A USEFUL PLACE TO START
Your next PDF job,
step by step.
Three practical guides. A clear way to get help.
A FEW PRACTICAL ANSWERS
Before you
get started.
What it does, who it is for, and where the boundaries are.
Is VL PDF free?
Personal and self-employed use remains free. Organisations need a licence for each named user. The organisational offer, price and support period are still being prepared; there is no checkout on this site.
Can I use it for my employer’s documents?
That falls under organisational use, including on your own laptop. The proposed offer is a one-off named-user licence for a specified desktop version. An organisation should confirm the available licence and deployment terms before rolling it out to staff.
Do I need an account or a document upload?
No account or document upload is needed for the local PDF tools. Those tools process files on your PC. Update checks and downloads use the internet. Cloud storage and online approvals are not offered as live services on this website.
Can I change the words already in a PDF?
You can add text boxes, fill form fields and annotate. Editing or reflowing the existing text and images in a PDF is not supported. Text export to Word is available, but it does not preserve complex layouts such as tables or columns.
Does it run on Mac, phones or in my browser?
The current desktop preview is for Windows 10 and 11 on x64 PCs. There is no Mac, mobile or browser PDF editor offered here. This website introduces the desktop application; it does not upload or process your documents.
What kind of signing does it support?
You can draw or import a visible signature and place it on a PDF. Certificate-based PDF signing is a separate tool. A drawn signature is not a certificate signature, and neither feature is a blanket promise of legal acceptance for every document or jurisdiction.
Why does the installer still say Filekin Studio?
VL PDF is the product name, used throughout the application. The captures on this site are from VL PDF 0.3.47. The invited-tester installer still carries the Filekin Studio name, which is the packaging identity an update matches on.
Will a one-off licence include every future upgrade?
No. The organisational direction covers continued use of the specified version, with a defined initial support period. Later upgrades or extra help are optional. The final price, included support and terms will be published before purchase.
