AlterPDF Pro

Since PDF is a very popular format, you often need to perform various operations involving PDF files. AlterPDF Pro is one of the utilities that can help you perform them.

The application is targeted at both PC novices and experts, so its GUI is intuitive and straightforward. First, you are expected to choose the source documents, or drag and drop them onto the main window - their contents are previewed in a dedicated window and you can rearrange them within the list.

Next, you need to select the required actions, make the necessary modifications, then save the files and you are done.

The operations supported by AlterPDF Pro are grouped in three categories: conversion, modification and security.

The first one allows you to convert PDF to images, images to PDF, Excel to PDF, PDF to Word or Word to PDF, while also getting the possibility to extract text or images from your PDF files.

When it comes to editing your documents, you can merge or split them, rotate one or several pages, crop, remove or extract pages. Overlaying a watermark is also possible, and you can specify not only its type (text or image), but also its position.

In terms of security, you can encrypt your source files by assigning owner and user passwords, or restricting permissions. You also get to adjust the metadata details (title, author, subject, creation or modification dates), sign the PDF file with a PFX file or protect your document from copying and extraction.

AlterPDF Pro can help you perform a wide range of actions without needing to leave its main window or launching third-party software. Most of these operations are customizable, so you can make sure the outcome will match your expectations.
