This PDF converter and editor is $23.99 for life, no Acrobat subscription required

PDFs, ubiquitous in daily life, often arrive in formats that hinder editing. Traditional PDF software usually requires a monthly subscription to tackle this issue. If you prefer a one-time payment, a desktop app called AcePDF Converter & Editor may be the solution you seek. With a code DEAL20, a lifetime license costs $23.99, down from $99.99.

This app enables you to convert PDFs to editable files and vice versa. Compatibility includes conversion to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text, HTML, PNG, or JPG. AcePDF preserves the original layout, images, and hyperlinks during conversion.

Converting a PDF to another format or creating a PDF from Word documents, spreadsheets, slides, or images is equally straightforward. Batch mode allows the processing of multiple PDFs simultaneously, eliminating the need to feed files individually. Scanned documents pose a unique challenge for basic PDF tools. AcePDF addresses this by incorporating OCR, extracting text from image-based PDFs in multiple languages. This feature transforms old scanned contracts or photographed receipts into editable text.

Page management tools accompany the converter. You can merge several PDFs into one, remove unnecessary pages, rotate or delete pages, and even extract images from a file in one click. Oversized files can be compressed for email, and password protection features allow you to lock or unlock sensitive documents.

Form creation and editing are also accommodated in the app. You can create an interactive form from scratch, fill an existing one with text, check boxes, shapes, and annotations. Watermarks, stamps, and comments are additional options available. Like Adobe Acrobat Pro, AcePDF handles most everyday PDF tasks, including conversion, OCR, form filling, compression, and password protection, without the monthly expense.

AcePDF runs on Windows 8, 10, and 11, plus macOS 12 or later with full Apple Silicon support. One license can be used on two computers, and updates are included. An internet connection is required for conversion. A 30-day window exists after purchase to redeem the code. This offer, valid until Nov. 15 at 11:59 p.m. PT, can be redeemed using code DEAL20.
