Try PDF Gear, It's Good, It's Free

When it comes to PDF software, people have very different needs. Some casual users may want nothing more than the ability to make a few notes and occasionally combine documents, while those working in legal offices are very, very particular about how their PDFs look on screen and when printed, with details like fonts, bolding and italics being very important. The corporate king of PDF editors is Adobe Acrobat Professional but it has a number of drawbacks. It's expensive, huge and like all adobe products invasive and hard to get rid of. I am not a fan.

I am very much a fan of PDF Gear, available for free on the App Store. It's worth a look for anyone at any level who needs document conversion, merging, separation or merging. If you can overcome dependance on the bloated expensive monstrosity from Adobe, you might end up very pleased.

PDF Gear offers a plethora of features for the average and power user:

• View and Print
• Annotate
• Stamp
• Signature
• Bookmark
• Converter
• Page Editor
• Compress 
• Form Fill
• OCR

It has numerous AI features allowing you to describe what you want to do in natural language and to ask questions about your document. Because it's free, some have concerns about its privacy policy, however the only thing it does is collect usage data not connected to your identity. The developers have stated that they may charge for the use of certain features in the future, but they've been saying that for a while and so far have not acted on it.
