Having worked in copywriting of some sort for most of my adult life, I have often struggled to find the right software for a particular purpose, but once I do, I sign up for life. It's the same with PDF editing software.
You may be working in Microsoft Office or on Google Suite, creating online documents, but like me, once you need to share it with someone or upload your work as an attachment, you suddenly find that you need to convert it to PDF.
Now, creating a PDF is one thing, but editing after conversion? That's another thing entirely. But that's okay!
I'm here to share the wonderful realization that PDF Reader Pro has annual and lifetime subscriptions to software that can annotate, sign, and add images to your PDFs with a few clicks.
