TL;DR: Get a PDF Agile PDF Editor Lifetime Subscription on sale for $40.
PDF editors like Adobe Acrobat ask you to pay a monthly subscription to use one of the most common file formats in the world. If you want a cheaper alternative, PDF Agile for Windows gives you many of the same tools for life, and it’s on sale for $39.99 (reg. $119).
PDF Agile lets you edit PDFs directly, even when they started as scans, so you don’t have to go back to the original Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file. For everyday reading and markup, you can switch between Read Mode, full-screen, and Slideshow, then add comments, highlights, underlines, strikethroughs, shapes, and freehand notes.
If you want a little extra security, you can lock a file with a password, redact sensitive text or images so they are gone for good, and apply electronic signatures in three different ways. Extra features cover a lot of small jobs: compare two PDFs side by side, compress large files, merge or split documents, crop, reorder, or rotate pages, add page numbers and links, run OCR on scans and screenshots, search text, build bookmark structures, add a solid background, and even turn a PDF into a simple presentation view.
PDF Agile is account-based, and this lifetime deal lets you use one account on two Windows devices at the same time.
Right now, it’s only $39.99 to get a PDF Agile Lifetime Subscription.
