Is this a viable alternative to the Adobe PDF app on Windows? I'm looking for an alternative for our company to replace Adobe's bloatware.

Yes, it definitely is. It handles everything from the basics like editing, signing, and merging to more advanced stuff like OCR, redaction, and digital certificates all in a clean and lightweight interface.

The desktop app is only 58mb and uses effectively zero CPU, so it's about as far from bloatware as you can get.

Shoot me an email at [email protected] — happy to jump on a call and walk you through it before you get it for your company.

I've been using pdfgear to some success.
