The problem this free PDF editor solves
School paperwork arrives as PDF: forms, worksheets, scanned notes, exams. Fixing one word, merging two files or signing a page often leads to a paid tool or to a website that asks you to upload private documents. AICKO PDF does the work on your own computer.
What AICKO PDF can do
- Edit text: double-click a line to correct it while keeping the original font, size and color. Add bold, italic, alignment and new text boxes.
- Organize pages: drag and drop thumbnails, delete, rotate, duplicate, extract or insert pages, merge several PDFs or split one.
- Convert: PDF to Word (.docx), PDF to PNG or JPG, and images or photos to PDF.
- Compress a PDF, draw a signature, add stamps, a watermark and page numbers.
- Protect a file with an AES-256 password, and truly redact sensitive information.
- OCR: make a scanned PDF searchable and copyable with the Windows text recognition.
- Fill in forms and have a document read aloud.
Tools for teachers
AICKO PDF also helps teachers prepare class material: fill-in-the-blank sheets, a split between questions and answer keys, an A5 booklet, two or four pages per sheet, and a version adapted for students with dyslexia.
Who it is for
- Students who need to merge, reorder or sign school documents.
- Parents who handle forms and want to keep files private.
- Teachers who build worksheets and booklets from existing PDFs.
Privacy deserves a word. Many online PDF sites ask you to upload the file, which is a poor idea for a report card, a medical form or an ID copy. Here the work stays on your computer, so nothing leaves it. When you share a document, you can add a watermark or redact a name first, and the redaction really removes the hidden text, not just a black box on top of it.

How it helps with math homework
Math worksheets are usually PDFs. With AICKO PDF a student can merge several worksheets into one file, extract only the pages to print, or add text to a page. Combine it with our math lessons for the explanations and the math books section for longer practice sets. Unfamiliar terms are quick to check in the math glossary.
