We discovered PDF Knowledgeable did an excellent job of sustaining the fonts, type and formatting of the unique PDF.
There are two choices for enhancing that yow will discover within the menu on the high of the web page: Annotate and Edit. Below Annotate you can find the instrument to simply add textual content to the PDF. You’ll be able to select the font and shade of the textual content right here.

Right here you could have the choice to really edit the textual content already on the web page, add photos, add hyperlinks, and redact delicate data (you may select to black out names, or you may seek for a particular phrase and delete each incidence of that.)
We had been in a position to choose textual content and transfer it across the web page. However as we discovered with all of the PDF editors right here, it wasn’t potential to pull and drop textual content between pages (to get round this we had been in a position to minimize and paste and nonetheless make a handsome doc).
Below the Annotate tab you can find choices to spotlight, underline, or strike-through textual content, in addition to a pan instrument meaning you may draw freehand in any shade, in addition to change the road width and opacity. There’s additionally a crop instrument right here. In Annotate you may also add sticky notes and stamps (e.g. an Approval). You’ll see a column of current annotations on the left so it’s simple to see what edits have been made and when. These annotations may be exported as HTML, textual content or markdown.
Including a signature can also be accomplished through the Annotate tab. You’ll be able to add multiple signature and these are added through the keyboard, trackpad, or a picture.

Resizing a big PDF was simple because of a Excessive/Low slider that indicated the scale of the ensuing file. There was additionally the choice to merge recordsdata, mix a number of paperwork into one PDF, or particular person pages from a number of paperwork.
We had one PDF that was scanned on our iPhone through the Notes app (we clarify scan a doc with an iPhone individually). Clearly such a doc will solely be acknowledged by the PDF editor if the editor has OCR skills which might be unlocked within the trial. PDFExpert couldn’t do that so we weren’t in a position to edit the textual content within the scanned doc, though we had been ready so as to add hyperlinks to sections of that doc. Clearly, we couldn’t search the scanned doc, or edit the textual content there.
We had been in a position to search regular PDFs although, and we had been in a position to seek for a phrase and redact each incidence of it both by blacking it out, or deleting it.
We had been in a position to export the PDF into Phrase, PowerPoint and Excel, in addition to to Textual content and Picture.
It’s a free seven-day trial, so if you happen to want the software program for longer than that and don’t wish to pay up then you would need to look elsewhere. However if you happen to don’t want one thing long run this trial presents every thing you want.
