PDF Architect is truly a unique approach to the standard model of PDF software currently available. Since you have the option of only getting what you want with PDF Architect, you could luck out if you only need to go deep on one aspect of PDF management. It handles complex document manipulations easily. The specialized modules the application is built on are quite powerful in themselves, especially the editing module. The program is easy-to-use and fast, and there is plenty of helpful material on its website and within the user community to help you learn to use it and solve any issues you might encounter. It features annotation and redaction tools, version tracking and secure e-signing functionalities that all work well. Batch conversion is also relatively fast and easy in this respect.Ĭollaboration is also made easy with PDF Architect. Note that the pre-made packages offer significant savings over choosing individual modules.Ĭonverting performance is decent with PDF Architect – it accurately converts to and from MS Office formats with ease. Since it’s built from individual modules, you can either pick and choose only the ones you want (Edit, Convert, and Forms for example) or go with pre-made packages. PDF Architect provides a wide range of PDF document functionalities such as viewing, rotating and merging documents, batch conversion, secure electronic signing and OCR. Its OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is only available with its highest level (Pro) package and it doesn’t support as many languages as other applications do (8 in this case). In this way, PDF Architect really stands out from the competition, but overall it appears to have certain limitations that others don’t.

From there, you can elect to buy individual modules, for editing, converting and creating documents, or go with different packages such as Standard and Pro.

Depending on your needs, you can choose to only download certain modules, making PDF architect a highly cost-effective proposition for your PDF needs.Īlthough it’s quite limited, the free version allows you to read PDF files.

Its customizability lies with the fact that the application can be purchased as a series of modules, each with its own range of functionalities. It is advertised as “the only customizable PDF editor” and as such it’s a relatively unique product.

PDF Architect is a PDF application made by pdfforge.
