Considering an Adobe Acrobat alternative?
If you are choosing a Windows app for everyday PDF work, explore what PDF Craft can do with your documents. Start with the Free reader, then try the Pro tools you need.
Start with the work you do most
For reading, searching, copying selectable text and printing, PDF Craft Free needs no account or subscription. It runs as a Windows desktop app, with PDF processing on your computer.
Explore the Pro tools
PDF Craft Pro includes text and image editing, highlights and drawing annotations, calibrated distance and area measurements, split and merge tools, page organisation and watermarks. Eligible accounts can try these tools for 14 days without automatically subscribing.
Try it with your own documents
Use the Free reader to check your everyday PDFs, and the Pro trial to evaluate the editing and measurement work you need. PDF Craft has its own feature set; this page does not claim feature-for-feature equivalence with Adobe Acrobat.
Getting started
- Download the Free reader and open a PDF you regularly work with.
- Explore reading, search and printing, then try Pro if you need its additional tools.
- Choose a Pro billing period only after checking that the app suits your work.
