Features
Every PDF tool you need, in one desktop app
A reliable, beautifully designed, intuitive and portable PDF utility that you can use to merge, split, protect, compress, convert your PDF files and more.

Privacy focused
As a desktop application, there is no need to upload your private PDF files to an unknown third-party remote server for processing. We also neither collect nor require your email address to use our application.
Protect PDF files
Add Owner and User passwords using 256-bit encryption. With an Owner password set, you can control whether users can:
- copy from the document
- print the document
- annotate the document
- modify the PDF attributes
- modify the PDF contents and more

Remove passwords from PDF files
All-About-PDF can remove User and Owner PDF passwords from any PDF file so that they are no longer required to view the document.
PDF expiry
Keep control of your intellectual property by specifying when your shared PDF documents expire. Create time-limited PDFs using our strong DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection.

PDF conversion
Batch convert your PDF files to several formats including Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, JPG image and HTML.
Image and text watermarks
Add a text or image watermark to every page of a PDF. Set the font size, color and placement of the watermark to fit your exact needs.

Fast PDF processing
All-About-PDF is a multi-threaded 64-bit application that uses your computer’s multiple CPU cores for blazingly speedy PDF processing.

Merge or split PDF files
Merge multiple PDF files into a single file, or go the other way and split one PDF into several documents.
Split by page ranges (for example pages 1–5 and 6–10) or simply every N pages.

Compress PDF files
Scanned PDFs are often large and hard to share. Shrink them by compressing images, reducing image quality and removing unused objects and streams.
All-About-PDF can reduce a scanned PDF document’s size by more than 7000%.

Edit attributes and delete pages
Delete pages from PDFs, and edit a PDF’s attributes such as Author, Title, Keywords, Producer and more.
You can also stop a PDF opening after a set date and show a message instead, ideal for quotes, invoices and purchase orders. A quote valid for 14 days can tell the reader it has expired on day 15.
