Add text to any PDF, sign a contract, fill out a form, merge or split pages — everything you actually need to do with a PDF, in one clean Mac app. No subscription, no cloud, no learning curve.
The handful of PDF tasks most people actually need — nothing you have to learn, nothing you have to pay monthly for.
Click on any PDF and start typing — even over existing content. Text stays searchable and vector, never rasterized.
Draw, type, or upload your signature. Place it, resize it, done. Saved for reuse across documents.
Combine multiple PDFs or extract any page range into a new file. No limits, no watermarks.
Auto-detects existing form fields. Text inputs, checkboxes, dropdowns — just click and fill.
Editing a PDF on a Mac usually means a compromise. Here's where AddToPDF fits.
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.
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.
Free online PDF editors upload your documents to someone else's server. AddToPDF runs entirely on your Mac — nothing is uploaded, ever.
Everything you might want to know before you download AddToPDF.

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.
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.
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.

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