Wondershare PDFelement

editing PDF documents with PDFelement, where the Edit PDF page documents editing text with the same formatting, changing text size, font, colour and alignment, a built-in spelling check, adding, replacing, moving, rotating, flipping, cropping and opacity-changing images, adding watermarks, hyperlinks, page numbering and backgrounds, managing layers with visibility and import, and adding audio and video to PDFs; the scope is the documented text, image, page-decoration and layer editing, and two boundaries are kept: editing text inside a scanned page needs the separate OCR capability, and the unregistered trial only offers Create, View, Protect and Organize Pages, so editing is a paid or registered-trial capability, with no layout-reflow guarantee

converting PDF documents with PDFelement, where the Convert PDF page documents PDF to Word DOC, DOCX and RTF, Excel XLS and XLSX, PowerPoint PPT and PPTX, Text TXT and XML, HWP and HWPX, images JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP and GIF, PDF to editable, image-based or PDF/A, and PDF to HTML and EPUB, plus conversion to PDF from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, TXT, HTML, PUB, OFD, DWG, MPP and VSD files, with batch conversion and OCR-assisted scanning noted; the scope is the documented conversion directions, with no fidelity guarantee and no claim for formats not listed

merging and splitting PDF documents with PDFelement, where the Combine page documents merging multiple PDFs and combining images into one PDF, arranging and reordering the combined document, and the optional Organize step to reorder, delete or rotate pages, and the Split PDF how-to page documents splitting a PDF into individual pages; the page also notes that the combined document can then be compressed; the scope is the documented combine, reorder, delete, rotate and split operations, with no claim about preserving signatures, forms or annotations across a merge

protecting PDF documents with PDFelement, where the Password Protect page documents an open password to control viewing and a permission password to control editing and printing, three encryption levels of AES-128, AES-256 and 128-bit RC4, and permission settings that can allow low-quality printing, restrict editing while allowing signing or commenting, and block copying of text, images or other content; the same page and the Smart Redact page document marking content for redaction and applying it so that sensitive information is permanently removed and blacked out; the scope is the documented encryption, permission and redaction workflow, and the vendor's own eSign and certificate functions are left to the separate sign job, with no claim about how other readers enforce permissions beyond what the page states

compressing PDF documents with PDFelement, where the Compress PDF page documents one-click compression that reduces resolution at high, medium or low settings, manual adjustment of image DPI resolution to reduce file size, and batch compression of multiple PDFs; the page claims compression without losing quality, which is recorded as vendor marketing rather than a lossless guarantee, and no size-reduction percentage is claimed

signing PDF documents with PDFelement, where the Sign PDF page documents creating an electronic signature that is handwritten, typed or supplied as an image, adding it to a PDF, and auto-syncing signatures across the user's desktop and mobile devices, alongside certificate-based digital signatures that confirm author identity and document integrity and can appear as text or an image including a scanned handwritten signature on Windows and Mac, with batch digital signing using a digital certificate; the eSign page adds certificate-based legal signatures, sending documents to bulk signers and real-time signature tracking, marked as cloud-only; the scope separates the electronic signature from the certificate-based digital signature, keeps cloud sending as the platform-specific feature the page states, and makes no claim of a certificate authority, timestamping authority or independent legal certification

running optical character recognition with PDFelement, where the PDF OCR page says PDFelement turns scans and image PDFs into editable and searchable PDFs, preserves and reproduces document layout and formatting elements, states that it recognizes more than 20 languages, and documents choosing a page range and a language recognition option before applying OCR; the page's steps also mention converting scanned PDFs to editable text and deskewing, and the store comparison limits OCR results preview to the trial; the scope records the more-than-20-language statement as the vendor's claim, makes no accuracy figure claim, and does not claim handwriting-specific recognition
