Ashampoo PDF Pro 2
Ashampoo PDF Pro 2 is a comprehensive software application for managing, editing, and converting PDF documents on Windows. Its main goal is to make modifying a PDF as simple and fluid as using a standard word processor (like Microsoft Word), providing a powerful suite of tools without the high cost of subscription services like Adobe Acrobat.
Here are its key features at a glance:
-
Word Processor-Style Editing: Allows you to insert, correct, format, and delete text directly within the PDF pages. It includes a built-in spell checker and automatic hyphenation to ensure professional layouts.
-
Flexible Conversion: Converts PDF files into fully editable formats like Microsoft Word, RTF, HTML, and EPUB, or exports them as image files (JPEG). It also includes a virtual printer driver to create PDFs from any Windows application with a print function.
-
Advanced OCR Engine: Integrates an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine that scans digitized paper documents or images and instantly transforms them into fully editable and searchable digital text.
-
Interactive Form Creation: Allows you to fill out existing forms or design your own interactive PDF forms from scratch, adding text fields, checkboxes, and drop-down selection menus.
-
Side-by-Side Comparison: Introduces a split-screen view to quickly compare two different PDF documents, keeping page scrolling perfectly synchronized.
-
Page Organization: Offers quick tools to merge multiple PDFs via drag-and-drop, split large files into smaller ones, crop, rotate, delete pages, or apply Bates numbering for legal and administrative workflows.
-
Security & Redaction: Protects sensitive data using secure 128-bit AES encryption to restrict opening, printing, or copying text. It also features a permanent redaction tool to completely black out private information.
-
Global Find and Replace: Lets you search and replace words, phrases, or even specific fonts and colors across an entire document in seconds.
