PDFs are easy to open and hard to change. Fixing one typo in a contract can mean hunting down another app. Sometimes it means paying for another subscription too.

PDF Expert Premium from Readdle handles those jobs on your Mac. For a limited time, a lifetime subscription costs $79.99.

You can edit text directly in a PDF, swap in new images, and add links. Annotation tools let you highlight passages, leave notes in the margins, and stamp documents for review. You can also merge files, split them apart, and rearrange or rotate pages.

The conversion tools work in both directions. PDF Expert can turn PDFs into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text, and image files. It can also turn JPG, PNG, and Office files into PDFs. On top of that, you can fill out forms, add your signature, and black out confidential details before you send a file.

Scanned documents get help too. Text recognition (OCR) makes scans searchable, so you can highlight and copy text from them. The scan tools can also remove shadows, fix distortion, and split double-page scans into separate pages. If most of your work happens on a Mac, it’s a practical tool to have on hand when you need it.

A few things to know before you buy. This subscription is for new PDF Expert users only, and it requires macOS 12.0 or later. You’ll need to redeem your code within 30 days of purchase. After that, you can use it on an unlimited number of personal Mac devices. Readdle continues to provide support and bug fixes, but some new features may cost extra later on.

If you’d rather pay once than pay per month, this is worth a look. Get a lifetime subscription to PDF Expert Premium for Mac for $79.99 (reg. $139.99).
