or graphics. Add handy Save options to cut PDF file size or optimise files for the web, and this could be just the PDF toolkit you need.
