Create Perfect PDF Files Faster & Easier

Lightning PDF Professional is the complete PDF alternative to Adobe® Acrobat® designed specifically for business users.

Create PDF Files

Create optimized PDF files from any Windows application or use the one-click creation tools integrated with Microsoft Office. Producing 100% industry-standard PDF files that can be viewed with any PDF viewer has never been easier.

Touch-up Text

Add, edit, and delete text directly on PDFs. With Lightning PDF, you don’t need the source files to fix typos, remove text, and reformat paragraphs.

Insert & Enhance Images

Need to add some images to your PDF files? Lightning PDF allows you to insert graphics directly into your PDF files. Or you can use the built-in image tools to resize, move, optimize and delete existing graphics.

Watermarks & Stamps

Apply your own watermarks and stamps to your documents. Ensure that recipients know information contained in your PDF is confidential, a draft, or for review.

Draw and Markup

Don’t deal with the hassle of marking up paper documents anymore. Use the pen, circle, box and other markup tools to comment directly on PDFs.

Sticky Notes that Stay

Ever use sticky notes to comment on a paper document, only to have them fall off by the time the recipient gets your edits? Now you can add digital sticky notes to PDFs, so your recipients will always get your comments.

Bookmarks & Hyperlinks

Create interactive PDF files with Lightning PDF. Jump to any page of your PDF with bookmarks, or open external web pages with PDF hyperlinks.

Secure PDFs

Have sensitive information that you don’t want falling into the wrong hands? Use passwords and digital certificates to ensure document integrity. You can even restrict PDF features such as copying, printing and editing.

Assemble & Combine PDFs

Combine multiple documents and document types into a single PDF for easy viewing. Create a single PDF file from Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, Excel Spreadsheets, other PDF files, graphics, images, and more.

A Rough Start

Pros:

I was able to convert several word files into one pdf document

Cons:

I have to re-install the program every time I try to open it from the start menu

I purchased the download version and I can't print any of the help info because of a script error I can "snip" the inof and print it - but I should be able to jsut print it

All support from the product comes from SoftCity - not Avanquest - another nuisance step Avanquest doesn't even post a return support e-mail address

Doesn't Clear Out Memory

Pros:

This product was so fun and easy to use until today! I was in love with it. it worked seamlessly. Just a joy. again, until today.

Cons:

all of a sudden the documents are saving in some astronomical size. When I delete images from the document, pdf, the size doesn't adjust. then what was normally saving as 838kb is now saving as 29,801kb!!! WTF! Talk about frustrated. I called 3 different people at the help desk and each time they told me that is how the software is supposed to work! WHAT?!!! it's like they have no idea how to fix anything and their job is to just tell you that whatever is wrong is your fault or you just don't understand.

Bottom Line:

Just Like acrobat but at a very nice price. Easy to use has all the features of more expensive options. It works very well for all the functions you would wish for.One of my favorite features is that you can convert pdf docs back to Word as well.
