DM Adieu PDF — Edit, sign and organize PDFs

Coming to the Mac App Store.

DM Adieu PDF is a native PDF reader and editor for the Mac. Read, comment, fill in forms, sign, redact and reorganize PDFs in one fast app that runs entirely on your Mac. No account, no subscription, no cloud.

Built on open source

DM Adieu PDF is based on PdfCraft, the open-source PDF editor by the ArtCraft team, written in Rust. We package it, run it inside the macOS App Sandbox, and support it. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the ArtCraft team. The source it is built from is public, under the MIT and Apache licences.

What you get

  • Sharp pages at any zoom, continuous, single-page and two-up layouts, a distraction-free Read mode, and light and dark themes.
  • Organize pages like cards on a table: rotate, delete, reorder, insert, extract and split. Combine any number of PDFs into one, with links, form fields, layers and attachments kept.
  • Highlights, notes and threaded comments, with a Comments panel to review them page by page.
  • Interactive forms: fill in text fields, check boxes, radio buttons and lists, including calculated fields, and prepare forms of your own.
  • Signatures: sign with an image of your handwritten signature, or with a digital ID from your Keychain or one you create in the app.
  • Redaction that removes what is underneath for good, password protection, headers and footers, page numbers, watermarks and backgrounds.
  • Incremental saves that leave the original bytes intact, deep undo that survives a save, and automatic recovery after a crash.

Honest about where it stands

The editor underneath is young and improving quickly. Editing text that is already in a PDF is still fragile on some files, exporting to Word does not keep the layout, and some forms and scripts are only partly supported. Text recognition for scanned pages is not in this first version. Updates will be frequent.
