FynePDF

FynePDF is a PDF editor that works in your browser and as a desktop app for Windows and Linux. It handles the everyday PDF jobs, and it does two things most PDF tools don't: it lets you design documents from scratch, and it gets files ready for professional printing.

What you can do:

- Edit the actual text and images in a PDF, not a text box on top

- Merge, split, compress, OCR, redact, fill and sign

- Convert to and from Word, Excel, PowerPoint and images

- Tell Fyne what to do in a sentence, check the steps, then run them

- Ask questions about a PDF and get answers that point to the page they came from

- Save a chain of tools as a workflow and run it again on new files

What makes it different

- Create (desktop app): a design studio with more than a hundred templates, text styles, shapes, charts, QR codes, free stock photos and a brand kit. Download as PDF, PNG, JPG or SVG.

- Print Studio (desktop app): preflight checks, CMYK with your printer's ICC profile, crop and bleed marks, booklets, cards, posters and n-up, text to outlines, numbered copies and a hot folder.

- Works offline: in the desktop app the PDF tools run on your own computer, so your files aren't uploaded. It's native (Qt and C++) and 148 MB installed.

Who it's for

People who fix PDFs every week at work or school, small businesses and designers who make flyers, invoices and certificates, and print shops that prepare jobs before they go to press.

Pricing

The free plan needs no card and doesn't expire. In the browser it includes 5 tasks a day; the desktop app has no daily limits or file caps. Paid plans start at $7 a month billed yearly ($10 monthly) and add Print Studio, batch processing, PDF/A, AI and most templates. No contracts and no cancellation fees.
