Original app
Not Acrobat. Not a clone. A straightforward PDF toolset built for Android.
The problem
Most PDF apps want a subscription for basic work.
You needed to sign a form and merge two files. You got a login wall, a trial, and a renewal you forgot to cancel.
Subscriptions for occasional edits
Sign once a month? You shouldn't pay monthly. OpenEdit is $20 once for the full workshop.
Cloud uploads by default
Your contracts and invoices stay on your phone. No account required to open a PDF.
Bloated “suites”
No enterprise upsell. View, sign, and mark up free. Pay once when you need the heavy tools.
How it works
Open a file. Use the tool you need. Save.
Open from anywhere
Tap a PDF from your files, email, or another app. Recent documents stay one tap away.
Mark up for free
Highlight, draw, add notes, type text, sign with finger or stylus, and fill forms.
Unlock the workshop once
Merge, split, compress, OCR, edit text, export to Word — one payment, yours forever.
The toolset
Free viewer and markup. Full workshop when you unlock.
View & search
Pinch-zoom, page nav, dark page, reflow, and search.
Sign & mark up
Highlight, draw, notes, type, sign, and fill forms.
Photos & save
Add camera or gallery photos. Save over original or save as.

Questions
Before you buy
Is this a subscription?
No. $20 NZD once. You keep the full workshop after you redeem the code.
Is this Adobe Acrobat?
No. OpenEdit PDF is an original app from OwnForge. It is not affiliated with Adobe or Acrobat.
I live outside New Zealand. What will I pay?
The price is set in NZD. Stripe converts it, so most overseas buyers pay less than $20 in their own currency.
Do my PDFs upload to the cloud?
No. Files stay on your device. The internet is only used for payment and unlock-code checks.
What if I lose the code?
Keep a screenshot or email yourself the success page. If you paid and lost the code, contact OwnForge with your Stripe receipt.
