Create and scan PDF files
Create a new PDF, convert supported files into PDF, or scan paper documents into a new digital document workflow.
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.
Edit wording, dates, labels, images, and layout details directly in existing PDF files when a document needs correction before review, print, or delivery.
Use OCR to make scanned contracts, invoices, forms, and image-based PDF files searchable, then verify important recognized text against the scan.
Export PDF content to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, text, HTML, and eBook formats when documents need editing, reporting, or reuse outside PDF.
Combine several PDFs into one packet, split long files into smaller sections, and reduce file size for email, upload, archiving, and client delivery.
Add password protection before delivery, or remove a known password from a document you are authorized to unlock when editing or conversion is required.
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 a new PDF when the source is a document, image collection, or other supported file that needs to become a shareable PDF.
Bring paper documents into a digital PDF workflow for storage, review, OCR processing, and later page organization.
