Its text-editing tools are a bit limited but this PDF editor excels at converting and creating files. PDF Candy also took the top spot on our list of the best free PDF editors. If you just want to annotate documents and have a Mac, then you don’t need to look further than Apple’s Preview app which is built-in and ships with macOS. Preview is also easy to use and completely free. So too is PDFescape (for files up to 100 pages) and since this browser-based tool works with everything from Chrome to Firefox, it’s the best PDF annotation tool you can use for free on all of your devices. In addition to these recommendations, we also tested PDF Expert, PDFelement Pro and Sejda PDF Desktop Pro. Each of these apps have their strong points but ultimately there are too many quirks for these programs to rank them on our list of the best PDF editors. PDFpenPro is a macOS-only PDF editor that's been available for many years. (That version, PDFpen, is available for iOS devices as well as Macs.) It's also available in a less expensive version with fewer editing options. PDFpenPro is a standout for Mac users thanks to its solid features, not the least of which is an excellent OCR engine. With full PDF-document editing, you can make changes to text and replace images in PDF documents. The application's OCR tools are rock-solid.Īdditionally, you can create PDFs from scratch, create or edit forms, and create tables of contents for your PDF documents. When you open an existing PDF file in PDFpenPro, the application automatically detects whether the document you're working with is a scanned image or already contains selectable text.
If it's the former, the application asks whether you want it to recognize the text on the page.Įven with large documents topping 400 pages, PDFpenPro handled text recognition seamlessly in a matter of minutes, making the text searchable and editable.
