Can I try it before buying?

Yes. The free browser tools let you join, merge selected pages, split, rotate, and draw arrows. OCR, batch processing, New PDF, full annotation, and signing are desktop features.

Does signing send the document to a service?

No. Draw, type, or import a signature and place it in your PDF locally. This is not a cloud e-signature workflow.

Which systems are supported?

The supplied release is a Windows zip and a Debian/Ubuntu amd64 .deb package. On Windows, extract the zip and run PDF Editor.exe. Choose the matching package at purchase.

Will this rewrite existing PDF text or fill forms?

The tools described here focus on annotation, page organization, OCR, and signing. Form filling and rewriting existing paragraphs are not part of this offer.

How do I check a file?

On Windows, open PowerShell and run Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 -LiteralPath "path-to-download". On Linux, run sha256sum "path-to-download". Compare the entire result; uppercase and lowercase mean the same thing. If it does not match, download again or contact us before opening the file.
