Better pdf viewer/editor

[Red Squirrel]

Anyone know of a decent free pdf viewer/editor? I find adobe acrobat so bloated to consider it has like, 0 options. I don't even get why they update it, what is there to even update? I'd like basic features like being able to split/merge pdfs and such. Like sometimes I'll print a bunch of different stuff to pdf but want to combine it in a single doc. Not looking for anything fancy just basic editing.

Foxit seems the most popular with sumatra or various others being useful / preferable for certain users and situations. I think there's a windows version of xpdf too.

For UNIX, xpdf, evince are some of the major ones.. others are based on the poppler library and are discoverable by looking at its related projects list.

For editing:
http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/20...d-keep-the-formatting/
Using OpenOffice http://extensions.services.ope....org/project/pdfimport

For less editing and more conversion or partial incorporation:
http://pdf2oo.sourceforge.net/

Ohh open office supports pdfs? Never even thought of that. I need to download OO and give it a try. I've played with it a bit before long time ago but that's it. I slowly want to convert all to open source/freeware so that would be a step in right direction.

I'll check out foxit as well.

With the extension / add on listed it can import/convert them and thus get a viewing/editing capability.
For pure viewing I'd use foxit / evince / okular / xpdf.
