/ A complete Mac editor

Edit PDF content without converting it first

Preview is excellent for reading, markup and basic form work. When you need to change existing content or run document operations, RevPDF keeps the workflow on your Mac and inside one app.

Edit and compare

Update text with paragraph reflow, replace artwork and compare two PDF versions during review.

OCR scanned documents

Make scanned pages searchable and selectable using on-device OCR processing.

Redact and sign locally

Handle contracts and sensitive records without uploading the document to a browser service.

Automate and convert

Use Flows for repeat processing, then export to Excel or Word or create a PDF/A-2a copy.
