TL;DR: Get a SwifDoo PDF Editor perpetual license for only $30 with code PRO.

PDF editing shouldn’t require a monthly subscription. If you only need to edit text, combine files, or export to Word, Adobe Acrobat is overkill. A cheaper alternative is SwifDoo PDF Pro. This new PDF editor has a perpetual license on sale for only $29.97 (reg. $129), but this sale won’t last much longer.

SwifDoo works like a standard editor. You can open a file, rewrite text, insert or reorder pages, drop in images, and add mark-ups. The built-in OCR turns scans into searchable, editable text, which helps when you receive image-based PDFs. Conversions are straightforward. Export PDFs to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, EPUB, or CAD, then round-trip back to PDF without wrecking the layout.

Merge multi-file projects into one, split large packets into smaller sets, or compress a file for email size limits. Add watermarks, set password-based restrictions, and apply digital or handwritten signatures to speed approvals.

Don’t pay monthly for software you can own.

Use code PRO to get a SwifDoo PDF Pro Perpetual License on sale for $29.97.
