This PDF Editor Is Like Adobe Acrobat Without The Monthly Subscription

Working with PDFs can get expensive if you rely on subscription software like Adobe Acrobat, but there is now a more affordable alternative. SwifDoo PDF Pro works a lot like Acrobat, but instead of a monthly subscription, you can get a perpetual license on sale for $29.97 (reg. $129).

SwifDoo makes working with PDFs easy. You can edit text, add or replace images, highlight important sections, and leave comments for easy collaboration. Files can be merged, split, or compressed to reduce size, and you can convert PDFs to other formats such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, and more. A built-in OCR engine recognizes text inside scanned documents so you can search, copy, and convert image-based files into editable text.

For larger projects, batch processing allows you to compress, convert, encrypt, or watermark multiple files at once while keeping the layout intact. Security tools let you add passwords or watermarks to protect sensitive documents or maintain branding.

Don’t pay a monthly fee just to use one of the most common file formats in the world.

Right now, you can get a SwifDoo PDF Pro Perpetual License on sale for $29.97.

Sale ends October 12 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
