Our eye was drawn to the OCR capability, which works well.

Sejda is a PDF editor that allows you to save time as it processes the files for you in a simple, fast and above all safe way. In our challenging ancient NME test, it gave us searchable, copyable text. There are two versions: the web version in which the servers proceed to process the files and permanently delete them at the end of the process, and the desktop version that works offline and allows files to never leave your computer. Granted, it needed formatting when pasted into a Word doc, but that’s to be expected. The file-compress function is similarly smooth. Depending on the size of the document, you’re presented with a screen indicating that “Your task is processing” for anywhere from a couple of seconds to a few minutes. In the latter scenario, Sejda compressed an image-heavy PDF of a magazine cover from 2.92MB to 411KB with no discernable impact on readability. Sejda didn’t conduct image-heavy editing as successfully as PDFelement, with text on our test file popping out of alignment or changing colour when clicked, but those slight deficiencies are balanced out by practical, everyday tools such as digital signatures, “whiteout” (Tipp-Ex to us Brits), easy annotations, form creation and text replacement.Īs well as the usual conversion to Word, TXT, JPG and Excel files, Sejda has a few more tricks up its sleeve: quickly turning a PDF greyscale will be a boon to users looking to save ink, while the ability to “flatten” a document à la Photoshop will seal in any edits. ![]() ![]() You can even use the software to repair a damaged or corrupted PDF, which may not be a common occurrence but is a neat fail-safe.Īll of this makes Sejda an attractive proposition for individuals and small businesses.Īnd there’s plenty to please small businesses here, with support for Bates numbering, watermarks, PDF unlocking and password protection. ![]() PDFelement is still the better upfront purchase, but keep in mind that Sejda’s rolling annual subscription ($63) provides access to the web-based PDF editor, which could be a clincher for users on Chromebooks or tablets.
