Content Editors: Here’s Why You Should Use PDFpen

“There’s a typo on page 6,” your coworker writes on Slack. “Thanks for catching that!” you type, adding an 🙈 emoji. Great
, you think. Now I’ll have to send this to the designer again
.

We know how you feel. It’s super frustrating to notice a minor type such as a misspelled word or a wrongly placed comma in an article or ebook and not be able to fix it.

But there’s a solution. With a professional PDF editor, you can edit PDF documents easily and quickly. There are a few great PDF editors out there, from basic to super advanced.  Here’s why you should consider choosing PDFpen.

Unless you work with complex PDFs with 3D images or need advanced preflight capabilities, there’s no reason to pay for ultra-advanced PDF editing features you’ll never use. PDFpen can meet all your proofreading, revising, and editing needs at a price you can afford.

PDFpen is a standalone product, not a subscription-based program. You make a one-time investment, rather than pay a monthly or annual fee, for a perpetual license.

With PDFpen, there’s no need for printing, signing, then scanning non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and contracts.

Tired of copying and pasting text from webpages, then writing out what needs to be changed?

With PDFpen, you can communicate edit requirements efficiently by combining screenshots of digital content into a PDF, then using markup and drawing tools to point out what needs to change. Scribble and strike through the original text, add text boxes and arrows. This is one of the simplest, quickest ways content editors can capture and highlight errors.

You can also turn a webpage, and even an entire website, into a PDF you can edit and annotate with PDFpen’s New from HTML feature.

Content editors, writers, and proofreaders might also find these features useful:

• OCR scanned files  
• Create a table of contents 
• Combine, extract, remove, and rearrange pages
• Save to Evernote
• Export to Word 
• Request a signature via DocuSign from PDFpenPro

When it comes to PDF editors, PDFpen is the best option for content creators, content editors, proofreaders, screenwriters, and script readers. 

More advanced than Preview for Mac, PDFpen is a user-friendly, affordable alternative to Adobe Acrobat—and the only PDF editor with built-in proofreading marks.
