PDF editing software options include Adobe Acrobat and PDF Expert

Various software options are available for PDF editing, conversion, and management, ranging from subscription-based models to lifetime licenses.

Adobe offers two primary tiers for its Acrobat software: Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro. The Standard version is designed for basic editing, conversion, and signing of office PDFs. The Pro version includes advanced features such as optical character recognition (OCR) for scanned documents, PDF comparison, redaction of sensitive information, branded agreements, and bulk e-signature tracking. Pricing for Acrobat Standard is approximately US$14.99 per month on an annual plan, while Acrobat Pro is US$19.99 per month.

For Mac users, PDF Expert by Readdle provides an alternative. The application allows users to edit text, replace images, add links, and manage document structure by merging or splitting files. It also features OCR, scanning tools to improve document clarity, and the ability to redact information. A limited-time offer provides lifetime access to the software for US$79.99, reduced from its regular price of US$139.99.
