Interface
Master PDF Editor user interface is similar as that of all the commercially available competitors in the market. The usual menu, context menus, and toolbars are there plus the margins are there for the user. Search functions, page previews, attachments and at the right marginal view is the "Object Inspector" which is an invaluable tool in Master PDF Editor because it is where the user will rely when performing editing functions. See images below for guidance of the main interface of Master PDF Editor. 


 



WORKING WITH PDF DOCUMENTS


Delete a page in an existing PDF file
To delete one or more pages in an existing PDF file, the user can either delete it via Document > Delete Pages or via the right-click menu in the thumbnails panel. See images below. 

 


Insert a page/file to an existing PDF file
To insert a page (or pages) or file to an existing PDF file, it is done via Document > Insert Pages. If inserting pages, the user should take care and discern the position of the pages to be inserted so as not to be confused. See images below. 

 


Moving pages
To move a page inside an existing PDF document, the user can either go to Document > Move Pages or use the thumbnail side panel and manually drag the selected page to the new position desired. See images below. 

 


Drag-n-Drop pages from one Window to another
To insert a desired page from a window to another window using drag-n-drop feature, both documents should be open in separate windows. If both documents are open in a single window the user just needs to right-click the document tab (say, Document 2) and select "Move to New Window". The user can now select his desired page/s (from that "New Window") "drag" it from its thumbnail panel and "drop" it to the desired position of the other widow's thumbnail panel (say, drag page 1 of Document 2 and drop it in "page 2 position" of Document 1). An insertion point/mark will appear ("red line") signifying location for a "drop". See images below. 

 


Drag-n-Drop pages between PDF documents
To insert a page/s from one document to another using drag-n-drop feature, the user needs to have both documents open in respective tabs (say, Document 1 in Tab 1 and Document 2 in Tab 3) and select the desired page/s to be inserted to the other document (say, page 1 of Document 1 to be inserted as page 2 of Document 2). 

The user needs to "drag" the desired page to the Document 2 tab (Tab 3). As he does that, Document 2 now becomes the "active" document. The user can now  "drop" the desired page (page 1 of Document 1) to the position desired (as page 2 of Document 2). An insertion point/mark will appear ("red line") signifying a location for a "drop". See images below. 


Extract pages from existing PDF document
Extracting pages from a PDF file and saving it as a "new" PDF file is "Splitting" a PDF document. To extract a page from an existing document and save it as a "new" PDF file go to Document > Extract Pages. The "Extract Pages" dialogue box will appear and this is where the user will set the "new file name" for the page to be extracted, the destination or location where it is to be saved. There are also options to "Extract bookmarks" or if there is >1 page that it is targeted to be exported to file, an "Extract pages as a single file". The user can just tick/untick the respective checkbox. See images below.

 


Adding Comments
Commenting allows the user to review a PDF document and add annotations, comments and other text/graphical information regarding the content. Comments may address certain parts of the document that require changes or be used as a collaborative work on the document itself to inform those all concerned on certain content that needs addressing/improvement. Commenting tools do not "alter" the original content and are not displayed in the printed document. See images below.

 


Editing images (objects)
Every PDF has objects in its contents whether it be images, text boxes, forms etc. To edit objects in a PDF document is to edit the "properties" of the object selected. The fastest way to edit any object inside a PDF documents content is to go to Tool > Edit Document or select the "Edit Document" icon in the Tools toolbar (likewise the user can press Alt+1). Once selected the user can just point to any object in the page to select it towards modification. 

 


The same procedure is also for editing images, go to Tools > Edit Images or select the "Edit Images" icon in the Tools toolbar. The "Object inspector" opens its properties. It is from there the user can edit/modify the selected object to his preference. 

Insert an Image to a PDF document
To insert an image, go to Insert > Image.  The cursor will change into a crosshair and the user must select the area where he intends to insert an image. The "Open Image" window will appear. The user must locate his preferred image, select it and afterwards click "Open" to attach the image to the desired position. The user can drag the resize handles or drag the image to position it properly on the document page. See images below.


Replace Image
"Edit Image > Replace Image" has been added for more functionality (started in version 5.8.18). The user just needs to select the image (to be replaced) and with the right-click function select "Replace Image". A dialogue box will appear so as the user can locate (source location) the desired "replacement image". The selected "replacement image" automatically "replaces" the image (selected for replacement).

 



Extract (Send to file) Image to file
To extract an image and save it to file, the user should go to Tools > Edit Image. Then select the desired image to be saved to file. Right-click on the image and select "Save Image to file". A "Save As" window will appear. This is where the user can set to save the file to a desired "filetype" as well as the destination/location of the image file to be saved. Click "Save" to execute. See images below.


Editing text
To edit text in a PDF document go to Tools > Edit Text (or select the "Edit Text" icon in the Tools toolbar) and then double-click the text to edit/modify. The "Object inspector" (on the right panel) will show the "Text properties" and the user can edit it there, say, change the "Font" properties (size, color, width, opacity etc.). If the user wants to "maintain aspect ratio" relative to the value he enters, a checkbox is available there in the "Geometry" tab. Also, the user can rotate the selected text by entering a value in “Rotate” box provided. 

To edit a "formatted text" the same procedure applies. The user goes to Tools > Edit Text or select the "Edit Text" icon in the Tools toolbar. The "Object inspector" will show the "Formatted text properties" where the user can initiate to edit/modify to suit his preference. See images below.

 


To edit text in a PDF document, go to Tools > Edit Text (or select the "Edit Text" icon in the Tools toolbar) and then double-click the text to edit/modify. The "Object inspector" (on the right panel) will 


Add Watermark to PDF document
Watermark is a text or an image, positioned behind the document content. To add a watermark, go to Document > Watermark > Add. The "watermark dialogue box will appear and here the user can either add a "text" or a "file" (say, an image file) as watermark. The user can modify any of the values to his preference. The user can also "delete" the added watermark to the document if he serves it fit. To delete go to Document > Watermark > Delete. See images below.

 


Remove Watermark in an existing PDF document
For PDF documents that has a stamp or watermark, Master PDF Editor offers a way to remove them. To remove the watermark of the document the user must select the watermark and right-click > Delete. That's it. The user should not forget to save the watermarked document in a new file name or save it as a new PDF document. See images below.

 


Securing PDFs with a Password
Password protecting a PDF document prevents unauthorized alterations to the document by unauthorized individuals. Access to a "password protected" document is halted unless the user will supply the correct password. To use password protection, go to File > Properties. The "Document Properties" window will appear and then go to the "Security" tab. The user can enter his preferred password and if he wants opt to encrypt the document (128-bit RC4 or 256-bit AES). 
 

• Required a password to open the document 
  
  As plainly put, this is "only" a password to open the PDF document. If the user wants to share the document with another person but don't want others to be able to open it then choose this option. 
  
  
• Permissions
  
  A permission password "permits only" the selected actions and denies access/prohibits all others. The selected actions can be seen and the appropriate checkbox can be ticked/unticked by the user depending on his preference. See images below. 
  

IMPORTANT: Unlike the password to open a document, a permission password does not actually encrypt the data in the PDF document. Hence, it is still possible to open the protected document in a third-party application and perform all the disabled actions as long as that software disregards the permission password.

 


Redacting PDF Document
Redacting allows you to permanently hide private or sensitive information in a PDF document. The redacted parts appear as colored boxes instead of the original information. Redacting is helpful if you want to publish a document but don’t want to or cannot disclose certain parts of it for some reason.

IMPORTANT: Redacting a PDF document permanently removes the redacted data from the document, so make sure to save the redacted PDF under a different file name than the original document, otherwise the redacted data will be lost.

To redact a document, the user can either:
 

• Marking Objects for Redaction
  
  The mouse cursor changes to a cross when the user hits Document > Mark for Redaction, (or via the "Mark for Redaction" toolbar button). From there, he (the user) can select one or more areas in the document for redaction. Click "Apply Redactions"  button on the toolbar, or via  Document > Redaction in the Main menu to redact the selected blocks.
  
   
  
  
• Redacting PDF by Certain Keywords
  
  Use the "Search and Redact" tool to redact the same text in multiple places across the document. The user hits Document > Search and Redact, (or via the "Search and Redact" toolbar button). A side panel appears where the user can type keywords to search the document and check the results, that you want to mark for redaction. The user can review each result in the document by clicking it in the list. After checking the results the user needs to click the "Mark Checked Results for Redaction" button (this will mark all results for redaction in the document). To apply redactions, the user needs to click "Apply Redactions"  button on the toolbar, or via  Document > Redaction in the Main menu.
