Every PDF tool, with no extra subscription

The forms, contracts and handbooks your procedures point to need changing every day. Sopycat edits, signs, fills in, redacts, merges and converts them on your own PC, so there is no Acrobat or Nitro seat to buy for each person.

Why PDFs are such a hassle

Every office changes PDFs every day, and every usual answer costs something: money, time, or the privacy of the file.

Another subscription, per person

Adobe Acrobat Pro for teams is $23.99 a person, every month. So it often goes to a few people, and everyone else emails them the PDFs to fix.

Free readers only let you look

The free PDF reader on every PC opens a file, but cannot change a word, move a page or make a real redaction.

Free websites take your files

The free online editors upload the contract, the medical form or the payslip to someone else's server to do the job.

A black box is not a redaction

Drawing a shape over a name hides it on screen, but the words stay in the file for anyone to copy out.

Mark up, sign and fill in

  • Highlight, underline, draw, and add boxes, arrows, callouts and sticky notes. They are real comments any PDF reader shows, with your name and the date.
  • Draw or type your signature once and place it with a click. Stamp Approved, Received or Paid; Received and Paid carry today's date.
  • Fill in a form's own boxes, or save your usual answers as a profile and fill the next form in one go.

  • Sign with a certificate, and check the signatures already in a file.

Redaction you can actually trust

A black box drawn over words hides them from the eye but leaves them in the file. Sopycat cuts them from the page, then checks its own work.

  1. Mark what must go

    Drag boxes over it, or find every email address, phone number, card number or word you name and redact them all at once.

  2. Sopycat removes and checks

    The words and picture data under each box are cut from the page. Then the page is read again. If anything survives, the page is turned into a picture and the box painted black.

  3. Nothing unchecked is saved

    If a page still cannot be cleared, nothing is saved and Sopycat tells you why. A log of what was removed stays beside the document.

Word, Excel and PowerPoint files open in Sopycat too, and you change them there: type on a Word page where the words stand, edit a slide live (type on it, then drag, resize or turn what is on it), type into a spreadsheet, crop a picture. Older formats such as .doc and .xls need the free Office pack, a one-time download from Settings.

One app for the procedures and the paperwork

The PDF editor comes with every plan, trial included. Cancel the second subscription.
