Editing tools surround your document, and the UI feels disorganized, offering few options for customization. This doesn't make this program bad at what it's supposed to do; it just makes you feel like you're working outside your chosen OS.
You can choose from 44 tools to create or convert PDF files. It's also easy to rearrange pages within a document, add watermarks, protect PDF files with passcodes, edit metadata within a PDF file, split or add pages to documents, and extract images. Actual text editing is pretty limited, the trade-off you make to enjoy a fairly feature-rich free PDF editor.
Once you've made your edits in PDF Candy, you can download the edited document or upload a new document to work on. PDF Candy keeps all of your documents in a queue so you can download them all at once after you've finished making changes to them. PDFescape used to limit you to 50 pages, so the higher limit is a welcome change. But PDFescape's annotation tools are easy to use. You'll find a pretty solid set of standard annotation tools that can easily add, highlight and strike through text; insert notes; and otherwise mark up the pages of your PDF file.
Using the web app's insert tools, you can also add new images and text to a document, white-out text, and add web links and form fields. PDFescape does have some major limitations in adding new text. Because there are no OCR capabilities, you can't make changes to existing text; you're limited to adding new text to an existing document. Additionally, the app has very limited font options, as it doesn't use any of your computer's fonts.
Apple's Preview app is built-in to the macOS and offers a minimalist but valuable set of tools for marking up any PDF file. You won't find full-on PDF editing here. But if you need a basic set of tools for highlighting or redacting text, making notes, or adding comments to a document, you won't likely need much more than what's already available on your Mac. Preview's markup tools are hidden when you first open a PDF document.
To see them, you'll have to look for the small pencil icon that appears near the Spotlight search bar at the top of your PDF document's toolbar. Clicking this reveals a small set of tools you can use to select text and add objects, text or notes to your document.
The app's standout feature is a signature tool you can use to store a signature you create using your trackpad or scan using your Mac's iSight camera. You can then easily add that signature to a document by clicking Preview's Signature tool. Simple and easy to use once you set it up, Preview's signing feature will prove its usefulness every time a digital document requires your John Hancock. You can access all of Preview's editing tools without opening Preview, as long as you're running macOS PDF Expert lacks OCR capabilities, so if you want to edit text in scanned documents, you'll need to look beyond this program.
Of all the apps I tested, PDF Expert has the cleanest interface and therefore was the most pleasant to use. Two tabs appear at the top of the screen: Annotate and Edit. Clicking one of them gives you an appropriate selection of tools to perform either annotation or editing tasks. PDF Expert's editing tools are flawless. Click text in your PDF, and tools for editing text will slide out so you can make changes.
Select an image, and tools for changing the image appear. You can move selected text anywhere on the page you want or remove it altogether. Until this program behaves more dependably, look elsewhere if you tend to work with larger documents. With those, you can fill in forms, annotate documents, create and add signatures, and edit images within a document. PDFelement had no problem opening anything I threw at it, including scanned documents, large files and image-heavy PDFs.
Once documents are open, PDFelement Pro offers a fairly simple interface, with a set of tools on the left side of your document that are easy to figure out. Just select a tool, and you can go to work making changes to the file. Editing images, adding signatures and using annotations in the application all worked as planned, but I did experience some odd behaviors when I was editing or adding text using PDFelement Pro.
In particular, when I was editing existing text in a document, the application wanted to make the text bold and would not allow me to change the content back to regular text. Also, when I added new text boxes, my own text did not display normally; the program always added a space after I typed an apostrophe. And the program constantly played my Mac's system beep as I typed. That's both annoying and not optimal.
As a plus, it can integrate with Microsoft Word. Its other functions ensure that only high quality PDFs are created; making it a chosen program for users who are looking for outputs that can match the quality and compatibility of Adobe Acrobat created documents.
