What it is
A PDF editor that stays on your computer
EPDF is a free PDF editor for Windows made by EGORA Digital. It opens a PDF from your computer, lets you click a line of text and change it, add your own text and images, mark up pages, and reorder, rotate or delete pages. You save the result as a new PDF; the original file is left as it was.
It also reads scanned PDFs. Turkish, English and Portuguese OCR models are built into the app, so recognising a scanned page needs no internet, not even the first time. You can make a scan searchable, or change a line of a scan while the rest of the page stays exactly as scanned.
Unlike an online PDF editor, nothing is uploaded: your PDFs are opened and saved on your own computer. The app only goes online when you ask it to check GitHub for a newer version.

Good to know
What EPDF does not do yet
Windows only.
The current version is for 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. There is no Mac, Linux or phone version.
Text editing.
Direct editing does not yet work for text inside form XObjects, mirrored or skewed text, or vertical text. Long text does not reflow on its own: check overlaps in the preview.
Fonts.
A PDF's embedded font can't always be reused, so edited text is set in a matching font taken from Windows.
Protected PDFs.
Password-protected PDFs can't be opened yet.
Images.
The image tools work on images you add in EPDF. Replacing the original embedded images one by one is not supported.
OCR.
OCR is designed for printed text on light paper. There is no model for handwriting, and a sideways scan has to be rotated with Pages first. Low-confidence text is highlighted for you to review, not replaced automatically.
Languages.
The app interface is in Turkish and English. OCR covers Turkish, English and Portuguese.
Windows warning.
EPDF is a new independent app, so Windows may show a SmartScreen notice the first time you run it. Download it only from the GitHub release page linked here.
Questions
EPDF is one of the free tools made by EGORA Digital, a small web studio. If your business still sends PDFs where a clear web page would work better, menus, price lists, brochures, that's what we build.
