Four things, done well.

The handful of PDF tasks most people actually need — nothing you have to learn, nothing you have to pay monthly for.

T

Add text anywhere

Click on any PDF and start typing — even over existing content. Text stays searchable and vector, never rasterized.

ξ

Sign documents

Draw, type, or upload your signature. Place it, resize it, done. Saved for reuse across documents.

Merge & split pages

Combine multiple PDFs or extract any page range into a new file. No limits, no watermarks.

Fill forms

Auto-detects existing form fields. Text inputs, checkboxes, dropdowns — just click and fill.

Why AddToPDF?

Editing a PDF on a Mac usually means a compromise. Here's where AddToPDF fits.

vs. Preview

Preview is great for viewing, but it can't reliably add text to a flat PDF or fill interactive form fields. AddToPDF does both — and keeps your text as real, searchable text.

vs. Adobe & PDF Expert

The big editors want a monthly subscription for features you rarely touch. AddToPDF is a one-time $2.99 purchase focused on the essentials — no account, no recurring bill.

vs. free web tools

Free online PDF editors upload your documents to someone else's server. AddToPDF runs entirely on your Mac — nothing is uploaded, ever.

Everything else it does.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you might want to know before you download AddToPDF.

What is AddToPDF?

AddToPDF is a simple, native PDF editor for Mac. It lets you add text to any PDF, sign documents, fill out forms, and merge or split pages. Everything runs on your device — there is no cloud, no account, and no subscription.

How much does AddToPDF cost?

AddToPDF is a one-time purchase of $2.99 on the Mac App Store. There is no subscription, no monthly fee, and no "Pro" upgrade — you buy it once and own it.

Is AddToPDF a subscription?

No. AddToPDF is a single one-time purchase. There are no recurring charges of any kind.

Is AddToPDF private? Does it work offline?

Yes. AddToPDF works fully offline and makes no network requests at all. Your files never leave your Mac — there is no cloud upload, no account, and no telemetry.

Can I add text to a PDF that isn't a form?

Yes. Click anywhere on any PDF and start typing — even over existing content. The text is saved as sharp, searchable vector text, not a flattened image.

Can I sign a PDF with AddToPDF?

Yes. Draw, type, or upload your signature, then place and resize it anywhere on the document. Signatures are saved for reuse.

Can I fill out PDF forms?

Yes. AddToPDF automatically detects existing form fields — text inputs, checkboxes, and dropdowns — so you can just click and fill.

Can I merge or split PDFs?

Yes. Combine multiple PDFs into one, or extract any page range into a new file. There are no page limits and no watermarks.

Can AddToPDF edit the existing text in a PDF?

AddToPDF adds new text, signatures, shapes, and images on top of a PDF — it does not reflow or rewrite the original body text (that's why it's called AddToPDF). For adding, signing, filling, and covering content, it works anywhere on the page.

How is AddToPDF different from Preview?

Apple's Preview can't reliably add text to a flat (non-form) PDF or fill interactive form fields. AddToPDF does both, keeps text as real vector text, and adds form detection, shapes, and clean merge/split — while staying just as simple.

How is AddToPDF different from Adobe Acrobat or PDF Expert?

Adobe Acrobat and PDF Expert are subscriptions. AddToPDF is a one-time $2.99 purchase with no account and no cloud. It focuses on the handful of tasks most people actually need instead of a heavy feature set.

What macOS versions does AddToPDF support?

AddToPDF requires macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later and runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

Is there an iPhone or iPad version?

An iPhone and iPad version is in progress. It will be a Universal Purchase, so anyone who buys the Mac app gets the iOS version at no extra cost.

Where are my files saved?

Wherever you choose. AddToPDF uses your Mac's standard Save dialog and never uploads or syncs your files to any server.

Does AddToPDF do OCR on scanned PDFs?

Not yet. AddToPDF does not perform OCR (text recognition on scanned images). You can still add text, sign, and annotate scanned PDFs.

Can I get a refund?

Yes — Mac App Store purchases are covered by Apple's standard refund policy, which acts as a built-in try-it-risk-free safety net. Still stuck? Contact support.
