Looking for an alternative to Ashampoo PDF Free?Compare Okular, PDF-XChange Editor, SumatraPDF, Adobe Acrobat Reader.Compare alternativesAshampoo PDF Free provides features around viewing and managing PDF files. You can open documents for daily use and work with the available page and creation functions. A different edition or app is required for extensive editing of existing text or other advanced tasks.
Make a distinction between organizing pages and completely changing the content of a PDF. For example, a scan does not contain automatically editable text. When exporting, check that forms, links and special fonts still work as expected.

PDF is intended to display documents in a predictable way, but not every PDF contains editable text. A scanned page can be one large image. Therefore, first determine whether you want to organize pages, read a file or actually change the contents of sentences.
Work when merging or deleting pages on a copy and then check order and page numbers. A free PDF tool is useful for daily document tasks, but advanced text editing, form functions or recognition of scans may require a different execution.
Version and updates
For Ashampoo PDF Free, check the version number of the release you are actually installing.

Do you want to read PDFs alone or also process comments and forms? That distinction is more important than a long job list. A light reader is suitable for document opening, while advanced forms and signature require additional compatibility checking.

Our verdict
PDF Free is worth a look if you want to read PDFs and perform simple document tasks. It prevents you from paying for an extended editor immediately while you only need a small part of the features.
Check the exact operation you want to perform in advance. Modify text, move pages and recognize text are different possibilities. Save an original file and view the result in a second PDF reader if proper viewing is important. A more extensive package is often more suitable for complex forms or printing production.
