Buyer's guide

How to choose a pdf reader

When picking a PDF reader, consider whether you need to edit or convert the file content. If you only need to view and navigate documents, a tool that processes everything locally in your browser protects your privacy. If you need to extract text or convert the PDF into an editable format like Word, choose a browser-based converter that handles the transformation, even if it means accepting ads on the page.
