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\! > > **Cons**: 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. > > It was a replacement for Adobe Acrobat 9 that I previously used. I didn't want to go to the subscription-based software, and I actually ended up LOVING this software much better than I ever did with Acrobat. And that's saying a lot - I was a very brand-loyal Adobe user\! ----- ### "Does everything you'd need it to at a great price" — 5.0/5 > **Ben** | *26 April 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Good, but some improve is needed to edit funcionality" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 July 2019* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use and intuitive interface make this software accessible for users at any level. Well organized top ribbon with few well grouped buttons allow to navigate among functions, and let users easily add/edit elements on their pdf documents, with an overall word processor feeling. > > **Cons**: Some negative aspects are related to the edit function. In several cases, the software tends to change the original font in a specific chunk of text (ie: if you want to add a letter in a mistyped word), and even if the typography appears good and consistent during the editing session, it loses consistency as soon as you save it. Someway the software replaces the original typography with a new one. > > PDF-XChange allows to quickly process pdf's without the need to gather the source it comes from. Extremely useful in today's work environments where production and transmission of digital documents represent a relevant part of daily activity (ie: invoicing / orders / brochures). Some annoying aspects affect the software reliability (typography consistency) and decrease productivity, but after some practice and experience, they can be easily handled with some workaround. ----- ### "pdf Exchange - better than Acrobat?" — 5.0/5 > **Brett** | *31 October 2023* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very powerful and customizable. Improves workflow > > **Cons**: Some powerful features are hard to find and implement. Also the default setup/ interface didnt suit me but if you go into settings its possible to have it start and operate exactly to your preferences. > > I love this software and switched from Acrobat. I found Acrobat had "dumbed down" the interface so much i was continually looking through menus to find a function. Not to mention the outrageous cost of Adobe products in general. ----- ### "There IS an alternative to Adobe Acrobat\!" — 5.0/5 > **Patrick** | *8 October 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The feature that probably won me over to PDF-XChange (and led me successively from the free version to the PRO version) is manipulating PDFs: adding pages, removing pages, reordering pages, rotating pages, etc. Another feature that I use quite a bit is the stamp, which I use to insert my signature into documents. However, I could go on and on about other features of the application. > > **Cons**: On a few rare occasions I have encountered issues with "special" or out-of-the-ordinary printing. When this occurs, I typically revert to Adobe Acrobat Reader. However, PDF-XChange makes this very easy with the 'Launch' button that appears in the lower right-hand corner. So, PDF-XChange is helping me indirectly in a situation where it may not be able to help me directly. > > We save a lot of our documents (invoices, receipts, statements, etc.) in PDF format. PDF-XChange just makes the process of working with PDFs simple and efficient. At one point I worked at a temporary job where I was not able to install PDF-XChange on my computer. I really felt the absence of PDF-XChange during that time (and when it was over, one of the things that I was excited about was being able to use it once again). ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2077124/pdf-xchange?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2077124/pdf-xchange) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
