Have you ever had to fill out and sign a PDF-based form? Or change the date on a PDF-based flyer? Comment on a document sent around your workplace as a PDF file? Scan a document to PDF and OCR the text? Smile's PDFpen 5 can perform these and many other PDF manipulations more easily than Adobe Acrobat, and at a fraction of the price. With clarity and humor, Take Control of PDFpen 5 explains precisely what you can do with PDFs using PDFpen and its big brother, PDFpenPro.

- Turn a Web site into a multi-page PDF
- Add or remove pages from a PDF
- Add a hand-written signature to a PDF
- Add page and URL links to a PDF
- Make a clickable table of contents for a PDF
- Use professional editing marks on a PDF

An appendix describes the many useful AppleScripts that ship with PDFpen.
