So, does anyone know of a SIMPLE piece of free software, that will
definitely allow me to work on this document 'in situ' and preferably by
just being able to define and select an area and then erase it, or define
and select an area then copy and paste it ?
Might try the free PDF-XChange reader from Tracker Software
http://www.tracker-software.com/pdf-xchange-products-comparison-chart
I don't use the free one, myself (been using their "Pro" version for
years) but it may have the ability to overlay existing content with a
rectangle, which can match the page's background color, and then add
comments over top of that, if desired. Then "print" the individual pages
out to PDF format.
Also try the free Foxit reader. I believe that it also has commenting
tools. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/

Hi Rich. I have the 'free' version of the Pro PDF-XChange reader, but have
not found anywhere in that one, that allows me to do a simple edit. I also
downloaded Foxit that I was sure would have the feature, but again, not as
far as I can see. It will do everything including scratching your arse for
you, but define - select - cut ? Nope ... :-|
You don't actually edit the existing text so much as stick a comment box
over it so that the area to be "erased" is still there (under the box)
but no longer visible. Print that page to a new PDF and voilą!
