PDFelement 6
PDFelement 6 is a PDF editor from Wondershare that lets users edit text, images and forms directly within PDF files, annotate documents, encrypt PDFs with password protection, convert PDFs to and from other formats (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, image files, EPUB), perform optical character recognition (OCR) on scanned documents, and batch-process multiple files. It targets knowledge workers, students and professionals who need to modify or repurpose PDF documents without reverting to the original source files. The app includes a tile-based interface and tools for redaction, watermarking, form creation, and metadata editing.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionPDFelement 6 is a legacy release from 2016 and Wondershare has not maintained it with native Apple Silicon support. The vendor has moved on to PDFelement 7 and later versions, which support modern macOS and offer more recent features. If you are relying on PDFelement 6, the Intel build continues to run under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so this version will stop launching entirely on that release. Your best path forward is to upgrade to a current version of PDFelement — visit pdf.wondershare.com to check the latest edition and review whether the upgrade cost and any feature changes are acceptable. If you need a free or lower-cost alternative that runs natively on Apple Silicon, consider Preview (built into every Mac, with basic annotation and editing), or seek out other actively maintained native PDF editors like PDFTk, Coherence X, or Skim for specialist use cases. Contact Wondershare support directly if you have questions about upgrading from version 6.
