PDF editing
Add text boxes, replace existing text, move annotations, and undo edits.
Xpdf
Edit, merge, fill, and sign PDFs on Mac.
A native macOS PDF app for practical document edits: merge files, reorder pages, replace text, add signatures, export pages, and keep everything local.
Local document work.
Xpdf opens, edits, signs, and exports documents on your Mac. Files are not uploaded to HelloX.
What Xpdf includes
Page tools
Drag thumbnails to reorder pages, rotate pages, delete pages, and insert copied pages or images.
Merge order
Combine PDFs and images, including the open document, in the exact order you choose.
Fill and sign
Draw or type signatures, place them on the page, resize them, and save the signed PDF.
Better text matching
Replacement text uses tighter selection bounds, including CJK text, so whiteout stays on the intended line.
Export
Export pages as PNG or JPEG images, or save the document text as a plain text file.
Xpdf 1.5.4
Signed, notarized, and stapled Mac download for Apple Silicon Macs

Does Xpdf keep PDF processing local?
The current product is designed around local Mac document workflows rather than requiring cloud document processing.
