There’s finally a replacement for Adobe Acrobat, and it lasts for life

TL;DR: Replace your Acrobat PDF editor subscription with a SwifDoo perpetual license on sale for $29.97 (reg. $129).

Many of the most popular PDF apps switched to subscriptions, meaning you’re functionally paying to be able to use an extremely common file type. If you don’t want to pay every month for as long as you need to use PDFs, then replace your subscription to Acrobat with a perpetual license to SwifDoo.

This all-in-one PDF app can edit, annotate, rearrange, scan, and do a whole lot more to any PDF file, and you only pay for it once. It’s normally $129, but right now, a SwifDoo Perpetual License is on sale for $29.97.

How to use PDFs without a subscription

SwifDoo is a simple tool. It lets you work with PDFs about as easily as if they were Word docs. You can edit text, add annotations, convert between different file types, or just sign documents. SwifDoo also lets you encrypt PDFs, compress them for easier file transfers, and rearrange pages. The OCR can even recognize text on documents that you couldn’t edit before. So all those hard copies lacking an original can finally go digital again.

It’s only $29.97 to get a SwifDoo PDF Pro Perpetual Lifetime License for Windows, but it won’t stay that way.
