Edit PDF Text and Images on Windows

GiliSoft PDF Editor is a Windows desktop product for correcting PDF text and images, creating searchable text-layer PDFs from scans, converting document content, combining or separating pages, reducing file size, and preparing protected copies.

It fits contracts, reports, proposals, invoices, scanned archives, forms, and client documents that need practical changes before review, reuse, printing, upload, or controlled delivery.

PDF Editor Features

PDF Text and Image Editing

Edit wording, dates, labels, images, and layout details directly in existing PDF files when a document needs correction before review, print, or delivery.

Searchable Text-Layer PDFs

Use OCR to make scanned contracts, invoices, forms, and image-based PDF files searchable, then verify important recognized text against the scan.

PDF Conversion for Reuse

Export PDF content to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, text, HTML, and eBook formats when documents need editing, reporting, or reuse outside PDF.

Merge, Split, and Compress PDFs

Combine several PDFs into one packet, split long files into smaller sections, and reduce file size for email, upload, archiving, and client delivery.

Encrypt and Decrypt Authorized PDFs

Add password protection before delivery, or remove a known password from a document you are authorized to unlock when editing or conversion is required.

Protect PDF from Ordinary Copying

Create a protected delivery copy when a standard open PDF would be too easy to copy or redistribute. Test the recipient workflow before broad delivery.

Create New PDF Documents

Create a new PDF when the source is a document, image collection, or other supported file that needs to become a shareable PDF.

Scan Documents into PDF

Bring paper documents into a digital PDF workflow for storage, review, OCR processing, and later page organization.

Additional PDF Tools

Create and scan PDF files

Create a new PDF, convert supported files into PDF, or scan paper documents into a new digital document workflow.

Compress delivery copies

Reduce file size for email, upload, or storage, then inspect image quality, text clarity, links, and page order in the result.

Repair damaged PDF files

Use PDF Repair when a damaged document cannot open normally. Keep the damaged original and verify every recovered page before relying on the repaired copy.

Separate encryption from protection

Encrypt PDF adds password access. Protect PDF prepares a more controlled delivery copy. Choose according to how the recipient needs to open and use the document.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can GiliSoft PDF Editor edit text and images directly?

Yes, for supported PDF content. Always review fonts, spacing, image placement, and page appearance after making changes.

Can it make a scanned PDF searchable?

Yes. TextLayer PDF uses OCR to create searchable text from image-based pages. Recognition results should be checked against the original scan.

Can it merge, split, and compress PDFs?

Yes. These tools help organize reporting packs, extract focused sections, and prepare smaller delivery files.

What is the difference between Encrypt PDF and Protect PDF?
