We can edit pdfs in an easy way without the need to import or cut/copy/paste and then format. Is like a little Microsoft Word brother, but cheaper. And have a very good and light PDF reader, too.

Pros

The PRO version give us a lot of features like combine pdf files, edit forms, commenting tools, or add watermarks in an easy way.

Cons

I think the interface looks a little old.

Alternatives Considered

Adobe Acrobat Reader and Foxit PDF Reader

Reasons for Switching to CutePDF

The price is right.

Pros

How fast you can do things and simply undo them. This does more than programs charging 10 times as much.

Cons

It is only PC wish we had it for Macs. I wish it did VDP that is the only feature lacking

Have been integrating and using the sam with other doc generation applications to create pdf legal documents, edit and send the same for esignature. Very happy with overall features and functioning of the app

Pros

Have the ability to convert files from rtf or docx to pdf format in simple and efficient way. Can attach multiple pdf files and create one common pdf and add in custom data fields for a user to fill in along with signature field to complete the same with esign.

Cons

Best tool with majority of pdf file features available. Improvements on field scripting to add logical code would be added advantage

Best PDF Editing Software

Reviewed on 2022/06/29

Pros

CutePDF has made streamlined our PDF creation workflows by allowing you to merge pdf’s, reorder pages, and insert pages to finalize documents before we send them to clients or print them.

Cons

As of now there are no features that I feel are missing in the software so I have nothing to say regarding not liking anything.

Overall my experience with CutePDF has been good. I can always rely CutePDF for all my PDF editing/merging needs. I do wish the user interface looked better but that is personal preference. All the buttons/features you need are there and easy to find, it's just not aesthetically pleasing.

Pros

I liked the features that allowed me to merge PDF documents together and editing PDF documents. I liked how easy it was to rotate pages and add pages. It was very intuitive to use and did not require much learning to understand how CutePDF works.

Cons

CutePDF cannot open/merge protected PDF files. Occasionally an error would appear when I tried opening PDF files with CutePDF. Simply closing CutePDF and reopening the file with CutePDF would solve the trick.

CutePDF is basic but does the job

Reviewed on 2021/06/06

Pros

I use CutePDF in tandem with other PDF software programs (such as PowerPDF Advanced). I like it because the version I have doesn't require a subscription. I abhor subscription based programs. CutePDF offers some features that are easier to utilize than some other more expensive PDF programs, such as the typewriter feature and the comment feature.

Cons

Some features are missing or are limited and not very user friendly. For example, the Bates stamping feature has a ways to go.

Overall we've had a hassle free experience using CutePDF writer and best of all, it is free.

Pros

Very easy to create PDF's from a range of documents. We have had font issues in the past with other programs, including instances where a symbol appeared on the PDF. Cute PDF consistently provides reliable PDF quality without any symbols appearing. Integrates well with Print dialogue. The free version is great to use.

Cons

The free version, as expected, doesn't have the same level of functionality as Adobe. You can't manipulate PDF's.

Cons

The free version does not work very well - and so I find it difficult to upgrade to the paid version since you would expect the free version to work well - but without a lot of bells and whistles.

Pros

Cons

There is not anything that I did not like about this software. We have been using it for years and it just works.

Mi experiencia, como he manifestado anteriormente es muy buena con este programa, es muy recomendable.

Pros

Lo que mas me ha gustado e interesado es que la versión gratuita (Licencia pública general de GNU.) tiene muchas características interesantes para hacer "casi" todo con los pdf, incluso puede competir con muchos softwares que son de pago.

Cons

Al se una versión con Licencia pública general de GNU, no se puede ser muy exigente pero no le veo contras importantes.
