Wow! Finally a real online PDF editor, no more troubles on changing text and much more! Just found it randomly, and since the beginning it shows me lots of features to edit pdf like texts, images, signs, highlights and more. The graphic looks a bit oldie, but this is not a problem at all. Functionality first! 30 days trial, then you've to pay.
