However, you may also need to make changes to the document. That's where editing comes in!These changes can be related to the text: adding text for clarification, moving text for greater consistency, deleting sentences, correcting errors, etc.But editing a PDF is not limited to the text. You may also want to rework the images: replace one image with another, adjust the size, reposition graphic elements to improve the overall appearance...
