What is PDForge?

PDForge is a native desktop PDF editor for Windows and macOS designed to help users edit, annotate, sign, organize, and protect PDF documents while keeping files on their own device.

Built with a local-first approach, PDForge performs document editing, page management, and signing locally without requiring documents to be uploaded to external servers. Most editing features work completely offline, with an internet connection only required for license activation and software updates.

PDForge is designed with a privacy-focused workflow. Documents are processed locally on your computer during editing and are not uploaded to external servers as part of the editing process.
