    Most are pdf viewers, not editors.

    A good pdf editor would be "Master PDF EDITOR" https://code-industry.net/free-pdf-editor/

    A greeting.

    It remains to clarify that Sejda only allows you to make 3 editions per day on the same document, if you want to make a fourth edition you have to pay 8 dollars to use it for a week or 63 dollars to use it for a year. In Latin America in general and Argentina in particular, 63 dollars is a lot of money, it is approx. 40% of a basic salary.
    On the other hand, Master PDF EDITOR is not "free pdf editor", as advertised, but it is free in its basic functions, which can also be done with Draw from Libreoffice, for example, for its PDF EDITOR functionalities it is also paid and the source codes to compile, modify, etc. are not openly available, that is, it is not Free, it is misleading advertising.
