All we need is to open a .pdf to EDIT a few lines and we already have Adobe's Acrobat 4.0 (old version) but are scared to install such an older product on a Vista machine. So where can we find a FREE download to JUST EDIT a few lines in the pdf file, WITHOUT ADDING UNWANTED WATERMARKS TO OUR PAGES and WITHOUT a bunch of fol-derol in order to do a free trial (like having to install .NET or some other kludgey junk first)??? Is this feature (editing a pdf file) really so complex & difficult that there is not a SIMPLE, FREE (REALLY FREE-no gimmicks) pdf EDITOR somewhere online??? Thanks for any suggestions. (Otherwise, we'll have to rely on ancient old Acrobat 4.!) Sheesh!

The nice thing is that there was no acrobat program start in the browser and it was seamless and fairly quick. It was like Schmooz or something but now I can't locate - ugh. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
