The free PDF editor for Mac
Edit, organize, combine, compress, fill, and sign PDFs in a fast native app. No watermarks, no trial clock, and the editor never asks you to pay.
Version 1.0.0 for Apple Silicon Macs (M1 or later), macOS 11 or newer. About 12 MB.
The tools you actually use, all of them free
Not a preview tier. Every tool below ships unlocked in the free download.
Edit a PDF
White out what is wrong and type what is right. Add text boxes and images, drag them exactly where they belong.
Organize pages
Delete, rotate, reorder, insert, and extract pages from a thumbnail view that works the way you expect.
Combine files
Merge contracts, exhibits, and scans into one clean PDF in seconds, in exactly the order you choose.
Fill and sign
Fill any form, draw or type your signature once, then place it on any page of any document.
Annotate and comment
Highlights, sticky notes, shapes, and freehand ink that stay put in every other PDF reader.
Search that finds things
Results stream in as you type, every match highlighted in context and grouped by page. It is the best part of the app.
Compress
Shrink a bloated PDF down to email size without visibly wrecking the pages.
Create and print
Start a new PDF from scratch or from images, and print with page controls that behave.
What Acrobat charges $240 a year for
We keep this table honest. Acrobat is a capable product, and if you need OCR or redaction today it earns its price. For everything most people do with a PDF every week, you should not have to pay anything.
1,800+ legal templates, built into the app
The editor is free and complete on its own. When you need an actual legal document, a lease, an operating agreement, a power of attorney, the Document.com library lives inside the app: answer plain-language questions and a finished, state-specific document opens as a new tab, ready to sign or send for e-signature.
That part is a subscription, and it is the reason the editor can stay free.
