PDF editor recommendations

[NC Scroller]

For the number of times I need it I just can't justify paying Adobe $180 a year for their PDF editor.  Looking for recommendations on a lower cost editor.  I know there might be some free tools out there but I worry that free software often contains virus and spyware.  My basic use will be to allow me to copy and paste parts of PDF documents into Inkscape or other like tools.

I use PDF Architect for this. The one Roly showed is much cheaper to purchase.

As Bob stated Foxit Reader and it's free, If you must buy I'm sure it's a 1 time payment..........

I prefer to use a screen shot utility, take a screen shot of the pdf, I use zscreen (free) but many like snagit.  In both you can set the utility preference to automatically open the graphic program and paste it there.

 

I have the adobe suite, pdf's can be a PITA to manipulate IMO
