An Adobe Acrobat alternative for every device you own

ASAPDF runs on a Mac, a Windows PC, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Android and the web. One plan covers every one of them, with every tool included, and there's no limit on how many devices you're signed into. Adobe's own help page says you can be signed into two devices at the same time.

• Mac
• Windows
• Linux

• iPhone
• iPad
• Android

Sign in with the same Bravely Account on each one, as many as you own, and on the web.

• Linux: Acrobat's desktop app is made for Windows and macOS. On Linux, ASAPDF is an app of its own: a .deb for Ubuntu, Mint and Debian, or an AppImage.
• The same tools everywhere: every tool is in every plan, on every device.

Open the PDF, click into a field and type. Checkboxes tick with a click, and a dropdown opens its list so you can pick from it.

Choose the signature tool and draw your signature on the trackpad, or paste a screenshot of one you already have and crop it down to the signature. Tick Save to my signatures, choose Use Signature, then click where it goes on the page.

A signature saved on one device is in your saved signatures on every device you sign in on with the same Bravely Account: open a PDF on your phone and it's there to place.

If the printed text has a typo, choose Edit text, click the word and choose Edit, then type the fix and choose Replace. ASAPDF sets your change in the original's font, size and color.

• It's for a word or a line, not a paragraph: a longer fix takes the rest of its line along, and the text doesn't reflow onto the next line.

Choose Send for signature, then drop a signature box, initials and a date where they belong (there are text and checkbox boxes too). Choose Continue, and send it by QR code, link or email.

The other person opens the link in a browser, agrees to sign electronically, types their name and signs. There's no app to install and no account to make.

When they're done, the signed copy comes back to you with a Certificate of Completion at the end: the document, the signer, when it was completed and an audit trail. If you emailed it and they forget, a reminder emails them a fresh link, and the old one stops working.

If the person is sitting across the desk, show a QR code on your screen instead. They scan it with their phone's camera, sign with a finger on their own phone, and the signature shows up on your screen. When they finish, your screen says Signed, with their name, and the signed copy is ready to save.

With a phone, scan a paper receipt with the camera. Text recognition makes its words searchable and selectable inside the PDF, so you can find a line later or copy it out.

Merge several scanned documents into one PDF: open one, choose Merge PDFs, and pick the others. Their pages go at the end.

ASAPDF doesn't build web forms. It fills a PDF's own form fields and places boxes for someone to sign, but if building web forms is what you use Acrobat for, Acrobat is probably worth its price.

• For every feature side by side, see ASAPDF vs Adobe Acrobat.

Paying as you go, Acrobat Pro is $29.99 a month. ASAPDF's monthly plan, which you can stop anytime, is $9.99 a month. Over a year, that's $240 less. Adobe's annual plan, billed monthly, is $19.99 a month: still more than twice ASAPDF's monthly plan. All as of November 13, 2026.

• Devices: one ASAPDF plan covers every device you own, with no limit on how many you're signed into. Adobe's help page says you can be signed into two devices at the same time.
• Rather not subscribe? There's a one-time lifetime option.

ASAPDF is actively developed. If there's something you need that it doesn't do, tell us. It's a download for Mac, Windows and Linux, it's on the App Store and Google Play, and it runs in your browser. Sign in with your Bravely Account and open a PDF.
