This Adobe PDF competitor doesn’t require a subscription in this deal

If you work with PDFs regularly, you know how frustrating it can be to find an editor that doesn’t come with a monthly subscription. Adobe Acrobat may have been a mainstay for a while, but there’s an alternative PDF editor that you can own instead of rent. PDF Agile is an all-in-one PDF tool for Windows, and lifetime access is now only $39.99 (reg. $119).

Edit PDFs without a subscription

PDF Agile lets you edit text, rearrange pages, highlight or annotate, and even convert PDFs to and from Word, Excel, and PowerPoint without wrecking the formatting. It also has built-in OCR, which means you can scan printed documents and turn them into editable, searchable files.

It goes beyond the basics, too. You can compress large PDFs, split or merge files, add electronic signatures, and password-protect sensitive documents. If you’re comparing drafts, there’s even a side-by-side view to help you spot changes. The interface is clean and simple, so you won’t get buried under menus or need a tutorial just to find the crop tool.

Once you buy it, it’s yours. There are no subscriptions, no recurring charges, and no weird account linking. You can install PDF Agile on two Windows devices, and it works completely offline, which gives you more control over your files. If you’re ready to move on from Acrobat and want a one-time solution that covers all the essentials, this is a solid pick.

For a limited time, it’s only $39.99 to get a PDF Agile lifetime subscription.

Prices subject to change.
