Adobe Acrobat is pretty much the industry standard when it comes to PDF editors, but you also have to pay for it every month. If you don’t want to pay subscription fees just to work with an extremely common file format, try switching to SwifDoo. This simple PDF editor lasts for life with no recurring costs, and it’s only $29.97 (reg. $129).
SwifDoo handles everyday tasks like editing text, annotating pages, and combining or splitting files with a straightforward interface that doesn’t require a learning curve. You can create new PDFs, insert images, or add digital signatures, all from a single local application. It also converts documents to and from Word, Excel, JPG, CAD, EPUB, and more.
Advanced features include batch processing, OCR (for recognizing text in scanned PDFs), watermark removal, and document encryption. And because it runs locally on your PC, your files stay private and don’t need to be uploaded to a cloud server.
It’s only $29.97 to get a SwifDoo lifetime license, but that price is available for a limited time. This sale ends on April 27 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
