A compact toolbar with just the essentials, so anyone can view and edit right away. Convert PDFs to Word and PowerPoint with our in-house engine, recognize scanned text with the high-accuracy OCR pack, and protect files with passwords and signatures — conversion, editing and OCR all happen on your own PC, and your documents are never uploaded to a server.
