Download Inkwell PDF

A PDF editor for Windows. Install it, then choose Continue for Free, or sign in with the key from your purchase email.

Getting started

Download the installer and run it. If Windows SmartScreen asks, choose More info, then Run anyway.
Inkwell opens on its sign-in screen. Choose Continue for Free to start straight away, or sign in with your email and license key.
Open a PDF, or drop one on the window. Inkwell keeps itself up to date from then on.

Continue for Free is now a clear button on the sign-in screen. No account is needed: open, read and edit with the free tools straight away.
The Free plan can save or export 10 documents a day. A document's first save, Save As, export or print of the day uses one; after that it saves and exports as often as you like until midnight. Saving a file with no changes is free.
The status bar and Settings → Account show how many free exports are left and when the count resets.
Before a document uses one of the day's free exports, Inkwell asks first. Tick "Don't ask again" to stop the question (Settings → Account turns it back on).
Settings → Account keeps a history of your free exports: when, and what kind, never file names or what was in them.
Try paid tools before you buy: on the Free plan you can use shapes, fonts, the ruler, underline and strikeout, magic select, Edit Existing Text, page organizing, sections and form filling. A strip shows what you're trying. To save a document that uses them, upgrade or choose "Remove tried-out edits".

The Free plan no longer limits how many PDFs you open a day. The daily limit now counts saves and exports instead.
Clicking a paid feature shows a short message with an Upgrade button instead of a dialog.
Printing on the Free plan counts as an export, like saving.
