Need to fix a typo in a PDF, reorder its pages or leave review comments? Icecream PDF Editor handles text edits, page changes and markup. Its separate editing modes group direct content changes, annotations, page management, and form filling into distinct work areas.
Four editing modes
Edit PDF mode changes text, images, and shapes in the document. Objects can be moved, resized, rotated, restyled, or removed. The Annotate mode adds review marks and comments without directly changing the document’s existing content.
Manage pages provides controls to reorder, rotate, delete, and add pages. New pages can come from a blank sheet, an image, or another PDF. Selected pages can also be saved as a separate PDF, and multiple documents can be combined into one from either Edit PDF or Manage pages.
Annotations and forms
For document review, the annotation tools include notes, stamps, arrows, lines, shapes, and freehand drawing. Text can be highlighted, underlined, or struck through; added marks can be erased.
- Fill in forms mode handles interactive PDF forms.
- Password-protected documents can be unlocked for editing by entering the password.
Document details and extraction
The editor can change PDF metadata such as title, subject, and author, and add a password to restrict access or editing. Search locates text within a document and highlights the matches.
Other tools crop individual pages or an entire document, extract PDF text as plain text, and save embedded images. Image extraction supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, and BMP; PDF pages can be converted to JPG or PNG images.
Creating and recognizing PDFs
Create a PDF from scratch by choosing its page size and orientation. For scanned documents, OCR recognizes text in the scan, so its contents can be searched and copied.
