Replace Acrobat with this PDF editor that has no monthly fee, just $30 through October 11

TL;DR: PDF Agile edits, converts, and signs PDFs, and a lifetime subscription is on sale for $29.97 (reg. $119) through October 11.

Most PDF editors charge a monthly subscription, even if you only use them a few times a year. PDF Agile Premium is an all-in-one PDF editor, converter, and viewer for Windows and Mac that doesn’t require a monthly fee. Instead, you can get a lifetime subscription on sale for just $29.97 (reg. $119).

PDF Agile works a lot like Adobe Acrobat. You can edit text inside a PDF directly, scanned pages included, without hunting down the original file. Conversions go both ways between PDF and Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, and your fonts and formatting stay intact. For scanned receipts and screenshots, OCR pulls the text out so you can search, copy, or edit it.

Sharing sensitive files gets easier, too. You can lock a PDF behind a password, permanently redact text and images, and collect electronic signatures in three different ways. When a contract comes back with changes, a compare tool puts both versions side by side and highlights every difference. Compress, merge, split, and drag-and-drop page reordering are all included for everyday cleanup.
