After using various online services and downloading multiple apps, I finally found a reliable alternative to my old PDF editing habits – PDFgear. The app is free to download and available on most platforms, making it an excellent choice for those looking to edit PDFs without breaking the bank.
One of the main reasons I switched from ilovepdf, one of the most popular online PDF editors, was its limitations. Many free PDF editors don’t truly allow users to make changes to a document, forcing them to upgrade to a paid version. PDFgear, on the other hand, offers a host of features that let you take full control of your PDFs.
Some of these features include merging and splitting multiple PDFs, converting PDFs into Word documents, compressing files to reduce size, and extracting text using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology. The OCR feature is particularly impressive, with no typos in the final output.
Another standout feature is the Screenshot OCR tool, which allows you to select any portion of your screen and extract text from it. This feature works seamlessly even for files scanned using a smartphone camera.
The accompanying mobile app on both Android and iOS has the same set of features as the desktop version, making it easy to edit PDFs on-the-go without an active internet connection.
Overall, I’m impressed with PDFgear’s functionality, user interface, and affordability. If you’re looking for a reliable PDF editor that won’t break the bank, PDFgear is definitely worth checking out.
