PDF Expert

PDF Expert by Readdle is the premier choice for Apple ecosystem users who demand a more powerful and fluid experience than Apple Preview but don't require the full complexity of Acrobat Pro. Renowned for its blazing speed and buttery-smooth, intuitive interface, it feels like a native Apple application. It excels at editing text and images directly within a PDF, filling forms, and managing extensive annotations—all with exceptional performance. Its seamless sync via iCloud or other cloud services between Mac, iPad, and iPhone makes it a favorite for mobile professionals.

The recent shift to a subscription model for advanced features (like OCR and form creation) was controversial, but its core editing and review experience remains top-tier. It is designed for users who prioritize a delightful, efficient workflow for reading, editing, and reviewing documents across their Apple devices.
