Get these PDF editing tools on Mac/Windows

PDF is the standard universal file format for people that work with documents, but it can be tricky to modify. That said, many web-based applications offer advanced PDF editing solutions to do things like add text to a PDF file or insert images.

Online PDF editors such as iLovePDF offer a fast and easy solution to almost everything PDF-related. However, if you deal with large file sizes or prefer working offline, you might ask the question, How can I edit a PDF file on my Mac or Windows PC?

Handle PDF files offline with iLovePDF Desktop

Some people prefer the security and comfort of their personal computers when they work with PDF documents. That’s why there are also desktop applications with built-in features to help you get most of the jobs done without an internet connection. 

In addition to the website, iLovePDF offers a feature-rich Desktop App. Although it isn’t as extensive as the online PDF editor, it offers tools to help you get these common PDF document management tasks completed offline:

• Easy document manipulation. To make your PDF look exactly how you need it to be, you can take advantage of iLovePDF’s built-in tools. Merge PDF files, separate PDF pages, rotate, and compress PDFs to a smaller file size all in one place.
  
• Accurate file conversion. Sometimes it is necessary to convert PDFs to other formats so they can be opened in specific Microsoft Office programs. To resolve this problem, the desktop app includes tools to convert PDF to and from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and JPG format without needing to use separate programs. 
  
• Secure document protection. If you need to secure your PDF documents, iLovePDF’s Desktop app can facilitate this. Use the Protect PDF tool to password-protect sensitive information or apply the PDF to PDF/A function to preserve important documents long-term.
