Every workflow.
One product.
One product that handles PDF editing, e-signatures, redaction, conversion, and protection. Open, edit, sign, redact, convert, protect — and ship.
Edit anything
Click any text on any page and change it. Move and resize images. Replace fonts. Reflow paragraphs without rebuilding the page. The kind of edit that used to need the original Word file.
- Live text editing with reflow
- Move, resize, replace images
- Embedded font detection
- Undo / redo across the entire session
E-signatures
Send a contract for signature, drop in fields, get notified the moment it's signed. Audit trail of who signed, when, from where. Full ESIGN + eIDAS compliance. No per-signature add-on fees.
- Drag-drop signature, initials, date, text fields
- Sequenced signing order
- Audit trail for compliance
- Bulk send via CSV
OCR & searchable PDFs
Drop in a scan. Get searchable, copyable, indexable text. We use modern transformer-based OCR — not the 2005-era stuff that turns 'rn' into 'm'.
- 40+ languages, including non-Latin scripts
- Layout-aware (tables, columns, headers)
- Indexed text for full-document search
- Batch convert hundreds of files
Convert without losing layout
The reason you hate PDF conversion is that everyone else's tool turns your beautiful document into ransom-note text. Ours doesn't. We round-trip through structured intermediates, not images.
- PDF → Word, keeps fonts and tables intact
- PDF → Excel, recognizes table structures
- PDF → PowerPoint, slide-per-page
- Word/Excel/PowerPoint → PDF, structured output
True redaction
When you redact, the text underneath is actually removed from the file. Many redaction tools just paint a black rectangle on top — leaving the original text searchable. We don't.
- Permanent removal of redacted content
- Pattern-based bulk redaction (SSN, credit cards, emails)
- Reviewable redaction queue before commit
- Audit log of what was removed and when
Fillable forms
Build a form, send it out, collect responses, export to CSV. Conditional fields, calculated values, required validation. A modern form builder built for the kind of work teams actually do.
- Drag-drop field builder
- Conditional logic (if A, show B)
- Calculated fields (totals, dates)
- Response export to CSV / Excel / API
AES-256 password protection
Independent passwords for opening and for restricting actions. Permission flags — printing, copying, editing — gate behind the owner password. The same protection model the PDF standard defines, just exposed clearly.
- Open password — restrict who can view
- Permissions password — restrict who can print/copy/edit
- Both can apply simultaneously
- AES-256 throughout (qpdf engine)
Print to Alba 365
A real Windows printer named Alba 365 PDF Printer. Any app on your computer that can print sends straight into Alba 365, ready to edit and sign.
- Appears in every Print dialog
- Save as Alba 365 PDF in Word's ribbon
- Watch folder fallback for users without the driver
- macOS & Linux roadmap (CUPS-PDF)
Workflow automation
Programmatic API for the things you do every day. Webhooks when a doc is signed. Zaps to fire downstream systems. The bridge between your PDF tool and the rest of your stack.
- REST API for every action
- Webhook events: signed, opened, edited, deleted
- Zapier & Make.com integrations
- Self-hostable for Enterprise
