OCR for scans
Recognize text on scanned pages so it can be searched and copied. Pages that already contain text are skipped.
Annotate
Highlight, draw, stamp, sign and add notes without changing the page underneath.
Edit
Move page objects, rewrite printed text, place images and add links.
Fill & Sign
Type into real fields, tick boxes, choose radio buttons and sign blank areas.
Export
Send clean PDFs, compressed PDFs, images, Word files or print-ready output.
Zoom
Pan, zoom and inspect large documents without fighting the editing tools.
Review without damaging the page
Annotation tools that behave like PDF annotations.
Highlights follow selected text. Pencil, pen, lines, rectangles, ellipses, text boxes, notes, stamps and signatures sit on top of the PDF and can be moved, resized, restyled or removed later.
- Sticky note bubbles with author, time and color.
- Draft, Approved and custom stamps.
- One labelled undo step for each markup.
Built for real PDFs
The app tells the truth about what a PDF can hold.
When a command would fake a result, it stays unavailable and explains why. You can rewrite real text, search and copy text, edit solid colors, place images and links, while controls that would require impossible paragraph reflow stay honest.
Text
Select, copy, search, rewrite, resize and recolor real PDF text.
Pages
Add, duplicate, rotate, crop, extract, merge and reorder pages.
Forms
Detected fields light up under the pointer and follow the document tab order.
Redaction
Apply real redaction so hidden text is removed from the file.
Color and print
Preview the plates before the file reaches press.
Pdf Editor Pro understands screen and print color. It detects RGB, CMYK and named spot inks, shows which inks the document uses, and previews individual printing plates for production checks.
Separations palette
Solo or hide plates, inspect coverage under the cursor and switch print-view behavior.
Everything in reach
A complete document workflow, not a markup toy.
Forms and signatures
Fill fields, tick checkboxes, choose radio buttons and drag saved signatures from a palette.
Page organization
Use thumbnail grids to move pages, insert from another PDF, extract ranges and assemble final packets.
Watermarks and numbers
Add page numbering, Bates labels, headers, footers and watermarks, or remove existing watermarks.
Export choices
Export as PDF, compressed PDF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, DOCX, or a single page as SVG.
AI assistant control
Connect Claude Desktop, Codex, VS Code or any MCP client to open, search, annotate, edit and render documents.
AI-ready without a separate workflow
Let an assistant do the same document work you can do.
Open Help, copy the MCP configuration, and your assistant can read pages, search for words, highlight, add notes and stamps, rewrite text, move pages, fill fields, apply watermarks, render pages and undo actions through the same machinery as the app UI.
