Add text anywhere
Fill forms that aren't fillable. Pick size, colour and bold. Vietnamese and other accented text works.
Highlight, underline, strike
Drag across text to mark it. Marks are baked into the file, so every viewer shows them.

Questions
Is this a subscription?
No. $29 once. Version 1 updates are free. A future version 2 will be a discounted upgrade, never forced.
Does edited text keep the original font?
Replaced text uses a clean built-in font (Noto Sans). For most documents it blends in; on a stylised heading you may notice the change. Font-matching editing is on the roadmap.
How good is the Word export?
It keeps the page layout: each line of text becomes an editable text frame in the right place, with font, size, colour and images. Good for changing words and sending on. It does not rebuild paragraphs or tables, so long edits that need text to reflow are better done in the PDF itself.
Where do my files go?
Nowhere. Inkpad PDF is a desktop app; it reads and writes files on your disk only. The licence check sends your key, nothing else.
Can I move my licence to a new computer?
Yes. File › Licence › Deactivate this computer, then activate on the new one. Two active computers per key.
Refunds?
30 days, no questions. Reply to your receipt email.
