TL;DR: PDF Agile Premium is an all-in-one PDF editor that lets you edit, convert, annotate, and secure PDFs—and a lifetime license is just $39.99 right now.

Edit PDFs: Full toolkit in one place

We all love it when we find a tool that just works well. Clean interface, fast performance and ideally something that doesn’t require five different apps to complete a single task.

But when it comes to PDFs, that simplicity often disappears fast. Suddenly, you’re converting files in one place, signing documents in another and trying to edit text in a tool that clearly wasn’t designed for it.

PDF Agile Premium can really help on that front. It’s an all-in-one PDF editor designed to handle just about everything you might want to do with a PDF—editing, converting, annotating, signing and organizing documents—without turning it into a whole production.

Right now, a lifetime license is $39.99 (MSRP $119) and works on both macOS and Windows, which is useful if your setup includes a MacBook at home and maybe a Windows machine at work.

One PDF editor to rule them all

The main appeal is that it covers the full PDF toolkit in one place. You can edit text directly inside PDFs, even if they were scanned documents, thanks to built-in OCR. If you need to convert files, PDF Agile can turn PDFs into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or image formats without completely destroying the formatting.

It also handles the everyday stuff professionals tend to run into:

• Merge or split PDFs when documents get messy
• Compress large files before sending them
• Add comments, highlights or annotations during reviews
• Apply electronic signatures to contracts and forms

Security features are included as well. You can password-protect documents or redact sensitive information, which is useful if you’re sharing files with clients or coworkers.

And if you’re the type who likes organizing things properly (which, let’s be honest, many Apple users are), tools like page reordering, bookmarks and searchable text make large PDFs much easier to manage.

The biggest advantage is simply having one clean tool for all PDF tasks. Instead of jumping between apps, browser converters and screenshot hacks, PDF Agile keeps everything in one place—which feels very much in line with the philosophy of keeping things simple.

Get lifetime access to PDF Agile Premium for $39.99 (MSRP $119).
