## Who switches, and why

### From Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint

Keep the same .docx, .xlsx and .pptx files, open a whole folder of them in one window, and let the AI you already use edit them with every change shown on the page
Colleagues who use Office open your files exactly as before

### From Adobe Acrobat

Edit text, highlight, comment, fill forms and sign PDFs, then split, merge, compress or convert them, without a separate PDF subscription
Scanned pages can be read on your own computer

### From Google Docs

Work on real files on your own computer instead of documents in a browser, with a version history that stays in your folder and works offline

### From ChatGPT or Claude on their own

No more pasting a document into a chat and copying the answer back
The assistant edits the file in place, every change is shown, and one press undoes the lot

### Is there an Adobe Acrobat alternative for editing PDFs?

Offlexity edits PDF text, adds highlights, notes and signatures, fills forms, and splits, merges, compresses and converts PDFs to Word, Excel or PowerPoint

A local file editor opens files from folders on your own computer and saves them back there, instead of uploading them to a website
