What is IndyPDF Editor & Converter?

The application processes documents on the device during editing, conversion, OCR, signing and protection tasks. That gives businesses a way to work on contracts, reports, invoices, forms and other internal files without moving each task into a separate browser-based tool.

IndyPDF also includes OCR for scanned documents, which can help turn image-based PDFs into searchable and editable files. For companies digitizing older records or working with signed forms, that can make archived documents easier to search, update and reuse.
