I appreciate having this tool because it always comes in handy when I need to edit my PDFs, it has been nothing but a pleasant experience for me.

Pros

This software is simple, user-friendly and extremely cost effective which is super convenient for all that it does. I am able to edit PDFs quickly and without any hassles, and that's all I ask for.

Cons

I have no cons to add about this software, I found it to be quite indispensable, I can't see why any business wouldn't want to try it out at least to see how much of an asset it really is. One thing you should note though, the free version does have a watermark enabled on it.

Reasons for Switching to PDF-XChange

I couldn't get anyone to vouch for ApowerPDF which led me to believe that it must be crappy software to say the least, so I opted for what most people saw as a worthy choice to make.

PDF-XChange is a highly rated and popular PDF management software. It offers a wide range of advanced features including editing, annotating, encrypting and digitally signing PDF documents. The software is considered to be easy to use and efficient for managing documents in PDF format. However, there are areas where the software could be improved, such as integration with other software and workflow automation features.

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.

Accessible tools for use in pdf documents, life has been made easy when it comes to productivity capabilities of pdf-xchange. This product was made with the daily pdf document user in mind considering all the features at the user's disposal

Pros

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

Cons

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

I'm more than happy to recommend PDF-XChange to anyone. It's cheap, reliable and is constantly being updated to keep up with hanging demands. The extra tools for splitting, merging and redacting PDF documents are all great as well.

I've only used their customer support a few times, but I've always found them to be responsive and helpful.

Overall, I don't have any plans to move away from PDF-XChange. the price is great, the product is great and the service is great. Great.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Response from Tracker Software Products

Hi Ben, it's possible to edit text in your PDF document with PDF-XChange Editor (if your PDF document doesn't contain text but images, you can apply OCR). If you need any help and have questions, please don't hesitate to contact our support team.

I have been using PDF-XChange Editor for years and this software has met my needs well. I started using the free version and, realizing the advantages of the full version, got the license. It is even possible to do some tasks with other free software, which I have come to see, but with PDF-XChange is much faster and practical. It really is software I recommend.

Pros

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

Cons

- the changes in the features in the last editions.
