PDForge

Offline desktop PDF editor with true redaction, no subscription

About PDForge

PDForge is a native desktop PDF editor for Windows and Linux that edits, signs and reorganizes PDFs entirely offline. Its redaction removes the underlying text from the file rather than painting over it, and licensing is a one-time payment instead of a subscription.
