Whether it’s a housing contract, application form, or school textbook, there’s no escaping PDFs. For the most part, that’s a good thing: This filetype is secure and universally accepted, after all. But when it comes time to edit that document, you need a reliable PDF editor, and even in a crowded field, PDF Expert stands out as one of the most versatile.
This software can change PDFs into most relevant file types, and back again; convert to Word, JPG, PNG, Excel, PowerPoint, or simple .txt. With a few clicks, individual pages can be combined or large documents separated; users can also merge multiple files.
The editing functions are where PDF Expert really shines, though. The tool turns stubborn documents into collaboration hubs, allowing you to change or edit text, remove images, and add links. Put “sticky notes” wherever you need them on a page, and add annotations that can be changed by any party you invite to access the file. Blocks of text can be highlighted and color coded to allow for easy recall of certain key passages. And, thanks to state-of-the-art OCR (optical character recognition), you can even work with difficult text like photo captions.
Once your PDF is ready to be finalized, clean it up with an impressive arsenal of enhancement tools: Heighten the contrast or remove shadows on phone pics or hasty screenshots, redact or restrict sensitive passages for your eyes only. These tools, and more, are why PDF Expert has earned high marks from tech sites and users alike.
