Organize pages

Put every page in its place.

  • Insert blank pages, other PDFs, scans, web pages or the clipboard

Redact

Remove sensitive content for good.

Redaction deletes the text and image data underneath, not just covers it, so nothing can be copied or recovered afterwards.

  • Drag over anything, or search for words, dates and patterns
  • Redact whole pages, odd or even pages, or a range
  • Overlay text and FOIA or Privacy Act redaction codes
  • Remove hidden information: metadata, scripts, layers and more

Scan & OCR

Make scanned pages searchable.

Text recognition turns a scan into text you can search, select, copy and even edit, in many languages.

  • Scan straight from your scanner or document feeder
  • Straighten, clean up and auto-rotate scanned pages
  • Edit recognized text like any other text
  • Reduce file size with the PDF optimizer

Compare

See exactly what changed.

Put two versions side by side. Changed words, new text, formatting changes, comments and visual differences are listed and marked on both.

  • Jump to each difference from the list
  • Catches font and size changes, not just words
  • Save the comparison as a PDF report
Compare view with the old and new proposal side by side and a list of three changed values
Forms

Build forms people can fill in.

Add fields by hand or let PDF Studio detect them on a flat form, then set formats, calculations and validation.

  • Text fields, check boxes, radio buttons, drop-downs, list boxes, buttons and image fields
  • Barcodes (QR Code, PDF417, Data Matrix) that update as the form is filled
  • Signature fields, tab order and field actions
  • Send a form by email and collect the responses in a spreadsheet
Prepare Form mode with labelled form fields on the page and a Fields list

Write Word documents in the same app.

  • Styles, fonts, colors, bullets and numbered lists
  • Tables, pictures, page breaks, margins and orientation
  • Find and replace, undo and redo
  • Word opens what you save

How to edit a PDF

Four steps, whatever you're changing.

Open your file

Choose Open a file, or drop a PDF, Word document or other Office file onto the window.

Pick a tool

Choose Edit PDF, Highlight, Sign, Redact or any other tool from the toolbar.

Make your changes

Click and type, drag, or ask the assistant. Undo takes back any step.

Save or share

Choose Save, export to another format, or email the document from the File menu.

Made for documents that matter.

Private by default.

Your documents are opened and saved on your own computer. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you use a feature that says so, like asking the AI assistant a question.

Files that work everywhere.

PDF Studio is built from the PDF standard. What it saves opens correctly in Acrobat, Preview, Chrome and Firefox, and its PDF/A and PDF/UA output is checked with the veraPDF validator.

Professional tools included.

Print production, archiving standards, batch actions and automation are part of the same app, ready when your work needs them.

Questions? We have answers.

What is PDF Studio?

PDF Studio is a full PDF editor from MyCloudSuites. It views, edits, signs, comments on, organizes, protects, redacts and converts PDFs, and it includes Documents, an editor for Word files, in the same window.

Can I edit the text that's already in a PDF?

Yes. Choose Edit PDF, click a paragraph and type. PDF Studio sets your changes in the document's own font when it can, or in a font installed on your computer, and moves the text below so nothing overlaps.

Can I edit a scanned document?

Yes. Run Recognize Text (OCR) first. The scan becomes searchable, selectable text, and you can then edit it with Edit PDF like any other text.

Which file types can I convert?

You can turn PDFs into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Rich Text Format, HTML, XML, plain text, JPG, PNG, TIFF, PostScript and EPS. You can make PDFs from Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, images, web pages, your scanner and the clipboard. Office conversions use Microsoft Office or LibreOffice if one is installed on your computer.

Are my documents uploaded anywhere?

No. PDF Studio opens and saves files on your own computer. The only time a document leaves it is when you ask the AI assistant a question, and the assistant shows you which pages it will send before it sends them.

How does the AI assistant work?

Open the Claude panel and ask a question or request a change. It can answer with links to the pages it used, and every change it proposes waits for you to approve it. Use Claude with your own API key, or sign in with your ChatGPT plan.

Will my PDFs open in other apps?

Yes. PDF Studio is built from the PDF standard, ISO 32000-2, and the files it saves open correctly in Adobe Acrobat, Apple Preview, Chrome and Firefox.

Can I sign documents legally?

You can sign with a digital ID, using certificate-based signatures in the PAdES format, with timestamps and long-term validation. You can also use digital IDs on smart cards through the Windows certificate store. Whether a signature meets a particular legal requirement depends on where you are and what you're signing.

Which computers does it run on?

PDF Studio is a desktop app for Windows today. A version that runs in your browser is coming to mycloudsuites.com.
