PDF Expert Premium Plan
Adobe Acrobat is expensive — this PDF editor does the same job for less Credit: Readdle Limited

TL;DR: This week only, Mac users can save $42 on a PDF Expert Premium Plan lifetime subscription.


There’s nothing wrong with Adobe Acrobat…until you realize you’re paying for it constantly when you really only edit a couple of PDFs each month. If you want a program you can own with a one-time payment, check out this Adobe Acrobat alternative. The features are nearly identical, except it’s $97.99 for life (reg. $139.99) — even if you upgrade your Mac.
