Redact, rework or sign PDFs effortlessly with this Mac app

Believe it or not, PDF files have been the go-to format for contracts and forms of any type since 1993. And sure, they're easily shareable – but that's about it. When you need to edit or sign a document – and you will – that's when frustration can set in. Luckily, there are workarounds, and PDF Expert for Mac is one of the best out there.

This all-in-one piece of software hacks through all the stubborn aspects of any PDF, allowing you to edit any text, images or links in the document – and that's just for starters. It also allows you to easily fill out forms, redact sensitive pieces of info or annotate portions of a file. You can even merge multiple pages into a single file, then password-protect them or share them remotely across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. If you get even a couple of documents per year, it can save a ton of headaches.

Lifetime access to PDF Expert for Mac is available now for $54.99, more than 30% off the list price.
