PDFCraft — Free Open-Source PDF Editor (Alternative to Adobe Acrobat)

If you bought a PDF template from digivirtual.ir but you don't want to commit to Adobe Acrobat's monthly subscription, you don't have to. PDFCraft is a free, open-source PDF editor written in Rust that reads, edits, merges, splits, and secures PDF files locally — and today we'd like to introduce it to you.

Whether you're editing a bank statement, a utility bill, an ID card PDF, or any other PDF template from our store, PDFCraft gives you a familiar PDF workbench you can rely on — at zero cost, with no account, no telemetry, and no cloud.

What is PDFCraft?

PDFCraft is a free, open-source PDF editor written in Rust from the ground up. It's designed as a fully on-device alternative to Adobe Acrobat for reading, editing, merging, splitting, and securing PDF documents.

Despite being new, PDFCraft already ships with a rich feature set: faithful rendering of world scripts including vertical Japanese, color emoji, and transparency; search as you type with text selection following the document's reading order; page organization like cards (rotate, delete, insert, reorder); fearless incremental atomic saves with autosave and crash recovery; and built-in security that opens PDFs encrypted from RC4 to AES-256.

Why PDFCraft for PDFs from our store?

Every PDF template sold on digivirtual.ir — bank statements, utility bills, ID card PDFs — can be opened and edited directly in PDFCraft. That means you can edit any template you purchased from us without paying an Adobe Acrobat subscription fee.

PDFCraft's fidelity and safety are exceptional: faithful rendering of scripts and transparency, no telemetry, no account, incremental atomic saves with autosave and crash recovery, and the ability to open encrypted PDFs from RC4 all the way to AES-256 while honoring author permissions.
