You don't have to watch this video. Use case is as follows:
1. You have a PDF file with text in it, but you want to modify the text.
Solution: Try LibreOffice or Inkscape.

In this video I try using Inkscape

Recently, my wife has needed to modify pdf's that she's been given as templates. The problem is that she doesn't have access to adobe acrobat standard or adobe acrobat pro since she no longer works.

https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/pricing...
As I mentioned, i'm cheap and don't want to pay a monthly fee.

So.. you can find more information about the two softwares:
Libre Office
https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/...

Inkscape
https://inkscape.org/

Both are free to use.
What I've seen is the following:
Inkscape opens most files. But there is an issue editing text.. so I end up having to create new text objects (which can take time)

Libre Office is great. Super easy to use.
But.. I've worked on two files where the pdf didn't load correctly!? So.. it was mentioned in the forum post that if the font files are missing, sometimes the PDF may not load well.

Anyways,.. please let me know what you think?
Hopefully it was helpful.
