What is PDFpen?

Enhance productivity with refreshingly simple, versatile, and powerful document editing. PDFpen is a comprehensive, all-purpose PDF editing toolkit for macOS. Major features include:

Markup: Add text, images, signatures, highlights, and comments to documents. Edit: Directly make changes, fix typos, fill out forms, merge documents and extract pages, redact sensitive information, add watermarks, page numbers and headers & footers. OCR: Import scanned documents and use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to turn a scan into editable text. Convert: Export from PDF to Microsoft Word for more in-depth text changes. Save & Collaborate: Store your documents in iCloud, Dropbox, Evernote or any other cloud service for convenience and collaboration.

PDFpenPro has everything from PDFpen, and more! Powerful form-building tools, batch OCR, export options to Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint and PDF Archive formats, control over document permissions and tables of contents are just a few extras.

PDFpen is ideal for anyone who seeks long term value and needs more PDF editing power than Preview, but not the advanced printing and security features of Acrobat.
