What is PDF Professional?
PDF Professional is a native Mac PDF app for reading, annotating, signing, converting, and managing PDF files. It is designed for people who work with documents regularly, including students, office users, and anyone who needs more editing tools than the basic macOS preview experience provides. The app supports common PDF tasks such as highlighting text, adding notes and shapes, filling forms, rearranging pages, merging files, splitting documents, and compressing PDFs. It also includes export and conversion tools for formats such as Word, HTML, text, and images, plus sharing options that fit everyday document workflows. On Mac, it can be used as a primary PDF viewer as well as a more feature-focused tool for markup, page editing, and document preparation.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
PDF Professional is legitimate document software, and its file access and sharing features are consistent with a PDF editor's purpose. Because it can open, modify, convert, share, and password-protect documents, users should be mindful of the sensitivity of any files they handle in the app. If you use cloud-sharing features such as Dropbox integration, review the connected account and sharing settings before uploading confidential PDFs.
Recommendation: Keep PDF Professional if you use it for PDF editing, annotation, signing, or conversion on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing the app is usually reasonable and will mainly affect your ability to open and edit documents with its specific toolset.
