Chapter 1 – Overview

The Foxit PDF Editor extends the usability of PDF documents by enabling the user to edit PDF files in a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) way. Foxit PDF Editor is proud to be the first, and up to the time when this manual was printed, the only PDF Editor that allows you to modify existing PDF documents in an easy and efficient way, yet retain all rich features for viewing and printing provided by PDF document format.

The Foxit PDF Editor is a revolutionary program in editing PDF files. Its goal is to give the user a friendly editing interface and make the user feel that they are editing a common document, like with a common editor. Foxit PDF Editor offers the user flexibility to modify or customize anything in the page contents of a PDF file.

PDF Document Concepts

PDF stands for Portable Document Format, which can be used to exchange and distribute documents in a manner independent of the application software, hardware, and operating system used to create it.

A PDF document contains one or more pages. Each page in the document may comprise a sequence of objects. An object can be a text object which contains a number of text characters, a graph object which contains straight lines, rectangles, and cubic curves, an image object which is made of a set of colored pixels, or a shading object which contains a smooth transition between colors across an area.

Each object contains a series of attributes that determine what the object looks like. Text Objects use fonts to specify how the characters look, and font sizes to specify how large those characters are. Graph objects have attributes like

line width, and fill type and more. Shading objects offers linear and radial gradients. All objects have common attributes like position, size, and orientation. There are many more attributes defined for PDF page objects,

please refer to the following chapters for a detailed explanation of all object attributes.

Why Foxit PDF Editor

Edit PDF documents directly! As PDF becomes more important in the field of document publishing, there is an increasing need to use and edit PDF documents.

This demand had led to the conversion of PDF to other types of files, such as Microsoft Word file. However, this however usually causes data or format loss during the conversion process. Furthermore, PDF files are converted into other types of files and then converted back. Often, things have been changed during the double conversion. Hence users have to almost rebuild the whole document structure frequently.

What if there is a way to edit PDF documents directly that is reliable and easy to use? The answer is Foxit PDF Editor, the first and only REAL editor for PDF files.

PDF Document Copyrights Issue

Many PDF documents come with copyrights reserved by the author, or owner of the intellectual property. And in many cases the owner of copyrights may prohibit anyone else to alter the document in any way.

Foxit PDF Editor by no means is designed to breach those copyrights. However, it’s up to the users of Foxit PDF Editor to observe the copyright, if the document is not protected in any technical way.

With Foxit PDF Editor, you are able to edit any user password protected documents. But you can only Save As the document if you have no password. If a document is not protected by password but is encrypted with modification permission prohibited, it cannot be edited by Foxit PDF Editor.
