Get from App Store
Over the years, Adobe Acrobat has become one of the most popular PDF tools for personal and office use. It has been used to perform everything from basic viewing and printing tasks on PDF files to advanced editing and PDF modification. However, Adobe Acrobat has also become more complicated for basic use and rather expensive, which has led users to seek alternatives.
Good alternatives for premium PDF tools such as Adobe Acrobat should offer practicability and simplicity at a cheaper price. When looking for alternatives, you should also ensure they support your Mac operating system, not forgetting the upcoming Mac operating system, macOS Sierra. Now let's review the best Adobe Acrobat for macOS Sierra alternative.
Unlike most other options in its class, Wondershare PDFelement goes above and beyond in terms of cross-platform compatibility. It also features a large pool of features apart from basic editing, which makes it a perfect replacement for all your PDF editing tools. This not only helps you save space on your Mac but also enables you to save time and money from buying and switching between multiple apps on your computer.
Wondershare PDFelement helps you accomplish many editing tasks on multiple platforms. You can edit your documents by adding highlights, strikeouts, notes, text boxes, stamps, and a list of other useful annotations. You can also secure your documents from unauthorized access by adding redactions, passwords and restricting editing functions such as printing and copying by adding permissions. It also enables you to create and fill out forms that would normally require you to print, fill, and scan them back into digital format.
Editing documents on the new macOS Sierra is easy with PDFelement for Mac. You get the same features you would get on premium editions of Adobe Acrobat but in a more intuitive and user-friendly environment. Once the download is complete, install PDFelement on your computer. The installation wizard makes this process fairly easy so nothing to worry about there. Launch the program when done and follow these steps to edit your document(s).
PDFelement usually starts with a simple user interface that will allow you to edit, convert, create, or combine PDF files at the click of a button. These options will usually be present on the first screen. To upload your document, click "Open File" in this window, search for and select the file from the Mac finder window. Click "Open" when the file is selected to import it.
With the file imported, all the editing options become activated. If your file is scanned, you will be prompted to activate the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature to help you edit text and images on the document. Otherwise, select the "Edit" button on the menu bar and click on the text you want to edit. PDFelement matches the font formatting on your document when inserting text but you can still customize the text format to suit your needs.
Once you are done making changes to your document, you will need to save it to ensure you don't lose your edits. Click "File" at the top, select "Save As", give your document a different name from the source file, and click "Save".
