🚀 How to use the program

Once the program opens, you see a clean main menu. Follow these steps for common tasks:

Opening a file

Click the File menu in the top left corner and select Open. Navigate to your document and click Open to load it. Your document appears in the middle of the window.

Editing text

Select the Edit tool from the top toolbar. Click anywhere inside the document to begin typing. You can change font sizes and styles using the options in the sidebar. The program saves changes to a temporary file while you work.

Using OCR

If you have a scanned document, the text might not be selectable. Click the OCR button in the main menu. The program scans the image and extracts the text. This allows you to copy and edit words from a scan.

Batch processing

If you have many PDFs to process, select the Batch Processing tool. Add your files to the list and choose your desired action, such as formatting or conversion. Click Process to start the task. The program places the new files in a folder you choose.

🔒 Security features

You can keep your documents safe using the encryption tools. Select File and then Security to set a password. Users need this password to open, print, or edit your document. Always store important passwords in a safe location because the software cannot recover forgotten codes.

🧠 AI assistance

The software includes AI tools to help with file management. Enable the AI sidebar to let the program suggest file names based on the content of your documents. This helps you sort files into folders without manual renaming.

⚙️ Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, check these common fixes:

  • Program does not start: Restart your computer and try opening the program again.
  • Slow performance: Close other large programs while you use the PDF editor.
  • Scanning errors: Ensure your document lies flat on the scanner bed. Clean the scanner glass if the OCR output contains many errors.
  • Update issues: Check the main page periodically for newer versions. Older versions may lack security fixes or new features.
