A PDF editor can be super handy. Though, you don’t need to waste your money subscribing to Adobe Creative Suite to gain access to Adobe Acrobat. PDF Expert is a premium editor and StackSocial right now has a lifetime subscription to the software application for just $80 — a 42% discount.
What Can You Do With a PDF Editor?
A PDF editor lets you do exactly that — edit PDFs. The normally locked-down file type now opens up to all sorts of changes. You can sign. annotate, fill out form fields, compress, merge, convert, and more.
Change text easily to fix typos, update numbers, or add entire paragraphs. This saves you the time of trying to find the original Word doc or whatever file type it started as. Just make your edits right there in the file you’re looking at. You can insert images, update logos in a contract, or add new information to a report. Links can be added too — super helpful to connect to other pages in the PDF or to external websites.
Annotations make collaborative workflows so much easier. You can highlight what’s important so that part stands out at a glance. Comment directly within the file with pop-up notes so you can write your thoughts in the margins, then share with the rest of your team. Custom stamps can be added to improve document review even further. There are a number of default stamps within the application to choose from as well.
Organizing multiple PDFs becomes a breeze with PDF Expert. You can merge multiple files into one PDF document, or add, delete, rearrange, or rotate PDF pages on the fly. Then convert your PDF to a different file format like Word, image, Excel, PPT, text, and more.
Text is recognized automatically thanks to OCR. That means you can search, highlight, and copy. Nothing worse that trying to find one specific word in a 50-page doc, but the search function isn’t working.
