<p style="text-align: justify">When the Portable Document Format (PDF) was first introduced, it was rather difficult to edit such files because there was a lack of affordable and easy-to-use tools. Luckily for us, the situation has changed over the past years, and today we can easily create, edit and even share online PDF files in a fast and hassle-free manner.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">But how to choose the right software? Your choice should be based on your needs, budget and some other aspects.</p>

<h2>Are You a Heavy PDF User?</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify">In case you’re an occasional user you might not need all those bells and whistles that come with expensive software suites. There’s no need to purchase and install top-notch programs if you just need to edit or convert a single PDF file. There are dozens of free-to-use web services allowing you to make basic manipulations (editing, combining, converting etc.) in just a few clicks without having to download and install any software. With PDFBurger for example, you can convert and combine different files into a single PDF, convert web pages to PDF and also convert PDFs to Word documents and JPG files. No registration required. Just open the website, upload your file(s)/enter the URL and click the ‘Convert’ button. In a few instances download the ready file to your computer.</p>
<h2>Are You a Tech-Savvy User?</h2>

<p style="text-align: justify">The feel of the interface is also an important aspect. In case you’re a newbie, you may want to choose a program with an intuitive interface offering easy-to-navigate menus containing tools with captions that are easy to understand. Designs cluttered with tools and menus may have a steep learning curve. It may take you hours of watching video lessons before you understand how to properly edit/export/convert files.</p>
<h2>Add-Ons</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify">While basic web-based tools are enough for occasional, personal use, they are clearly not the best option for business. In order to keep all your PDF files protected you need to purchase a high-quality program that will not only allow you to create, edit and manage PDF files in a professional manner, but also offer a variety of other business-specific features. NitroPDF for instance, offers such unique options as OCR (Optical Character Recognition), easy-to-use collaboration tools and even cloud connectivity capabilities: you can sign, share and work on PDFs with others even if they don’t have Nitro Pro.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">In case you’re going to publish PDFs on the web, make sure your software allows you to specify the following Document Properties: Title, Author, Subject, Keywords etc. These are very important for SEO.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Some apps also offer special printing-related features, such as color matching and other optimization options to ensure that your file will be printed out exactly as expected (as it appears on your screen).</p>
<h2>Help &; Support</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify">When evaluating a PDF suite, pay attention to the company’s customer service. Are there video tutorials explaining the product? Is there a knowledge base of articles or a forum? Are there in-built prompts and hints in the interface? What kind of support can you get (24/7 live chat, ticketing system, phone support)?</p>
