PDFpenPro is professional-grade PDF editing software designed for macOS users who need to create, edit, and annotate PDF documents with advanced features. The app allows users to add text, images, signatures, and annotations to PDFs; fill and flatten forms; merge or split documents; and apply security settings like passwords and redaction. It's widely used by professionals, students, and business users who work with PDF documents regularly and need more power than basic PDF readers or viewers offer. PDFpenPro is particularly popular for form filling, document organization, and collaborative PDF workflows.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionPDFpenPro has been discontinued by Smile Software. The app is no longer actively maintained or updated, and the developer has not released a native Apple Silicon version. According to Homebrew records, version 12.2.3 is marked as discontinued. You should transition to a native alternative for long-term compatibility. Recommended alternatives include Preview (built into macOS with solid PDF editing capabilities), PDF Expert (native Apple Silicon support with professional editing features), or Coherence X Pro (if you need advanced annotation and form-filling). For heavy PDF workflows, consider Nitro Pro or Adobe Acrobat Pro 2025, both of which offer native Apple Silicon versions and cloud integration.
