What PDF Pro is
PDF Pro is a paid desktop PDF application for Windows and macOS. It combines text editing, annotation tools, OCR, PDF conversion, and form creation in one product. Users can change PDF text, add markup, recognize text through OCR, convert files, and build forms. The software offers a 15-day trial before purchase. Listed options are a Monthly Plan, Annual Plan, and Perpetual License, but no prices are published for any of them. PDF Pro is made by a company with the same name, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Its platform listing names Windows and macOS only, so the product is aimed at desktop users on those systems. The feature set centers on common PDF editing and document-creation tasks rather than a broader document suite. Buyers can choose among recurring or perpetual licensing formats after evaluating the trial.
