What it does
Perfect PDF creates PDFs from office documents, images and web content and provides content editing, page assembly, forms and signatures. It offers free Reader OCR plus paid editions or selected functions.
Use the free Reader for viewing and OCR, then choose the paid functions needed for creation, content editing, forms or page assembly. Image compression and colour-space controls can reduce or adapt an existing PDF. Check the selected feature list rather than assuming every edition includes the whole toolkit. The 14-day Premium trial marks processed documents, and buying later does not remove those marks. Windows activation needs internet or email; remote-desktop use has separate licensing. Automatic updates require a linked customer account.
Strengths
- Offers both bundled editions and selectable feature licensing.
Watch out for
- Trial marks remain on processed documents after purchase; features and remote-desktop rights depend on the selected licence.
Best for
- Desktop users selecting a specific set of PDF functions
