While the actual text-editing tools in PDF Candy are as limited as on every other free PDF-editing app, everything else PDF Candy has to offer puts it head and shoulders above the other free options.Īpple's Preview application is built into every version of macOS, including macOS BIg Sur. PDF Candy keeps all of your documents in a queue so you can download them all at once after you've finished making changes to them. Once your changes are complete, you can download the edited document or upload a new document to work on.

When you finish one task on a document, you'll get a list of other tools you can use for different tasks. Additionally, you'll find tools for rearranging pages within a document, adding watermarks, protecting PDF files with passcodes, editing metadata within a PDF file, splitting or adding pages to documents, and extracting images.Īll these tasks are as simple as selecting the tool, uploading a document and allowing PDF Candy to work its magic. You can use 44 tools to create or convert PDF files. While you can't edit the OCR'd text directly within PDF Candy's web-based PDF editor, you can upload a PDF file and have PDF Candy extract text and create a text document, RTF file, or Word document in both. PDF Candy may be one of the more compelling free PDF editors, mostly because it offers an OCR option not available in other free PDF editors.
