Public beta · macOS 11+ · Windows 10+
PDFluent reads, edits, redacts, and signs PDFs entirely on your machine. No account, no cloud, no telemetry. Built in pure Rust, so the whole class of memory-safety bugs that plagues older PDF software is gone by construction.
Free for everyone, including at work. No credit card to download.
Open 500-page scans and print-ready artwork without the beachball. Rendering is native Rust, so large documents stay responsive.
Click a line and rewrite it. Fix a typo in a contract or update a figure without exporting to another tool and back.
Black bars that actually remove the text underneath, not just cover it. The words are gone from the file, which is what GDPR and discovery reviewers check for.
Apply PAdES digital signatures that make tampering detectable. Any change to the document after signing breaks the signature.
Most PDF tools now route your files through their servers. PDFluent does not. Contracts, medical records, tax filings — they stay on disk, where you put them.
Around 70% of severe security bugs in software written in C and C++ come from memory-safety mistakes, according to Microsoft and Google. PDFluent has no C or C++ and no third-party PDF engine, so that entire category of bug is designed out rather than patched over.

This is a public beta, and we would rather tell you the rough edges than hide them.
Yes, for everyone, including commercial use, with no time limit and no account. There is no seat count, no subscription, and no locked features.
No. Every operation runs on your machine. The editor makes no network calls to process a document, has no cloud sync, and collects no telemetry. It works fully offline.
macOS 11 and later (Intel and Apple Silicon, one universal build) and Windows 10 and later. The macOS build is signed with a Developer ID and notarised by Apple, so it opens without a security workaround.
It is a public beta. XFA form rendering is experimental and improves with each release, and there is no OCR inside the editor yet. If a form does not look right, it likely will after an update.
Free for everyone, including at work. No account, nothing uploaded. macOS and Windows.
