TL;DR: Convert and edit PDFs on Mac or Windows with a lifetime license to AcePDF Converter & Editor, now $23.99 (reg. $99.99) with code DEAL20.
PDFs show up everywhere, from tax forms to rental applications, and most of them arrive in a format you can’t easily change. Full-featured PDF software usually fixes that with a monthly subscription. If you’d rather pay once, try AcePDF Converter & Editor, a desktop app that turns PDFs into editable files and back again. With code DEAL20, a lifetime license drops to $23.99 (reg. $99.99).
Turn any PDF into a file you can work with
Conversion goes in both directions. You can convert a PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text, HTML, PNG, or JPG, and AcePDF preserves the original layout, images, and hyperlinks. Going the other way, you can build a PDF from Word documents, spreadsheets, slides, or images. Batch mode converts a stack of PDFs in one pass, so you aren’t stuck feeding files in one at a time.
Scanned documents are usually where basic PDF tools give up. AcePDF has built-in OCR that extracts text from image-based PDFs in multiple languages, so an old scanned contract or a photographed receipt becomes text you can copy and edit.
Page tools come along with the converter. You can merge several PDFs into one, split out only the pages you need, rotate or delete pages, and pull every JPG and PNG out of a file in one click. Oversized files can be compressed for email, and a password can lock a sensitive document or unlock one you already have the password for. Forms get attention too. You can design an interactive form from scratch or fill an existing one with text, check boxes, shapes, and annotations, then add watermarks, stamps, and comments as needed.
Next to Adobe Acrobat Pro, AcePDF does most of the same everyday jobs, including conversion, OCR, form filling, compression, and password protection, but without a monthly bill. Reviewers on Trustpilot give it 4.4 out of 5 stars.
AcePDF runs on Windows 8, 10, and 11, plus macOS 12 or later with full Apple Silicon support. One license works on two computers, and updates are included. Conversion does need an internet connection. You’ll have 30 days after purchase to redeem your code.
Stop paying every month just to edit a PDF. Use code DEAL20 to get a lifetime license to AcePDF Converter & Editor for $23.99. Offer ends Nov. 15 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
