Dealing with PDFs is never easy. Unlike a Word document or an Excel spreadsheet, PDF is a rigid format. Once generated, it’s only used for viewing and sharing. But these days, way too many communications depend on PDF. You either have to sign a PDF, fill in a PDF form or sometimes, edit a PDF itself to correct a mistake. In times like this, you’ll need an app to make things easier for you. PDFelement for Mac is one such app.
Why Choose PDFelement?
PDFelement 6 is an all-in-one PDF manager app for Mac. It’s a swiss army knife utility using which you can view PDFs, edit PDFs, convert PDFs, create new PDFs and easily fill in PDF forms. If you’re opening a PDF which contains scanned copies, PDFelement will use OCR software to help you extract and edit the text.
PDFelement for Mac comes in two versions, the standard and the Pro. The Pro version has a bit more features which we’ll talk about below. For most users, PDFelement 6 should be more than enough. It costs $49.95 for a year’s license and $59.95 for a perpetual license.
Feature-wise, PDFelement is better compared to PDF Expert. Both apps have a good PDF reading experience but when it comes to editing, PDFelemnet is better and more intuitive. PDF Expert lacks some PDF editing features like background watermark, header and footer and so on). PDF Expert also doesn’t support the Split Document feature and it doesn’t help you convert PDF to multiple formats. At $79.99 for a license, PDF Expert is also more expensive.
Let’s talk about how you can use PDFelement 6 to quickly and easily edit PDF documents on your Mac.
