Is this Libre Office? Is this the same one?
Why the hell are you recommending Chinese spyware.
Unfucking-believable. You are a disgrace.
You are the BEST Kevin Stratvert and apart from your knowledge, the way in which you make it sound so simple, I admire your great sense of humour. Man, you have not only won the brain but the heart as well. May the force be with you.
Kevin, you continue to present very helpful videos. Thank you for your dedication to helping us less experienced users find and understand useable ideas. And your approach is so friendly and clear with no wasted time.
Your channel is the best. 1/Clear pronunciation(Best for non-English speaker) 2/ useful and well-detailed videos.......etc Thanks you
Maaad props for this video. I've been using LO Draw for years and never knew about using it to manage PDF's. Thank you Jedi...
Super Kevin. I greatly admire your capability to teach in such a way so that any one can understand in first watching itself.
All of your lessons are fantastic. This one was worth it for the "consolidate text" example. A big thank you for all the time that you've saved me floundering around in various applications.
Great video. Thank you for this. This pdf editor is so good. I had to hide some numbers on a form and I was able to simply click the box and delete. As easy as that. Its so nice that this editor picks out text that you can edit
Thanks for this Kevin! I can now let go of the subscription I have for Adobe Acrobat DC Pro and save tons with the Libre Office Draw. I immediately subscribed to your channel as you teach really well and make things so simple. I now look forward to watching more of your videos. Instant fan!
I want to thank Kevin for everything I want to watch more videos
As always Kevin you deliver a high quality tutorial. Thank you for introducing me to this product.
Kevin has provided the best tutorial I've seen for editing pdfs. Great video!
Kevin thanks a lot for the nice tutorials on tools whose existence we ignore. Your videos are really helpful.
Thanks again Kevin. Love your lessons and tips for years. Clear, humorous, perfect pace and excellent graphics. My got to for any help.
Amazing. I didn't know that I had a powerful pdf editor so accessible. And man, is it powerful! Thanks Kevin!
Thanks a million. 2 years after you are still helping people with this video.
You just saved a student's life. Thanks a lot.
Great video Kevin. This tool is free and same as Microsoft apps I've tried that. Kevin is also expert in all the third party website and apps. Hats off Kevin 😀
Dear sir ,Do libreoffice have diary like Microsoft onenote" .If so,can it match one note of Microsoft office ?
You’re the best Kevin. Thank you for this.
OMG THANK YOU! Having switched from Mac a year ago you don't have the slightest idea how much i miss Preview, it managed all aspects of PDFs. Not a whole lot of editing but merging, cutting and moving pages around is dead simple and included with the OS. I was thinking to get a Acrobat pro DC subscription but I just can't be asked. THANK YOU!
A free PDF management tool for Windows is PDFtk. No editing but allows you to merge, delete and reorganize pages. The pro version is $3.
What about a free PDF edit for MAC users
This really does have a lot of functionality. Great tutorial!
Subscribed. This was insanely helpful. Looked for a free pdf editor like this for a long while. Much thanks
Thank you, Kevin! This was a good find
This will save me a ton of time and money! I already had Libre Office but had no idea of the capabilities of Draw! Thank you so much!
Bro even after 2 years of the video being uploaded you still help people with it
MVP of the internet for today! Thanks Bro.
I have been paying for a PDF editor for years. So happy I found this video.
Thanks so much I needed this!
You are a gem bro.
you are such a good teacher and be patient to tell us what to do,thank you for all your kindness!
I never understand how to really use Libre Draw. Now I know. Thanks a million.
Thank you so much that i've found this channel, very helpful and useful. I learned a lot from you. New subscriber here from Phil.
Very cool, I've known about Libra Office, but never knew it had all of this functionality
A really useful program to use. Thank you Kevin. I watch a lot of your videos. I like the way you say "Today" in all your videos. It's a compliment. Being unique on TH-cam is important. Keep up the good work!
Kevin you’re the best cookie. 😌 I didn’t know LibreOffice Draw can do so much. I needed a pdf editor and although you’re in the cookie-baking business, you have helped a lot.
Thank you so much for this video!! 🙏🏻💜 It helped me a lot, I was searching for a way to adjust the language on my cross stitch PDF pattern, which I can't do in the program itself.. 😃
Since stumbling across your channel for work tutorials, I now have a saying if I have to learn something. “I’ll just ask Kevin”.
@@robertsirico3670 I Can Understand, Kevin, Amazing!!, So Happy
OMG - Amazing. Had this program installed for years and never knew it could do any of this. Thanks so much!
THANK YOU!!! I have looked everywhere to find something like this. This is the 2nd video of yours that I have needed right on time.
I was wondering if scanned documents can be edited and just then you explained how it can be done! Watching your videos is always a great learning experience. Thanks for this tutorial!
Unfortunately my scanned document not working
My scanned document also does not work. There is something missing from your explanation. When I take a document that I’ve scanned to an image file and use your method of editing it by dragging the image off the top and to the side as you do, there is no text under the image that I can edit. What’s missing?
@@sky58king I have the same problem
Wonderful job, Kevin! Thank you for the education on such a useful subject.
I learnt a lot from watching your tutorials Kevin. This is the second time I’m watching this after like 2 years
Great Video Kevin. I wasn't aware one could do this in Libre Office. Excellent tip! Always find your content useful.
Dear sir ,Do libreoffice have diary like Microsoft onenote" .If so,can it match one note of Microsoft office ?
Kevin from Kevin in Leicestershire. You, sir, are a saviour for all wannabe computer experts. I love all of your videos. Thank you.
Can we all agree that Kevin Stratvert is the best.
Yes he is!
It's official! :D
Yes, yes and yes.
of course yes . my lad
Yes we can.
Very clear and helpful instructions - saved me from a BAD IT day!! LOL Thank you Kevin!
Wow, mighty handy, mighty useful. Would have never know this was possible if I hadn't stumble upon your channel. I have subscribed! Thx Kevin.
Yes that is the best pdf editor... Your videos are just so amazing
Is Kevin one of the people who liked this comment?
@@itsamazing22 No Ritesh Kevin is not yet one of those people. But at this point you have 12 others who liked it so I'd say you're doing fine.
@@doktormcnasty yea thanks!
Finally something that works properly. Great tool for PDF's
Thank you! It took me a long time before I found a permanently free pdf editor without a watermark.
this is my favourite youtube channel in regards to anything software related. I always look for your content if i have something i need to solve. THanks a bunch
Very informative video. Thanks
After searching for a PDF editor and getting so many broken promises from downloads that do nothing or that are complete scams this is a breath of fresh air. At last something that does what is says on the tin. Subscription done.
I was using Adobe Reader Pro on my computer (broken won't turn ON). So, this one can do the same things I needed for my job. Amazing!
Absolutely fantastic help. I have been wrestling with it on a scanned document from word to adobe, and I believe you have just saved me from pulling my hair out lol! Thank you!
Kevin...thank you for your exceptionally clear description of LO Draw...it has helped my search for an alternative pdf editor... your description of Draw has almost persuaded me to ditch Adobe Acrobat Editor...However a question when I directly open an Adobe PDF in LO Draw can I set it to show layers contained in the original Adobe PDF...I have opened such a pdf in Draw but I cannot find the layers.
This is so great! Good alternative for pdf files editor, than buying a crack adobe acrobat online. Thanks Kevin, you are really a big help to others. You present all your videos loud and clear, easy to understand especially for newbies. Thanks a lot man... 😉
I cannot thank you more! Really a helpful video Kevin!
13K likes, Zero dislikes, this tells me how helpful your vid is.....you go man
As always, Kevin doesn't disappoint! Keep up the great work, Sir! SALUTE 07
Finally a legit video for a student like me who can't afford Adobe Acrobat and not another fake "free" PDF editor apps video. Thank you so much!
As always. This was very helpful. Thanks a lot Kevin
I was looking for a good pdf editor for school projects but couldn't find any good ones for 1 month then I thought if you had a video about it and I was right. Thank you kevin!!
I use Libre Office for quite some while already and didn't know it has such a powerful tool. Very nice to know. Open Source software rocks.
Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏
Thanks so much, Robert! Much appreciated 🙏
Thank you! Love your classes.
I downloaded the Libreoffice for the PDF editor. The problem is my PDF file contains Chinese characters. Once I open the file, those characters are totally messed up.
I wonder if you can help on this. Thanks a lot!
Get rid of that chinese shat
You have never failed me Kevin. Thanks a million
Super. Never had a good tool for pdf editing. This is perfect. Thanks man
Thanks Kevin, I am going to try this one. I've been using Sedja by your suggestion also (and I ended buying the paying version) with some limitations. SO happy new and most important FREE software come out and then we have the option to choose what is better for us. Before we had just 1 company and it was so expensive. Appreciate your videos which are clear, direct to the point, and very educational..... Just a quick question between you and me: Does that Cookie company exists? 😎😁
Did you try it? What’s your opinion?
Good one Kevin. But the bar code in pdf is changed to a red colour bar. How to keep the bar code intact?
Man, I love you. You saved my day. That's a fantastic PDF Editor. I bet it's much better than other paid PDF Editors. I've just subscribed to your channel. Greetings from Brazil!
I was about to pay for a PDF Editor, luckily this video emerged. Thank you Kevin
I have always wondered if the PDF format is proprietary whose IP is owned by Adobe. There are many third-party PDF viewing and editing programs out there including paid ones. Do they have to pay Adobe for using PDF?
Yes that's the best because I have Linux and in that's we have libreoffice. Your tutorials are very informative, you explain really well thats why you get so much subscribers
I know, you've taught . It ans so much to so many people, you are helping us pursue our dreams! Love from Sweden
Life saver for the poor. Thanks bro helped me out big time.God will bless you.What and act of kindness.
Great video Kevin, really helpful. In your vid you have a scanned pdf of a letter, which you move aside as an image and the text is below. I tried this and didn't have any text. Is there a type of image to pdf scanning that creates the underlying text data?
Did you find an answer to your question? I have the same problem. please let me know if you have the answer.
Same issue here..
Lots of thanks for your such free support!
May Allaah, the Almighty Lord God always bless you with all His blessings on this earth and in the Heaven also!
allah
THANKS KEVIN YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE WITH GREAT TIPS!
Thanks. You gave a great presentation. I had been search for a free pdf editor, but without success. Draw looks good.
@Kevin Stratvert Hello Kevin,
Very good video! - But in one point a bit misleading.
The function to recognize a text from a scanned PDF does not exist in LibreOffice Draw.
The only possibility is to use the OCR integrated in the scanner. The "image to text" conversion is then already done by the scanner software. But LibreOffice Draw itself has - no - OCR function. The TH-cam PDF that you have edited in LibreOffice Draw has already been "translated" by the scanner. - Or am I missing something?
Many greetings from Germany,
Marvin Christ
When you moved the scanned pdf file, there was another file under it and you could edit the text. But when I move an image pdf the whole image moves and no underlying editable image
same here. any solution??
same with me. any solution?
I already had LibreOffice but I was searching for acrobat dc pro alternatives, I didn't know, what I was searching for is already I have.
Thanks for the Guide, Kevin : )
Very cool. Thanks for showing us some of the practical uses for LibreOffice Draw!
Well is there anything to say now! This is intense man!
I want a video on 'Cookie Awards' 2021😂😂
I have learn a very interesting PDF file from Kevin. You look great with a smile in explaining . I have to go step by step and try it . Kevin thank you so much, I love your smile.
I forgot to mention that how I appreciate your infos on youtube! Thank you!
7:18 What tool are you using to generate the OCR layer for your photographed image?
Me too. I tried and dose not work. It just shift the image to the side.
Hi Kevin, When I work with a scanned pdf document (like you showed with the letter from youtube), when I click and move the content aside nothing is left on the underlying document. This is online what you showed where the text is left over below for us to edit. How to fix this?
Same here. Any solution, please?
Same here, looks like several people are experiencing the same! The tutorial is good but please help with this fix?
Same here..Can you please give any solution for the same ?
same here, not workin
Your wry sense of humor is underappreciated.
Thanks Kevin, I have been looking for a good free editor for awhile -you read my mind.
1 st
You do not have to pay but they need donations to continue.
Nope. But they are superb to make you think so!
Thank you Kevin! Just what I was looking for. You are terrific!
Thanks a lot. I have been paying for Adobe for years. This is absolutely free.
Tried it, and its faster than Adobe's PDF editor that I paid +$100 a year for. Thanks.
Thank you so much. It is very helpful. You always deliver a high quality tutorial and great help for people. Keep up the good work !
Dear sir ,Do libreoffice have diary like Microsoft onenote" .If so,can it match one note of Microsoft office ?
