What you can do

Everything the administration team uses Acrobat for, without the monthly bill.

Open, view & find

Open any PDF, zoom, jump pages, browse thumbnails, and search the text with Find (Ctrl+F). Handles large documents smoothly.

Add text & markup

Drop text boxes, highlights, freehand drawing, shapes, and images anywhere on the page.

Sign & fill forms

Draw a signature and place it, and fill out existing PDF form fields.

Manage pages

Reorder, rotate, delete, insert blank pages, crop, merge several PDFs, or split one apart.

Send for signature new

Place signature fields on a contract and email it to a customer for a legally binding e-signature. They sign in their browser, PFS countersigns, and everyone gets the sealed copy. Track it all from the app.

Save anywhere

Save or Save As to your computer with every edit baked into the file. Undo and redo anything.

Edit existing text beta

Click a line of text to change it in place. Still in testing, so a few documents may not be perfect yet.

Install it (Windows, about 5 minutes)

A quick one-time setup.

  1. Click Download for Windows above. If your browser asks whether to keep the file, click Keep. It lands in your Downloads folder as PDF-Editor-Setup.exe.
  2. Double-click the file to start the installer.
  3. Windows may show a blue box that says "Windows protected your PC." This is normal because the app is brand new. Click More info, then Run anyway.
  4. Click through the installer (Next, then Install) until it finishes.
  5. Open PFS PDF Editor from the Start menu.
Why the warning? This is an internal build that isn't registered with Microsoft yet, so Windows shows a caution screen. It is safe to run. Choosing "Run anyway" lets it install.

Install it (Mac, about 2 minutes)

For Apple Silicon Macs (M1 and later).

  1. Click Download for Mac above. It lands in your Downloads folder as a .dmg file.
  2. Open the .dmg and drag PDF Editor into your Applications folder.
  3. Open PDF Editor from Applications. That's it.
Registered with Apple. The Mac app is signed and notarized, so it opens with a normal double-click. No security workarounds needed. Like Windows, the Mac version updates itself on launch.

How to use it

The basics to get going.
