Open the Document
Choose Edit PDF from Home, then use Open to load the file. Navigate to the required page and zoom in on the content you want to update.
GiliSoft PDF Editor brings text and image editing, form filling, comments, OCR, conversion, and PDF organization together in one Windows application. Correct a contract, update a proposal, complete an interactive form, or mark up a report without recreating the whole document from its source files.
Work directly with supported text and image objects, add text notes, shapes, and stamps, and review pages at the right zoom level. For paper records and image-based files, use Scanner to capture pages and TextLayer PDF to add searchable text. Keep the page image while making recognized words easier to find.
Convert PDFs to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, pictures, text, HTML, or eBook output for reuse, and create PDFs from supported Office files, WPS documents, images, and eBooks. Merge separate attachments into one file, split a long PDF into smaller outputs, or choose a compression preset to reduce the size of a sharing copy.
Add a password with Encrypt PDF, use Protect PDF for content-protection tasks, and access PDF repair or recovery tools when a file is damaged or missing. Choose the task you need, save a finished copy, and review the result before sharing. Follow the PDF Editor user guide for illustrated steps, or download the free trial to work with your own documents.
Change wording, dates, labels, and supported image objects in existing PDFs. Correct proposals, reports, and client documents without rebuilding their entire layout.
Add comments, text notes, lines, shapes, and stamps to communicate changes and explain details. Keep review feedback alongside the relevant page content.
Enter information in existing form fields and use the form tools when working with structured documents. Highlight fields, check the entered values, and save a completed copy.
Open TextLayer PDF to add recognized text to scanned or image-based pages. Keep the visible page appearance while making its words easier to search and locate.
Export to Word DOC/DOCX, Excel XLS/XLSX, PowerPoint PPT/PPTX, pictures, TXT, HTML, and supported eBook formats. Choose the output for editing, reporting, or reading.
Use File to PDF for supported Office, WPS, image, and eBook sources. Prepare consistent PDF copies of documents and pictures for review, printing, or archiving.
Combine several PDFs, adjust the source file order, set the output file name, and choose a destination. Use Unify page width when mixed page sizes need consistent width.
Open Split PDF and use Modify to review the Split Type for the loaded document. Prepare smaller outputs for separate attachments, focused review, and document organization.
Choose a compression preset and review the Estimated Size in the file list. Save a lighter copy, then check small text and embedded images at full view.
Set the Password field in Encrypt PDF and create a protected sharing copy. Use Decrypt PDF for supported existing protection when normal document handling is needed.
Start with blank pages or create PDF content from text, RTF, and image files using the document-creation tools. Save the new document separately from its source material.
Use the scanner workflow to capture paper pages. Choose a color, black-and-white, or grayscale scan mode for the document, then continue with review and OCR as needed.
Choose Protect PDF when the document content needs more controlled use than an ordinary open PDF. Content protection is distinct from preventing the package file itself from being copied.
Open PDF Repair for separate Fix Corrupted PDF and PDF Recovery tools. Match the tool to a damaged file or a deleted document, and review the resulting pages.
We edit contracts and policy PDFs directly without recreating files, which saved our team a lot of document rework.
OCR works well for scanned invoices, and searchable output makes audit preparation much faster.
Merge and split tools are reliable for monthly reporting packs, especially when different teams submit separate PDFs.
Text and image editing features are practical for fast corrections before client delivery.
Password protection and controlled sharing options helped us standardize secure external distribution.
PDF repair rescued corrupted archives more than once, which prevented delays in our internal review cycle.
Make the changes you need, then save a separate finished copy for review or sharing.
Choose Edit PDF from Home, then use Open to load the file. Navigate to the required page and zoom in on the content you want to update.
Use the editing tools for supported text and images, enter values in interactive form fields, or add comments and markup for the review.
Save the edited document. Use a separate merge, split, compression, conversion, or password task when the final copy needs further preparation.
Review fonts, spacing, images, form values, annotations, and page order in the saved file. Keep the original until the finished copy has been checked.
Inspect the real GiliSoft PDF Editor home, direct editing, searchable text-layer PDF, conversion, page organization, and encryption screens.
Choose New PDF, Edit PDF, compression, merge, split, password tools, Scanner, or TextLayer PDF from the home task launcher.
Use editing tools when wording or an image must change. Use comments and markup when the original content should stay in place with feedback attached.
Use TextLayer PDF for searchable words over the scanned page image. Use the matching conversion task when a working copy is needed in Word, Excel, or another format.
Use New PDF for document creation, File to PDF for existing Office files or images, and Scanner for paper records. Each starts a different creation workflow.
Fix Corrupted PDF and PDF Recovery address different problems. Work on a copy of a damaged file, and check the recovered pages rather than assuming conversion will repair file damage.
Correct reports and policy documents, complete forms, combine attachments, and prepare smaller PDFs for email and approval workflows.
Make scanned invoices searchable, annotate supporting records, merge reporting packs, and apply password protection to a sharing copy.
Update handouts, add comments to learning materials, scan paper notes, and prepare selected documents for reading, printing, or further editing.
Revise proposals, fill client forms, collect review comments, and organize finished documents into clear presentation and delivery files.
GiliSoft PDF Editor offers a free trial, with paid licenses available for the full product. Use the trial to evaluate your documents and the tools you need. Check the installed build's trial and activation screens for its limits before choosing a license.
Yes. Open Edit PDF, load the document, and use the editing tools to select and change supported text or image objects. Save a new copy and review fonts, line breaks, spacing, and image placement. If a page is only a scanned image, use the OCR workflow rather than assuming its visible words are already editable text.
Yes. The editor supports interactive form fields and provides comments, text notes, shapes, and stamps for document review. Fill the existing fields, add the required notes, and save a copy. Reopen it to confirm that the entered values and annotations are visible before sharing.
Open TextLayer PDF, add the image-based or scanned PDF, choose the output directory, and run the task. The text layer makes recognized words searchable while retaining the page image. Searchability does not guarantee that the original page becomes a fully editable Word-style layout; proofread recognized names, dates, and numbers against the scan.
PDF to File provides Word DOC or DOCX, Excel XLS or XLSX, PowerPoint PPT or PPTX, image, TXT, HTML, and supported eBook outputs. File to PDF provides routes for Office documents, WPS files, images, and eBooks. Choose the appropriate task and review the resulting layout in the destination application.
Yes. Merge PDF lets you arrange the source file order, choose an output file name, and use Unify page width when needed. Split PDF provides a Split Type setting with a Modify control; review the split settings before processing. Check the resulting page order and page counts before distributing the files.
Open Compress PDF, add the document, choose a compression preset, and set the output directory. The file list shows an estimated size for the selected settings. Save a new copy, check its actual file size, and inspect small text and images; the reduction depends on the source document and chosen preset.
Encrypt PDF adds password-based access to a document. Decrypt PDF handles supported existing protection; it is not a guarantee of recovering an unknown password. Protect PDF is a separate content-protection workflow for controlling use of a delivery copy. Protecting the document content does not mean that the protected package file itself cannot be copied.
