Can You Edit PDFs, Word Docs, Excel Spreadsheets and More With (for REAL) Free Software? 

Yes. Here is how:

Use LibreOffice, it  is a free and open-source office suite that is compatible with Microsoft Office files. It includes a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation software, and more. You can use LibreOffice to view, edit, and create documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and other files. A feature that really stands out is the ability to view and edit PDFs, and I mean really edit them, not upload them to some weird website or end up paying for a subscription (or having strange watermarks, or any of the other crazy shenanigans that go on…)

Here are some of the reasons why you should use LibreOffice:

• It is free to use.
• It is compatible with Microsoft Office files.

How to Edit PDFs in LibreOffice

LibreOffice can be used to edit PDFs, but it is important to note that it is not a full-featured PDF editor. You will not be able to make all the same changes to a PDF in LibreOffice as you can in a dedicated PDF editor.

However, LibreOffice can be used to make basic edits to PDFs, such as:

• Changing the text
• Adding or removing images
• Formatting the text
• Commenting on the document

To edit a PDF in LibreOffice, follow these steps:

1. Open the LibreOffice application.
2. Click on the “File” menu and select “Open”.
3. Navigate to the PDF file you want to edit and select it.
4. The PDF will open in the LibreOffice Draw application.
5. You can now make the changes you want to the PDF.

Once you have made the changes you want, you can save the PDF by clicking on the “File” menu and selecting “Save”.

Here are some additional tips for editing PDFs in LibreOffice:

• If you are having trouble editing a PDF, you can try converting it to a different format, such as ODF. LibreOffice can open and edit ODF files more easily.
• You can also use a PDF editing add-on for LibreOffice. There are many add-ons available, so you can choose one that has the features you need.

I hope this helps you get started with LibreOffice and editing MS DOCs & PDFs for free.
