TL;DR: PDF Reader Pro turns your Mac into a full PDF editor with text editing, OCR, forms, and redaction, and a lifetime license is on sale for $40 (reg. $79.99).

Editing a PDF on a Mac usually means exporting to another format or paying monthly for Acrobat because the built-in Preview app really only handles annotation. PDF Reader Pro turns your Mac into a full editing suite, and a lifetime license is on sale for $39.99 (reg. $79.99).

PDF Reader Pro makes quick work of files that are usually deeply frustrating. It can rewrite the original text and swap out images right inside a PDF, close to how you’d edit a Word file. Page management is just as flexible, letting you merge, split, rotate, crop, and reorder pages as often as a document demands. Batch mode compresses, encrypts, and watermarks stacks of files at once instead of one at a time.

OCR reads scanned documents and turns them into searchable, editable text, so a pile of old paper stops being a dead end. You can build fillable forms, fill and sign existing ones, and add a legally binding digital signature when a contract calls for it. A redaction tool blacks out sensitive lines permanently, and password protection keeps private files locked down.

Pay once instead of renting a PDF editor by the month.
