i probably could, just wondering if there is a basic free version available though
I've used PDFill a few times:
http://www.pdfill.com/
As well as the editor it has some other useful utilities to convert images easily to a PDF file, and to install a print driver which will convert the printed output of any program to PDF format.
Can't speak specifically for the current version though, as it's 6.0 I have.

I don't know about editing an existing PDF file, but Open Office allows you to export a text file as a PDF (and it's free)
i already have a program to print to PDF, just after something that can edit them
just downloading PDFill now

could you try running ubuntu live off a cd or USB pen drive(if you dont want to dual boot that is)?
that way you could edit your file in windows(you can access an NTFS drive via ubuntu) and save it back to a different file,
reboot windows and hey presto, job done, with a now edited copy alongside the original.

would be a lot better/faster, was just trying an easy/simple way of trying it without actually having a running system as such.

thats to create PDF's (and what i use). i wanted something to edit them. have installed PDFill editor, but still havent tried it
What is it you want to edit about it? If you want to actually start editing bits accurately like as if were a word document then I'd be inclined to find a copy of Adobe. For the odd bit of reasonably not bad editing I use Photoshop. I also use other tools for bits, but it all depends on what you want to do.

Bit labourious
not much, just the ability to edit the odd file. ill probably try and get adobe later
the problem is windoze cant always "see" other OS files, its a bit tunnel vision like that sometimes.
+1 for knoppix to do that,
not really, you just open the file as you would do in windows, I probably make it sound more work than it actually is,,,,, headbang
There are some bits of software that allow Windows to see some Linux partitions. I used to have my home directories shared to Windows when I had this set up for dual booting. Not ideal though as the file suystems and housekeeeping required meant it was a PITA, hence why I ended up with a file server for shared stuff, but then I like boxes with flashing lights.
Ive now got an old(read ancient) PC for that, and have it running XP for some bits and bobs I do that dont work so well in *nix.There are some bits of software that allow Windows to see some Linux partitions.
