However, I did have some difficulty getting the tool to work hinting at the need to increase the ease of use. This is great for those dealing every day with sensitive documents that need to be published.įor example, if we as a cybersecurity magazine need to publish a leaked document when covering a news piece, we could redact sensitive portions like credentials. Securing DocumentsĬoming to the security side under the protect tab, we have the option to redact parts of the document either directly or by automating it using the “search and redact” option.
On the other hand, if you need help editing an un-editable PDF document, the software can help you now use Optical Character Recognition (OCR ) to extract text by scanning the PDF. This is pretty useful, for example, we all may optimize images when uploading them to websites in order to prevent the page from slow loading but PDFs are rarely dealt with in the same way bringing a good choice to the table. On the other hand, for compressing the document to reduce their space, 3 different options were available as shown below: Moving on, you could convert the existing pdf into other file formats as well including Excel, PowerPoint, images, plain text, a word document, an EPUB document, a rich text file, and even HTML. Then, after opening a document using the “open files” option, we have a toolbar that allows us to perform different functions including adding text and editing it using basic functions such as underlining, highlighting areas, adding annotations, adding headers and footers, adding images, adding watermarks and backgrounds, hyperlinking, cropping the document, creating shapes, and much more.Ī cool feature was the option to add stamps with pre-defined and custom designs as shown below with the “draft” and “review” stamp added: The user interface here comes across as refreshingly simple without being bloated by un-needed features and having a consistent color scheme. To start with, after downloading & installing it, we’re presented with a home screen in the software which presents us with different options as shown below: For this reason, we decided to try our hand at the tool to see how it competes with others. This latest release has been proven to have better performance than its predecessor with notable differences such as the software opening time being reduced from 4.5 to 1 second.
Various tools exist on the market for this particular reason out of which Wondershare’s PDFelement happens to be one coming up with their latest release for Windows. PDFelement is an all-in-one PDF solution allowing users to edit, convert, and optimise documents securely and without any hassle.Īt many times, we need to perform a range of operations on PDF documents such as editing and combining them.
