But it's not. PDF Exchange has a free version and does this for free. There are other software available to do it as well as websites. It's not hard to find for anyone that knows how to type in a few words to google. Sumatra is also a great little pdf viewer (also some simple edits like rotation) for windows.
If you google "PDF Editor", PDF Exchange is not on the first three pages of results. Instead, you get the official Adobe product and other products that are all either paid or freemium. Given that it doesn't appear on the first page, how likely do you think it is the average person will discover PDF Exchange and avoid the hassle?
>"It's not hard to find for anyone that knows how to type in a few words to google." I find this to be pretty dismissive and insulting.
Edit: Lo and behold, PDF-XChange Editor is also a product they are charging for. It is $46.50 for a single license, and there is also a PRO version which costs more. So again, it looks like we haven't solved the "free, simple PDF editor with no upcharge like what Apple provides with Preview" problem.
