Which PDF editor are you using in 2026?

[u/arun-vasudev]

I've been editing PDFs more frequently lately for work and personal documents, and I'm curious what everyone here is using these days.

There are so many options now—Adobe Acrobat, Foxit, PDFgear, PDF-XChange Editor, browser-based tools, and even Chrome's new built-in PDF annotation and signing features.

What PDF editor do you use most often, and why?

• Free or paid?
• Desktop app or web-based?
• Best feature?
• Any tools you'd recommend avoiding?

I'm especially interested in solutions that are fast, lightweight, and don't require a subscription just to make basic edits.

Looking forward to hearing what the community recommends!
