Cómo editar, firmar y comprimir PDFs sin pagar: las herramientas gratuitas que realmente funcionan

Adobe inventó el PDF en 1993 y quiere que pagues 23,99 €/mes (287 €/año) por editarlos con Acrobat Pro. Para una empresa puede valer la pena. Para ti, que necesitas firmar un contrato dos veces al año o comprimir un PDF para enviarlo por correo, es excesivo. Existen herramientas gratuitas que hacen exactamente lo mismo para el

Tip of the day: The Content inspectors in #DEVONthink 4 are especially useful for #PDFs, as they provide an overview of the document. You get a table of contents and thumbnails of the document’s pages. With #DEVONthink 4, you can also customize a #PDF’s outline. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20250520-devonthink-pdf-content-inspectors

#PSA #episteme does currently not save annotations/comments in #PDFs in a way that it can be read again and/or by other programs. I needed to learn it the hard way and just did the correction of my students bachelor thesis once again from the scratch. FML

Tip of the day: Smart groups are a good way to view items matching specific criteria, like all the flagged #PDFs in your #DEVONthink database. While it’s easy enough to make a smart group, if you find yourself doing the same search over and over, you can use it to create a smart group in a few clicks. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20240102-reuse-search-devonthink-smartgroup

📰: Oh, the Herculean odyssey of making #PDFs that you can actually interact with—who knew it required a PhD in the arcane arts of .md and BIS H1H2H3H4H5 🤦‍♂️! But no worries, just master the ✨ mystic art ✨ of "clicking beside a block" and you're practically a wizard. 🔮✨

"PDFs putzen": @jplie hat in netbib einen linktipp dazu:
https://netbib.hypotheses.org/78649526
"Viele #PDFs haben zuwenig Metadaten, könnten mehr gebrauchen. Jedoch gibt es auch das Gegenteil, wenn sie zuviel haben und man sie gern putzen möchte, damit sie nicht unwillkürlich zuviel verraten. Wie zum Beispiel beim Journalismus und hier insbesondere für den Quellenschutz. Die 58. Ausgabe des Online-Recherche Newsletters stellt mehrere Tools vor, um das zu erledigen."

@BertrandCaron @anj @dsalo I’m getting back to my pile of #pdfs and hope to have some files that represent PDF-HUL errors to share on the #JHOVE wiki.
