A Robust PDF Software That Prevails Over The Competition

I'd say it's a well-crafted piece of software that strikes a perfect balance between simplicity & rich feature-set, thus making it a compelling choice for those who wish to utilize PDF files without any hassle.
Pros
The features, ease of use thanks to its ever-improving UI with the timely, meaningful updates makes it a worthy investment on a software that cause no hindrances to my productivity. Furthermore, the synchronization of every viewed or edited PDF file across my devices makes it tremendously convenient to switch between my tablet & computer on the go to carry on from where I left off.
Cons
I cannot think of any demerit encountered with the software. It's great.
Reasons for Choosing PDFpen
Poor performance coupled with messed-up conversion of images & Arabic text via OCR & export to different formats ultimately deviated me to another PDF-handling software, which turned out to be PDFpen.Reasons for Switching to PDFpen
Upon trying out these programs in their provided trial period, I found out PDFpen to be the most accurate among the lot. That's why I stayed using it ever since.

I'm a happy user of PDFpen for nearly a decade. It's my go-to PDF app on Mac, although Highlights is rapidly replacing it in some cases.
Pros
It truly is a drop-in replacement for Acrobat and comes packed with features that make it a great choice for anyone looking for a comprehensive PDF editor.One of the standout features of this software is its annotation and signature capabilities. These tools are incredibly intuitive and easy to use, allowing users to add comments, highlights, and even digital signatures to their PDFs with ease.Additionally, the software's ability to convert files to PDF/A format is a huge plus for anyone looking to create long-term archives of their documents. This feature ensures that your files will remain accessible and readable for years to come, making it a valuable tool for businesses and individuals alike.Overall, I highly recommend this software to anyone in need of a powerful and feature-rich PDF editor. Its seamless integration with existing workflows and its robust set of tools make it a top choice for professionals and casual users alike.
Cons
PDFpen Pro has a few issues that make it a less-than-ideal choice for users. Firstly, the UI is not very user-friendly when it comes to discovering features. This can make it frustrating for users who are trying to accomplish specific tasks but are unable to find the right tools.Additionally, since the app has been taken over by Nitro, there is some uncertainty about the direction of its development. This lack of clarity can make it difficult for users to feel confident about investing in the app or relying on it for their PDF editing needs.Overall, while PDFpen Pro may have some useful features, its usability issues and uncertain future make it a less-than-reliable choice for users in the long run.

Not as good as Adobe
Reviewed on 2019/10/15
It became worth it for us to pay monthly for Adobe- a far superior product.

Pros
We wanted a inexpensive option for a comprehensive pdf editor and viewer. It has some functionality similar to Adobe but it didn’t add up.
Cons
The program continuously crashed and was terribly slow. The redact function was horrible.

In azienda lo abbiamo testato e preso in seria considerazione come software adatto per l'editing PDF ma poi abbiamo ripiegato su Adobe Acrobat soprattutto perché acquistando la Adobe Creative cloud lo avevamo già incluso nel pacchetto di programmi. Comunque PDFpen è un ottimo software per creare e modificare rapidamente documenti pdf.
Pros
PDFpen è un software per l'editing PDF affidabile e facile da usare. PDFPen permette all'utente di creare documenti PDF da zero e di modificarli aggiungendo testo, immagini, annotazioni, firme digitali e tanto altro in maniera semplice grazie ad un'interfaccia molto intuitiva. Offre all'utente anche la possibilità di impedire la modifica del documento PDF da parte di terzi. PDFPen ha inoltre un ottimo strumento OCR.
Cons
Non ho trovato niente che non funzioni nel software. Peccato che PDFpen sia disponibile solo per utenti Mac.
