Open this photo in gallery:Raj Mittal at his home in London, Ont., Sept. 23. Nicole Osborne/The Globe and MailRaj Mittal’s new heart came in an unusual package. After a cardiac arrest and a triple bypass in June, 2025, he spent a month and a half sedated in intensive care at the London Health Sciences Centre in Ontario before he could return home to his wife and two children. When his heart condition led to pneumonia in January and another hospital stay, he learned he was a candidate for a heart transplant. Typically heart donors are patients who have been declared brain dead, but whose hearts are still beating. Once the organs are removed they are placed on ice, and can last in this state for only up to six hours, limiting how far they can travel. But when Mr. Mittal’s heart arrived in February, two weeks after he was added to Ontario’s transplant list, it was still warm and pumping blood.

TL;DR: Get lifetime access to PDF Expert for Mac for $79.99 (reg. $139.99), with tools for editing text, rearranging pages, signing forms, and working with scanned PDFs. Your Mac can handle some pretty impressive things, so it’s a little annoying when editing a PDF becomes the task that slows you down. Fixing one typo shouldn’t require a new workflow, and signing a form shouldn’t turn into a whole afternoon of troubleshooting. PDF Expert brings tools for editing text, inserting images, signing forms, and converting documents into one app. For a limited time, new users can get a lifetime subscription for $79.99 (reg. $139.99). The app lets you edit existing PDF text, replace images, add links, and make changes without rebuilding a document from scratch. You can also highlight important sections, leave comments, and add notes when reviewing reports, contracts, or class materials. If your PDFs are scattered across multiple files, PDF Expert can merge them into one document or split a larger file into smaller ones. You can rearrange, rotate, and delete pages, too, which is useful when someone sends you a 40-page document and you only need three pages.
