Subscriptions have taken over everything, from streaming to software—PDF editors included. If you’ve been paying Adobe Acrobat’s fees for as long as you can remember, here’s a reality check: you don’t have to. A lifetime PDF editor tool is a far more cost-effective way to edit, sign, convert, and manage PDFs than any subscription-based software. One we’re sharing today is SwifDoo PDF Pro—only $29.97 for a lifetime Windows license (reg. $129). It’s not anything fancy… it’s software that lets you create PDFs, mark up documents, edit text, convert formats, password-protect files, and more. SwifDoo also has OCR capabilities that recognize text in your documents, allowing you to search, highlight, and copy it. And, if you ever need to convert a large batch of PDFs at once, this tool has your back. Basically, it’s Adobe Acrobat in a far more affordable format.
