.SH NAME
freepdfeditor \- cross-platform native desktop PDF editor
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B freepdfeditor
.RI [ file ... ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
FreePDFEditor is a native desktop PDF editor with a true WYSIWYG interface and
full content editing: edit existing text with reflow, replace images,
manipulate vector objects, plus annotations, forms, signatures, and page
assembly.
.PP
Unlike overlay-style editors it parses each page's content stream into a
semantic model, lets the user manipulate that model directly, and re-emits
the content stream on save, so the output remains searchable, accessible,
and copy-pasteable.

.SH ENVIRONMENT

and cache storage.
