What do you like best about PDF-XChange Editor?

PDF-XChange Editor provides a decent set of features in their free version. It is easy to set up the program to view some files. More advanced features are available with a paid license, but this is where PDF-XChange shines. Licensing is not a subscription that requires annual payments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDF-XChange Editor?

The user interface of PDF-XChange Editor can be shocking to new users as there are many tools and options. It can take some time to get accustomed to where everything is located. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PDF-XChange Editor?

Editing had never been this easy until I started using this editor. It is very user-friendly and lets you make use of almost every tool. It's super simple and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDF-XChange Editor?

The files to be edited should be preloaded, and it takes a few seconds; this needs to be updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PDF-XChange Editor?

There are LOADS of options to work with, and the menus are well-organized. It is light and nimble, and it doesn't seem to take too much memory. It is localized, which is goof if you prefer to customize the interface according to you language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDF-XChange Editor?

The menu icons are really colorful and detailed... maybe too much? I prefer a sober look, but it remains clear enough to find the UX usable. It's like too much details get me out of my reading flow! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PDF-XChange Editor?

Editing and marking the pdf, being a Chartered Account we use a lot of PDFs, so while making the PDFs, we need to highlight certain points, mark a few things, and Edit certain things for a better explanation, so we had used different applications, but PDF- Xchange Editor was the best among all these, and one more use of it is we merge various pdf's so the application does it for us, so we don't need to go online attach the documents, merge it and then again download, but this application has made it so easy for us, by doing it offline, without any download and upload headache.

What do you dislike about PDF-XChange Editor?

Nothing, only for using a certain function which is not available on the free version, so we need to go for the premium version, which is too costly, but fortunately, my organisation has taken the premium version, so I had used all the function of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful feature of this product is inserting text into a document. Other programs make it difficult at times but this product makes it super simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDF-XChange Editor?

I do not like the UI. It seems very early 2010s. An upgraded task panel with more modern buttons would make it better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PDF-XChange Editor?

It allows to edit, change, and read at much lower costs than Adobe. However, it is a very powerful tool and allows to do a variety of functions that are not available in most other tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDF-XChange Editor?

Any plugins required by this tool are required to be pre-loaded before opening the pdf file. Sometimes the plugins are not loaded by default, and the pdf needs to be relaunched to use those functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PDF Exchanger is one such tool that seems better than Adobe acrobat. Because here you can open multiple PDF's and edit, highlight PDF and do free searches over the PDF.Its easily editable and you can insert comments and extract pages and recreate separate PDF also Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDF-XChange Editor?

PDF exchangers do not have PDF unlock features. It should be have these features and then most of the work is done I assume. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PDF-XChange Editor?

I think the simplicity of editing PDFs was the best part of this for me. A lot of other software programs aren't as user friendly as this one. I'm not the most adept as using software but this one was simple to navigate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDF-XChange Editor?

If I had to choose one thing, it would be that I had difficulty adding watermarks. However I'm going to chalk that up to me getting frustrated with my documents Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
