PDF Editor

Stable · version 0.0.0 · Windows 10/11, 64-bit

Fill forms, sign, and reorganise or merge pages.

PDF Editor does the handful of things most people actually open Acrobat for. Fill in and save PDF forms. Add a signature or your initials. Reorder, rotate, delete, and merge pages. The file is read from your disk and written back to your disk — it is never uploaded to a conversion service, and there is no account to create.

What it replaces

Replaces Adobe Acrobat Pro — about US$240/yr. PDF Editor handles forms, signing, and page assembly. For redaction workflows, PDF/A archival, or Bates numbering, Acrobat is still the tool.

What it does

  • Fill in and save interactive PDF forms
  • Place a signature or typed initials anywhere
  • Reorder, rotate, and delete pages
  • Merge several PDFs into one
  • Everything happens locally — nothing is uploaded
  • No account, no watermarks, no page limits

Installing on Windows

The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows a blue “Windows protected your PC” box the first time you run it. Click More info, then Run anyway. Buying code-signing certificates is one of the things donations pay for.

The installer’s first screen offers Full install (a Start-menu entry and an Apps & features listing) or Unzip (just extracts the program folder to a location you pick — no registry changes).

Every release on GitHub lists a SHA-256 hash for each file so you can verify your download. PDF Editor checks for a newer version when it starts and offers to fetch it — you always get a prompt, never a silent update.

PDF Editor is free.

Donations are what pay for keeping it maintained and signed.
