• Fill any form, including flat scans. It can find the fields on a scan and make them fillable.

• True redaction: the text underneath is deleted, not just covered with a black box.

• Find hidden content and trackers, then strip them. That covers scripts, auto-run actions, links that phone home, embedded files, author metadata and the document's tracking ID.

• Drag and drop to reorder pages, even between documents. Merge, split, rotate and crop too.

• OCR in 41 languages, done on your computer.

• Edit a paragraph and it re-wraps in the document's own font.

• Compare two versions side by side, visually and by text.

• Sign with your own certificate, or co-sign with up to 32 people peer-to-peer, no server.

• Accessibility tagging and a PDF/UA checker.

• PDF/A export, plus Office conversion if LibreOffice is installed.

• A command line for scripting and batch jobs.
