PDF-XChange Reviews

The most important features of PDF-XChange depend on my needs and goals. However, some features that I find very important include:Advanced editing toolsannotation and collaborationfile conversionInterface customizationdocument protectionAs for ease of use, I find PDF-Xchange to be relatively easy to use, especially for me who already have experience managing PDF documents.As for the integration with existing business processes, it was easy, from the experience I carry with this software, however, this may vary for other users depending on the software or systems used by the user.

As mentioned earlier, some areas where PDF-XChange could be improved include integration with other software, real-time collaboration, workflow management, user interface and automation features. However, it is worth noting that the software already offers many advanced PDF management features.I find the user interface of PDF-XChange easy to use,It's important to carefully evaluate your business needs before choosing a PDF management software to ensure it meets your specific needs. However, this integration was easy.

The ability to extract pages from a document is most impactful in my view and I have found it to be more useful for my use cases. Secondly, PDF-Xchange has a lot of features and tools to work with on a pdf document. Its also easy to use and offers a free version with all the basic tools

The UI can be improved. There just isn't an appetizing document viewer despite all the editing tools in the menu

PDF-XChange has all the features of the more expensive PDF editing software (you know the one I mean) at a much lower price. Ok, it's maybe not as polished as others but when you have 10,000 users, the savings quickly outweigh that.
We've been using it since version 3.0 and we're still going. We constantly get requests from users asking for (the other software) and giving various reasons (usually given to them by suppliers) but when we show them what PDF-XChange can do, they quickly accept it.

The only downside to PDF-XChange, and I'll admit this is where it fails against the "other" PDF software we all know about, is that if you want to edit the text in a PDF document, you generally have to convert it to another format first (using the supplied tools). you can then edit the text and resave as a PDF again. To be fair, it does retain all of the formatting and you end up with a professional finish, but this extra step can be a bit taxing.

Especially when you are trying to explain it to a user who has previously used (the other) PDF software. Otherwise, no complaints.

- open very fast
- open very large files
- allow advanced edition, like cut, extract and insert pages

- the changes in the features in the last editions.

I'm working in Civil Engineering Design firm and making and review reports are essential and I have to handle 100s of PDF documents daily basis. I love PDF-Xchange just because it's optimized performance. Opening and closing of PDF files and too quick when compared to other PDF software. Scrolling and PAN features are works smoothly and making comments on PDF are looking good. It helps to converts word and excel files without taking too much of time and also we can converts image files to PDF quickly. Organizing and re-arranging options also available in this PDF Xchange.

I'm using PDFXchange for my every PDF works except editing PDF documents. I'm badly missing this feature in this software and I want to use Adobe for editing PDF files. I hope this feature will be introduced in future.

It is a very lightweight software app. It consumes fewer system resources, it's fast, responsive and most of all customizable.No other software app out there is customizable as this one - this software lets you customize even the User Interface colors.Merging and re-arranging pages is just a seamless Drag & Drop, and the OCR is extremely accurate.Features such as 'Open file location' and 'Rename file' from the current file tab make navigating back and forth between this app and file explorer seamless.Seamless Copy/Paste with Ctrl + Drag - a feature commonly available in Microsoft products - this makes like easier.User Interface is clean, and all controls and tools are logically placed - for cracking your skull figuring where to find any tool.This app is a

AUTOMATIC PDF FILLABLE FORM:The only shortfall this app has is the inability to automatically detect and create fillable forms.It would be tremendously incredible to open a PDF file, and with a click of a button, have the app automatically create fillable forms, which the user can add/remove/edit later. (this feature is called FormTyper in Kofax PDF Advanced v5).Currently, it's a pain to create a fillable form in a file with 20+ pages because you have to add form components manually - as a result, I have to use Kofax PDF Advanced v5 to automatically create forms using FormTyper, then do the fine-tuning with PDF Xchange Pro to achieve what I need.WATCH FOLDER:The app has Tools as an additional app - which works 100% for additional tasks such as the bulk conversion of files to OCR. However, this feature needs user intervention in that, you have to click a button. The software does not do automatic processing, where you just do the setup, and have it monitor and process all new files added in a specific folder.Also, the source folder for bulk OCR processing has an option where you select subfolders, however, the output folder, the same source folder structure is not maintained - all files from the source folder and subfolders are output into one folder (subfolder-less folder).I hope these cons above will be added in the future

The interface is so easy to use - much easier than Acrobat! The menus are more easily customized, and functionality seems much easier to find. The "Add Text" feature is my favorite. It's so much easier to pinpoint exactly where I want to insert the text and then to adjust it to where I want it to be. And it is also easier to adjust the size, typeface, etc. It's so intuitive, and I like the interface better than any of its competitors. Best of all, it was so much more reasonably priced! In my office, three of us have the Tools package and one of us has the PRO package. We use it daily. I use it to prepare annotated reports for clients and redline drawings when we close out construction projects. It's so nice to have easily-manipulated tools! We've also just begun using the batch tools. I am a huge fan of this software!

The only thing I don't like about this software is that it does not have the ability to automatically detect fields when creating forms. The Tracker Software team has promised in the forums that it's on their list of things to implement, but has not given a definite date for this to happen. When it does, this software is going to be PERFECT.

The ability to quickly manipulate existing PDF's or simply create a new one from scratch was amazing. We work with thousands of in-house PDF's that are always being modified, therefor ease of use was a major requirement. Did I forgot the mention the price is 1/3 of what some of it's major competitors are charging. A commonly not used gem of a feature is the ability to shared PDF's in a library format so same PDF's are not getting overridden, therefor highly suggest using this feature if in multi users environment.

Creating form fields can be a little complex, but to that fact, i have not found any software that does an exceptional job of this other than Adobe Pro's auto create form fields function.

The software features an easy-to-use and intuitive interface. It's also a good value for money compared to similar software.

It needs to have the ability to add more customizations like Font sizes. Also, the OCR editor is not that great compared to Adobe which makes editing PDF's little difficult.

I love the functionality of the program. The ability to easily add text, signatures, and generally make use of PDF files. I use PDF Exchange viewer more than any other program, to view, edit and manage PDF files. I most probably open it 50 -100 times a day. I like the simplicity and speed of use! I have recently started using it to draw plans for my wood work projects.

I only use about 10% of its capabilities... But knowing there is a lot more I can do is very daunting :-
