Need to fix text in a PDF, comment on a draft or work with a scanned file? PDF-XChange Editor brings those tasks together, including markups for reviews and OCR for scanned pages.
PDF markups and page changes
For a document review, select text to highlight it or add a comment, shape, or callout to a page. Text-editing tools also handle corrections within the PDF, while page controls let you organize the document without leaving the editor.
The FreeSign tool adds signatures and initials. Placeholder marks tell the next person exactly where to sign or initial.
What can OCR and form tools do?
OCR processes scanned pages so their contents can be worked with as text. Editor Plus includes an enhanced OCR engine; its form tools can create fillable forms and convert image-based or non-interactive PDFs into forms with clickable fields.
Form properties include options for the fields' style, layout, and behavior. Dynamic stamps can insert details like today’s date.
Document review and analysis
Compare Documents summarizes changes between two PDFs, including inserted, deleted, replaced, or restyled content.
The AI Assistant can analyze and interact with PDF documents with AI models from several major providers. It requires an AI account API key; document data is not sent to an AI model through this feature until a key is provided.
