Icecream PDF Editor review: The free and full-fledged PDF editor

So I am here with a brief review of Icecream PDF Editor and how you can use this free Windows PDF editor for editing and annotating PDF files.

We all come across PDF files almost every day through email, WhatsApp, etc., where a few are important for our work, and sometimes some books are also available in electronic format through PDF files. But we often need to modify PDF files before forwarding them to some other person, and sometimes for simply printing them out by making some necessary modifications to save ink or paper or both. While most PDF editors available, comes with a price tag, there are even some free PDF editors, which are not that good. Most people just rely on online PDF editors, which are pretty good and they can get their job done for free.

I have recently talked about the Xodo PDF editor, which is available only for Windows 10 devices from the Microsoft Store, but trust me that isn’t the best solution to edit PDF files offline. After going to the internet for finding the best PDF editor, I came across free to download Icecream PDF Editor which is a completely free pdf editor that you can download on your Windows computer and get started. Unless you’re looking for a PDF editor for some commercial requirements, the Icecream PDF Editor can easily help you with everyday PDF editing activities.

Icecream PDF Editor Cons:

Let’s have a look at the cons of Icecream PDF Editor.

• Icecream PDF Editor does not have the option to import multiple PDF files and merge them into a single PDF file, nor there is an option to extract some pages from a PDF document.
• I didn’t find any option to add watermark to a PDF file using Icecream PDF Editor. Not having the option to add a watermark isn’t a deal-breaker, however, it is a useful functionality most other PDF editors come with.
• This isn’t a complaint or a con, but I wish there was an option to extract text from a PDF document or, there was an OCR functionality. I wish that functionality is added in the upcoming updates to the software.

Well, Icecream PDF Editor is a free pdf editor, and you can’t expect everything from it. I am sure the developers of it will definitely enhance the functionalities and features of the software in the coming updates.

Bottom line:

Well, if you’re looking for a free pdf editor for your personal requirements, I will definitely recommend the Icecream PDF Editor, as it is one of the best offline PDF editors available for free on Windows. Yes, there are some problems, but none of them is a deal-breaker. If you are not looking for any specific functionalities on your PDF editor, you can count on it without thinking twice.
