When you install PDF Architect, there are a few add-ons that are installed. We provide a quick conversion tool for your web browsers and Microsoft Office applications. We also provide a previewer for Windows and Microsoft Outlook.

We recommend saving any open files in PDF Architect. PDF Architect will prompt you to close the application should it be open during the removal process.

We have two additional modules. The OCR module allows you to recognize and edit text within any scanned document or image. We also have the E-Sign module that allows you to electronically sign PDFs and track and manage e-signatures in real time. If those modules are not available for you, you can purchase them here.
