    Adobe Acrobat DC is a full featured PDF editor. PDF Reader has a nice featureset for a PDF ... Reader, but is far from a complete PDF Editor.

    PDF Reader is a PDF Reader, not a PDF Editor. It even says it in the name.

    except editing files, it allows for everything you would like to do with a .pdf files. It is a buttons based app more like a GUI for a command line tool.
