A PDF editor you actually own
Many PDF programs are only available as monthly or yearly subscriptions. If you edit PDFs regularly but not every day, you end up paying many times the price over the years. PDFnord deliberately takes a different route: you buy a licence once and use it permanently.
What “no subscription” means with PDFnord
- One-time price: PDFnord Standard 2026 costs €149 incl. 19% German VAT per device – with volume pricing from 2 licences.
- No term, no cancellation: nothing renews automatically.
- Perpetual use: the licence does not expire. Your installed version keeps working even if you never buy anything again.
- Updates included: fixes and improvements for version 2026 arrive for free via the built-in updater.
- Switch devices: new PC? Release the activation in your customer account and activate the licence on the new device.
A quick calculation
Monthly subscription fees easily add up to several hundred euros over three years. With PDFnord you pay €149 once – and a team with five workstations pays only €129 per licence thanks to volume pricing.
Full feature set already in Standard
No subscription does not mean fewer features: editing text and images, annotations, form filling, digital signatures, OCR, export to Word, Excel and PowerPoint, merging, splitting, compressing and password protection are all part of PDFnord Standard.
