PDF-XChange Editor
By Tracker Software Products Ltd.
Category: pdf-tools
Pricing: one-time-purchase
Free plan: Available
Free-plan limits: Free version has roughly 70% of features unrestricted (per vendor) but lacks enhanced OCR, fillable-form creation/editing, document comparison, and JS-driven dynamic stamps, which require the paid perpetual license (from $62 for Editor, $79 for Editor Plus).
Best for: Windows power users who want a lightweight, perpetually-licensed editor with strong OCR and annotation tools and a genuinely usable free tier.
