I also have an old copy of Acrobat Pro (V9), and I've found that has
some useful batch processing capabilities which have allowed me to
delete the first page of a batch of statements and also crop off much of
the heading, which will simplify the files for subsequent processing

The best part of the Acrobat Pro payware, nowadays anyway, since freeware abounds, is the control+shift+o which will take as input any web page URL.

Then, if you let it, it will put the entire web site onto that PDF.
With links.

So you have to bound it a bit.
I usually only let it go down a couple of layers.

Otherwise, the entire Internet is saved into a single clickable PDF file.

PDFGear (free!) gets better and better in my estimation, and I may not
need to purchase anything for general use.

"In the future, most features will remain free, but there will be a fee
for some advanced options."

I've run into this before, but often with no notification by the author
that is the temporarily free demoware, and they plan to go with a
premium paid version when they feel their product has matured
sufficiently with the help of their volunteer users to be ready for
commercial marketing. They hint the AI feature may become a premium
feature, but not what else will get yanked away from the free version.
They're still in their planning stage to go payware. Probably depends
on how may freeloaders they cull, how many will move from the freeware
to the payware for features to which they've become accustomed or
ingrained, and must have, so they will pay.

They showed up in 2022. Since then they have been using freeloaders to
tweak and debug their software. They have their own web-based forum
where users can submit bug reports, and feature requests along with discussions. This feedback is important to them as they mature their
products toward commercial deployment.

I was going to trial PDFgear, but decided I'm done with being yet
another [often unnotified] voluntary alpha tester. I'll wait until they
slice apart the current release into their freeware and payware versions
to decide how their freeware version compares to other freeware PDF viewers/annotators, or how much they'll charge for their payware
version, and if it has anything I need to qualify the cost.
