Recorded in Pagewright · 0:23 · real time. No sound.
Two are recordings of the real Windows app; one is a hands-on preview with sample pages. Play, pause or jump to any step.
A notice says the beds are ready by the end of “Febuary” — misspelled, and before the build even starts. Watch the paragraph being corrected, rewrapped, saved and reopened.
The existing wording is replaced and the paragraph reflows. Both images are the same part of the page, at the same scale, from the original file and the saved copy.
Download the sample pair to check it in any PDF reader: original PDF · corrected copy saved by Pagewright
Fix a typo, swap a page, fill in a form, number a bundle of documents — in a desktop app, without uploading anything to a website.
Files are opened, edited and saved on your computer. The app has no analytics or telemetry, needs no account, and contacts our server only to activate or deactivate your licence key.
One payment of $19.99, and every future version is free. Nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel.
Editing, page organization, comments, forms, OCR and batch processing in one place, with one way of working.
Pagewright is a desktop app: your files are processed on your computer, and the app is built to keep it that way.
Documents are opened, edited and saved on your computer. Pagewright does not upload them.
The app contains no analytics, telemetry or crash reporting.
The editor’s document windows are blocked from the network, and the end-to-end tests check it.
Every save is read back by two independent PDF readers before it replaces anything, and unsaved edits are kept if the app closes unexpectedly.
See whether certificate-based signatures are intact, who signed, whether Windows trusts the certificate and whether the file changed after signing.
Activating sends your licence key, a one-way device ID, the computer’s name and the app version — never documents or file names.
Every feature listed here is in the app today and covered by automated tests. Where a feature has limits, we say so.
Change a paragraph and it rewraps at its original width, spacing and alignment — or replace a single line in place. Add text boxes and images where you need them.
Right-to-left and vertical text can't be edited yet, and images already in a PDF can't be replaced.
How text editing worksReorder, rotate, delete, insert and extract pages; merge files or split them; add page numbers, headers, watermarks and Bates numbers.
Highlight and mark up text, add notes, shapes, arrows and stamps, and keep track of replies. Comments are saved as standard PDF annotations that other readers show.
Fill text fields, check boxes and dropdowns, and place a visible signature you draw, type or import. A visible signature is a picture of your signature — not a certificate-based digital signature.
Creating new form fields isn't available yet.
Forms, visible and certificate signaturesRecognize text in scanned pages on your computer, then search and copy it. Turn images into PDFs, export pages as images or text, and compress files.
English recognition is included; add other languages from a Tesseract language file.
More about OCR and conversionApply watermarks, page numbers, Bates numbers, metadata cleanup or compression to a whole folder of PDFs, with a report — your originals are never changed.
Checkout is hosted by Stripe, which takes the payment securely. This website never sees your card details.
Straight after payment you get a private download page with the Windows installer and your licence key. We also email you both, and an optional account keeps them for later.
Run the installer — no administrator rights needed — and enter your licence key when Pagewright starts. Activation needs the internet once; from then on, Pagewright works without a connection. One PC at a time: move it with Help → Deactivate.
There is one edition of Pagewright and one price. You pay once, you get every feature, and every future version is free — no upgrade fees, no subscription.

No sales tax or VAT is added at checkout.
For Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) only. Not available for Mac or Linux.
Payment is taken by Stripe; the checkout page shows the final price before you pay. By buying you agree to the terms of sale and licence terms. Refund policy.
No. You pay US$19.99 once and every future version is free. Nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel.
Your purchase includes free lifetime updates: every future version of Pagewright PDF Editor, including major versions, at no extra cost — no upgrade fees and no subscription. "Lifetime" means for as long as Pagewright is developed and offered. If development ever ends, your licence key never expires and your installed version keeps working, even if this website or our payment provider goes offline. Your key isn't tied to a version: the same key activates every new version.
Windows 10 and Windows 11, 64-bit (x64). There is no version for macOS, Linux, ChromeOS or phones, and Windows on Arm has not been tested. See the system requirements.
Yes. Opening, editing, OCR and saving happen on your computer and don't need an internet connection, and Pagewright never uploads your documents. You need a connection to download the installer and once to activate your licence key (a PC without internet can be activated with a file from your account instead). After that, only a few optional features that you start yourself connect: downloading an extra OCR language, adding a time stamp to a certificate signature, and checking for updates (off by default).
Yes, with limits. Choose Edit Existing Content → Edit text and click a paragraph or a line. A paragraph rewraps at its original width, line spacing and alignment, and the old wording is removed from the file — not covered up. Right-to-left and vertical text, text drawn with Type 3 fonts and text inside repeated graphics can't be edited yet; Pagewright outlines them in grey and says why. Images already in a PDF can't be replaced yet. Read how text editing works.
Yes. OCR → Recognize text adds an invisible, searchable text layer to scanned pages, on your computer; the scan itself is not changed. English is included, and other languages can be added from a Tesseract language file. Results depend on scan quality: handwriting, tables and badly degraded scans may not be recognized reliably, and Pagewright lists the words it is unsure of. See the guide Make a scanned PDF searchable.
Yes. Free lifetime updates: every future version of Pagewright PDF Editor, including major versions, at no extra cost — no upgrade fees and no subscription. "Lifetime" means for as long as Pagewright is developed and offered; if development ever ends, your licence key never expires and your installed version keeps working. Pagewright never updates itself: download the new installer from your account (or a new download link) and run it over the old version; your settings and activation are kept. Your installed version keeps working whether or not you update.
After payment you get a private download page with the installer and your licence key, and we email you both. For security the download link expires after 7 days: request a new link with the email address you used at checkout, or sign in to your account to download again. To reinstall on the same PC, run the installer and enter the same key. To move to a new PC, choose Help → Deactivate on the old one first. See Download and install.
14-day money-back guarantee: if Pagewright isn't right for you, ask for a refund within 14 days of your purchase, for any reason, and you get back the full amount you paid. After a refund, your download link stops working and the key can no longer be activated. An activated copy works offline, so a refund cannot switch it off — we ask you to deactivate and uninstall it. Read the refund policy.
Use the contact form or email Support email address — to be provided by the owner. Include your order reference from your receipt, and never send your licence key, passwords or card details. Support terms: Email support at the address on the contact page, with best-effort responses, usually within a few business days; there is no phone support.
Free lifetime updates. No subscription, no account, no uploads. Read the system requirements and terms before you buy.
For Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) only. Not available for Mac or Linux.
