KillerPDF
Free, open-source PDF editor for Windows·pdf.killertools.net
KillerPDF is a native Windows PDF viewer, annotator, and light editor delivered as a single self-contained executable, with no account, subscription, or installer required. It renders documents with PDFium, performs OCR through Tesseract, and supports inline text editing, form filling and signing, merging and splitting, page stamping, and printing at 300 DPI — all processed locally with no telemetry and no ads. It also opens password-protected files by prompting for a password and repairs damaged or broken-xref PDFs.
