PDF Agile vs Web to PDF

PDF Agile is a PDF reader and editor for Windows, macOS, and the web. It can modify PDF documents, including scans, without the original source files, and convert PDFs to and from Word, Excel, and PowerPoint while preserving fonts and formatting. Annotation tools cover highlights, underlines, strikethroughs, text, shapes, and freehand drawing. Security features include password protection, permanent redaction, and electronic signatures. Other tools handle compression, merging, splitting, OCR, cropping, page order and rotation, page numbering, links, presentations, screenshots, search, printing, bookmarks, and backgrounds. Browser-based tools cover conversion, organization, compression, protection, unlocking, and page rearrangement. The free plan lists 2 Page* and 5 Tasks for conversion. Paid plans are described as one-time payments with no recurring charges: the Semi-Annual Plan is $39 a month, the Annual Plan is $59 a month, and the Lifetime Plan is $119 a month. A purchased license can be used on up to two computers through an account.

Web to PDF turns a webpage URL into a file for offline sharing or record keeping. It can produce PDF, JPG, PNG, GIF, or TIFF files, and lists additional conversions from HTML, HTM, or MHT to PDF and PDF to HTML. Page controls cover size, orientation, margins, and zoom, including custom dimensions. Other settings include print layout, removing JavaScript or links, page numbers, grayscale, bookmarks, and a configurable wait time. Its Chromium-based engine can render page content updated by JavaScript. For PDFs, users can apply a text watermark, set a password, or prevent extraction and printing. No account or email is needed. The service says files are machine processed without human review and transferred over HTTPS, but advises against submitting highly sensitive or critical files. Files can remain available for up to one hour, and login-required pages are unsupported. The FAQ says conversions are free, though terms allow frequency limits tied to usage and server capacity.
