PDF Candy for Windows

Need to turn a PDF into Word, merge a few files or make one small enough to email? PDF Candy handles those everyday PDF jobs on a Windows PC, offline. The desktop app brings common PDF tasks together, including PDF-to-Word conversion and batch processing.

PDF conversion and compression

Choose a conversion tool to change a PDF into Word, or convert a Word document into PDF. The wider set of conversion options includes formats such as JPG, PNG, Excel, EPUB, and TXT. Compression reduces PDF file size, while the merge tool combines multiple documents into one.

PDF Candy also offers tools for splitting a document, extracting selected pages, and rearranging or deleting pages.

Batch document tasks

Batch processing lets you add multiple files for supported operations instead of handling each document separately. This is suited to repeated conversion or compression jobs. The desktop version is intended for offline PDF work, so the core workflow does not depend on using the web toolkit.

Additional PDF tools

Beyond conversion and page management, PDF Candy's tool collection includes OCR, text and image extraction, signing, password protection, rotation, cropping, and watermarking. OCR, for example, turns scanned pages into searchable text.

• Extract text or images from a document
• Rotate or crop PDF pages
• Add a signature, password protection, or watermark
