PDF utility offers advanced features

Mac users who frequently deal with Adobe’s Portable Document Format (PDF) are likely to become frustrated if they can only read or preview the documents. The Mac software developer Cisdem has created a utility that lets users do much more than read a PDF  document.

PDFManagerUltimate includes several advanced editing features that let users merge, split and compress documents; add comments, annotations and sticky notes; rotate and highlight pages and elements; and extract text and images.

The program also incorporates OCR technology that will convert a scanned PDF into a variety of other file formats such as HTML, EPUB, PPT and files for Word, Excel or Keynote. You can also add a signature to a PDF file and encrypt the file with a password.

The program has a price tag of $69.99 and there’s a free trial version available to download at the Cisdem website.
