Every free PDF website asks you to upload the document. That is fine for a takeaway menu and completely unacceptable for a contract, a medical record or a bank statement. These ten applications do the same jobs on your own machine, with the file never leaving your disk.
OmniForge is the all-in-one studio — every tool below, working on one open document with a single undo history. The rest are focused single-purpose tools: a full editor, a merger with Bates numbering, a splitter with seven modes, an annotator, a signer with real cryptographic signatures, a redactor that destroys content rather than covering it, a compressor, a converter and an offline OCR engine.
$9.99 each, or all ten in the PDF Power Suite for $49.99.
Whole categories in one ZIP — the same files, a fraction of the per-file price.
10 Windows PDF applications — every one works with no internet connection.
Every PDF job in one program: organise, merge, split, annotate, fill and sign, build forms, redact, convert, compress and OCR — all working on one open document with a single shared undo history.
A complete PDF editor that runs on your desktop: rearrange pages, mark documents up, add watermarks and page numbers, fill forms, password-protect with real AES encryption, and export to PDF or images.
Combine PDFs and images into one polished document — pick page ranges from each source, reorder every page across all files, then finish with bookmarks, a table of contents, page numbers and Bates numbering.
Break a PDF apart seven different ways — by page ranges, every N pages, into N equal parts, one file per page, odd and even, or by the pages you select — with a live preview of the exact files you will get.
Mark up PDFs the way you would on paper — highlight, underline, draw, add sticky notes, shapes and stamps — then save them as real PDF annotations any reader can open, or flatten them permanently into the page.
Sign PDFs without printing them. Draw, type or import your signature, drop it anywhere on the page along with initials, dates and checkmarks, fill in existing form fields, and export a flattened signed copy.
Redaction that actually removes the words. Drawing a black box in a normal PDF editor leaves the text underneath — RedactForge destroys the content, strips hidden metadata, then re-reads the result and proves nothing is left.
Shrink oversized PDFs without wrecking them. It inventories exactly why a file is large, shows you a per-image before-and-after plan, and only then commits — with a lossless mode that changes nothing visible at all.
Convert files to and from PDF without uploading them anywhere: images, Word, Excel, text, Markdown, HTML and CSV into PDF, and PDF back out to images, Word, text, HTML or Markdown.
Pull the text out of scans, screenshots and photos entirely offline. Seven language models ship inside the installer, so nothing is ever downloaded or uploaded — and it can write a searchable PDF with the text laid over the origi…
