TL;DR: AcePDF Converter & Editor handles PDF conversion, editing, OCR, and form building on Windows and Mac for a one-time $23.97 (MSRP $99.99).
Most PDF editors either charge a monthly fee or only handle one job well. AcePDF Converter & Editor is a lifetime license on sale during Deal Days, PCWorld’s answer to Prime Day, that does conversion, editing, and OCR in one app.
On the conversion side, AcePDF batch-processes PDFs into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, and image formats while keeping the original layouts and hyperlinks intact. Going the other direction, you can merge Word docs, spreadsheets, and images into a single PDF in a few clicks.
OCR is built in, so scanned documents become editable text without a separate tool. Beyond conversion, AcePDF lets you merge, split, compress, rotate, and password-protect files. A form builder rounds things out, letting you create fillable PDFs with text fields, checkboxes, and annotations from scratch. Both the Windows and Mac versions now support the full feature set, and one license covers two devices. AcePDF holds a 4.4 out of 5 on Trustpilot.
Stop paying monthly for a PDF editor you barely use.
