PDF Toolbox

With time, almost everything around us became digitized, including our work environment. We do most of our job in from of a computer, and everyday we create and manipulate a large number of documents, some of them being PDF files. There are numerous programs that help you make and edit PDFs but how many of them live up to the task.

PDF Toolbox is one of those simple yet sophisticated tools designed to offer an easy way of creating, editing and managing various PDF documents, along with encryption and watermark functions. It's wrapped in an accessible and approachable interface that consists of two toolbars, each providing different features, and a file viewer. In order for the app to run properly, Abode Reader needs to be installed on the computer.

To start, all you have to do is open a PDF item by browsing its location on the computer. Once loaded you can zoom in and out to view details, insert multiple pages from another document or blank sheets. Plus, they can be moved up and down to arrange them with ease, rotate and extract them.

The app integrates the "click-to-convert" function to generate standard PDF records from any file, image or webpage. PDF Toolbox gives you the option to add, edit, delete or modify new and existing bookmarks. From the menu, PDF metadata may be filled in, like the author, title, subject and keywords.

What's more, you can insert date and time or text to the header and footer of each sheet or just specific ones with customized font type, size, color and alignment. Plus, the program lets you enter other PDF documents as watermarks in front or behind existing pages and in vertical or horizontal position.

Another useful feature is the document security, to which you can apply password protection when opening or changing a file, manage allowed permissions (e.g. prevent print, modifications, copy, extraction, comment), and select encryption strength (40, 128 bit).

PDF Toolbox is an intuitive and straightforward tool that comes in handy when you want to quickly create PDFs using different document types, as well as edit and add watermarks and security protection to all your PDF files.
