What is the best PDF editing software for beginners on Windows 11?

If you prefer desktop software and don't want to rely on an internet connection, Libre Office is your answer. It's a best PDF editing software and runs on Windows without any payment or account. Libre Office Draw (part of the Libre Office suite) can open and edit PDF files. Each text block, image, and shape becomes an editable object you can modify.

How to use this best PDF editing software:

1. Download and install Libre Office, and launch Libre Office Draw.

2. Open your PDF: File → Open → select your PDF file

4. Edit the content:

Click any text block to edit it (change text, font, size, color, alignment)

Add or edit images via Insert → Image

Click and drag text boxes or images to reposition them

Select an object and press Delete to remove it

Use the drawing toolbar to add shapes, lines, arrows, or freehand drawings

5. Export back to PDF: File → Export As → Export as PDF → choose quality settings → Save

When Libre Office Draw opens a PDF, it converts the layout into editable objects. For simple documents (text, basic images, single-column layouts), this works beautifully. For highly complex PDFs with multi-column designs, tables, or intricate graphics, you may need to do some manual cleanup after import.
