jPDF Tweak Portable

jPDF Tweak Portable is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help users edit PDFs using a wide range of functions, such as splitting, rotating, applying watermarks, and signing documents.

This is the portable version of the program, so it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you to need to manage PDF files on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

Since this is a Java-based utility, you should make sure you have previously installed the working environment on the computer, otherwise you cannot run the tool.

jPDF Tweak Portable sports a straightforward layout that allows you to carry out batch processing operations, which means you can add multiple PDFs and process them at the same time.

The tool lets you crop, resize, or rotate pages, embed watermarks by making the first PDF page as background watermark, inserting text messages (which can be tweaked in terms of font size, color, and opacity), and adding page numbers.

What’s more, you are allowed to rearrange pages, change page numbers, edit chapter bookmarks, insert attachments, add page transitions (e.g. Diagonal Glitter, Right-Left Wipe), and change the document information (e.g. title, subject, keywords, author).

One of the best features bundled in this utility enables you to encrypt PDF files by setting up passwords. You can set up permissions related to printing, filling in, modifying content and annotations, and copying operations.

Last but not least, you are offered the possibility to sign PDFs, specify the saving directory and filename, as well as export the edited documents to PDF, JPG, PNG, GIF, PAM, PNM, BMP, or TIFF file format.

All things considered, jPDF Tweak Portable provides a decent feature pack for helping you manage PDF files but it still needs some improvements in the GUI area to make the entire process more intuitive.
