iSkysoft PDF Editor Pro 3.6

iSkysoft PDF Editor Pro is a handy application that allows you to create and edit PDF files. In addition, you can use it as a converter for turning PDFs into other document files.

Moreover, it comes with an OCR function that helps you extract the content from scanned PDFs in order to perform advanced editing.

The interface is modern and intuitive, providing the main features in plain sight. The moment you open the app, you encounter three modules that launch the most commonly used functions, such as creating a PDF file out of another document, combine multiple files into a single PDF, and convert PDFs into other documents. However, this is just a matter of structure, as the program provides other functions than those already mentioned, accessible from the drop-down menu. I refer to the merging, splitting, resizing, and adding watermark features.

Creating a PDF document from a source file is done in no time. Once a file is imported, the content is displayed and ready to support further editing. Specifically, you can insert new text, highlight words, add annotations, personal signature and stamps, apply password encryption, and so on. This software program not only preserves the pictures from the original file, but also allows you to make some adjustments, like cropping the image to better fit within the newly created document.

Furthermore, iSkysoft PDF Editor Pro lets you join multiple files in different formats into one PDF document. You have the possibility to preserve the original layout or to select a different page format. It is preferable to choose the last option, since the resulting file will look better in identically-sized pages. In addition, you are given the option to set the output file's quality, especially if it contains images. Thus, the program lets you compress the embedded pictures, as well as change the colors into black and white or grayscale. If you deal with files providing a great number of images and your intention is to save them with a size as small as possible, then you can rely on this smart feature to fulfill your needs.

Finally, the utility works as a converting tool. Namely, it allows you to convert PDFs into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, EPUB, HTML, and Text documents. What's good about this feature is that you can either convert the entire document or just specific pages. However, the conversion of selected paragraphs isn't possible. Moreover, a preview of the PDF files meant to be converted is not provided.

Overall, the program is good and stable. It comes with comprehensive features that cover most of a user's needs when dealing with PDF files. Yet, I consider the program rather pricy, taking into account that there are similar programs that provide the same features or free.
