Arc PDF is evolving from a lightweight PDF reader and annotation tool into a full native PDF editor with AI. Edit existing text and images, add new content, annotate, reorganize pages, and make scanned documents searchable with OCR. You can also connect your own AI models to summarize, translate, extract tables, generate mind maps, and work with your PDFs through natural language. Unlike cloud-based PDF editors, Arc PDF is designed as a native Mac app with no account or subscription required.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m the maker of Arc PDF, a native PDF editor with AI for Mac.
I built Arc PDF because I wanted a PDF app that felt lightweight and simple, without giving up the features I actually need: editing text and images, adding content, annotating documents, reorganizing pages, and making scanned PDFs searchable with OCR.
The AI tools let you summarize, translate, extract tables, generate mind maps, and work with your PDFs using natural language. You can also connect your own AI models and choose the provider you prefer.
Arc PDF is completely free, with no account or subscription required.
I’d love to hear what you think — especially what you wish your current PDF app could do better. 🚀
