In detail

Everything PDF Reader Pro: Edit PDFs can do

Edit the real text

Most PDF apps put a box on top of the page. PDF Reader Pro changes the words themselves. Click any line and retype it — the original font is kept whenever possible, and the advanced editor previews every change before you apply it, even many at once.

Annotate like on paper

  • Add text boxes with any font, size and color
  • Highlight passages in six colors
  • Draw freehand with a smooth pen
  • Place images anywhere, then move and resize them freely
  • Undo and redo everything

Sign PDFs in seconds

Draw your signature with the trackpad, type it in a handwriting font or import an image. Save it once and reuse it on every contract — just click where it belongs.

Organize pages

  • Drag thumbnails to reorder pages
  • Rotate, duplicate, insert blank pages or delete them
  • Drop PDFs into a document to merge them
  • Extract a range of pages into a new file
  • Export pages as PNG or JPEG at the resolution you choose

Find anything

Instant search highlights every match across the whole document. Jump through chapters with the table of contents and move around with the page and zoom controls.

Share with confidence

  • Protect documents with an open password and a permissions password
  • Remove passwords from files you own
  • Flatten annotations so they look the same in every app
  • Compress large files before sending them
  • Print, or share straight from the toolbar

FAQ

PDF Reader Pro: Edit PDFs questions

Can I edit the existing text of a PDF on Mac?

Yes. PDF Reader Pro edits the real text of the page instead of placing a box on top. Click any line, retype it, and the original font is kept whenever possible. The advanced editor previews every change before you apply it.

How do I sign a PDF on my Mac?

Draw your signature with the trackpad, type it in a handwriting font or import an image of it. Save it once, then click anywhere on a document to place it — on every future contract too.

Can PDF Reader Pro merge, split and compress PDFs?

Yes. Drop PDFs into a document to merge them, extract a range of pages into a new file, reorder or delete pages, and compress large files before sending them.

Does PDF Reader Pro upload my documents?

No. Everything happens on your Mac. There is no account, no uploads and no tracking.

Is it a good alternative to Adobe Acrobat on Mac?

For everyday document work — editing text, signing, annotating, organizing pages, passwords and compression — PDF Reader Pro covers what most people use Acrobat for, in a native Mac app included in the SunTeame membership.
