It should also include OCR technology to make the PDF text searchable and editable. A good PDF editor should be able to transform a variety of file types-from Microsoft Office formats to images to HTML-and do so seamlessly, preserving the original formatting. The most fundamental function of a PDF editor is to make PDFs, either from scratch, scanned hard copies, or by converting digital documents. It’s important to know what features best match your workflow before you commit to a PDF editor. PDF editors come in a variety of flavors, offering varying feature sets-from basic functionality to power-user tools. Month-to-month options are also available, but at a higher cost, of course. Fortunately, there are three subscription tiers, which gives users a way to meet their editing needs without paying extra for unnecessary features: Basic for $8/mo Plus for $12/mo Premium for $15/mo with an annual commitment. While incredibly versatile, not all of pdfFiller’s advanced features will suit everyone.
For instance the Premium plan offers an impressive legal document library, as well as SignNow support. It has a surprisingly deep set of features for both personal and business use. A standard set of markup tools is also available. Its design is similar to a desktop app, with the toolbar across the top, and document thumbnails along the side, so it’s very easy to select the page you want to work on and perform the desired function, be it adding, deleting, or copying/pasting text changing font style, size, and color and so on. Some of the features – such as its OCR – are phenomenal and could be worth the admission price alone, but far too many important tools caused Foxit to crash, leading to a reluctant three stars out of five.PdfFiller is a browser-based PDF editor that allows you do to just about everything PDF-related-editing, securing, sharing, creating, and storing PDF files-all from its intuitive and simple web interface. When Foxit wrote “Everything in Acrobat at a fraction of the price”, it wasn’t joking: it has everything for a £146 one-off payment, compared to Adobe’s £181 annual subscription. As you can see from the screenshot above, Foxit also corrected the angle of a scan of a hand-printed, 18th century-style poster, recoloured it to make it more readable and made the text editable – with no mistakes.Ī list of the remaining features would fill another article twice over, but highlights include a tool that reads your PDF aloud, three page-measurement tools, batch printing, PDF optimisation, tracked review emails, OneNote compatibility and Bates numbering. When we threw the troublesome page from a 1981 copy of NME at it, the results, without any exaggeration, were jaw-dropping. Foxit’s pièce de résistance, though, is its OCR tool.
