Steady hands for your paperwork
PaperSteady is a complete PDF editor that runs on your own computer. Edit, sign, fill in, redact, search and combine documents — without uploading them anywhere.
For Mac · Windows version in progressEverything you reach for Acrobat to do
Built for offices that live in PDFs — law firms first, and anyone with a stack of paperwork.
Edit the text itself
Change words in place, in the document's own font, size and colour — the old text is truly removed, not covered.
Make scans searchable
Built-in text recognition turns scanned pages into searchable, copyable PDFs — on your computer.
Sign and fill forms
Fill any form, add form fields, and sign — with an optional certificate page recording who signed and when.
Real redaction
Find Social Security numbers, phone numbers, emails or names across a document and remove them for good.
Combine, split, exhibits
Merge files with exhibit cover pages, an index and bookmarks; split by pages, bookmarks or size.
Convert both ways
Word, Excel, pictures and text to PDF — and PDF to Word, even from scans, laid out like the original.
Bates, stamps, pleading paper
Bates and page numbers, stamps and watermarks, pleading paper, and an e-filing check before you file.
Works with MerusCase
Open a case's documents, save back to the case, email from it and record time — for firms that use MerusCase.
Share as Google Drive links
Send large sets of records as one Drive link, shared only with the people on the email.
Your documents stay yours
PaperSteady was made for confidential files — client records, medical reports, contracts.
Runs on your computer
Opening, editing, reading scans and saving all happen on your own machine. There's no PaperSteady server that sees your files.
Nothing leaves unless you send it
A document goes somewhere only when you do it — save it to a MerusCase case, email it, or share it through your own Google Drive.
No tracking
No ads, no analytics, no selling data. Your sign-ins for MerusCase and Google stay on your computer.
