What do you like best about PDFlite?

It's free and it's super simple to download it and start using it. Easy to view and print. I've never converted with it but apparently it has that feature as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFlite?

When it installs it wants to install other programs as well so you have to make sure it doesn't. There's no way to edit PDFs that I've found. It's conversion is a one way conversion to PDF, it's unlikely that you would need this program if you have a way to view and print pdfs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PDFlite:

It seems unlikely in today's atmosphere that there is no other option for viewing PDFs, pretty much all internet browsers seem to have the option to view and print PDFs, but if there is no other option then this is a good solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PDFlite solving and how is that benefiting you?

Printing and viewing pdfs. I haven't personally realized any massive benefits of it if I'm being honest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PDFlite solving and how is that benefiting you?

A lot of the coworkers I have are from an older generation and need things converted from PDF to word. I often have to make things larger for readability and it has saved me from messing around with printer settings. you just convert the document and enlarge from word.

What do you like best about PDFlite?

It does one thing well and that is to convert files to and from PDF form. I like how its a simple and quick tool that is pretty intuitive to use so you don't need any sort of tutorial. I found this most useful for turning PDFs into Word documents on my Windows laptop. Best part is that it's free! Can also use it as a PDF viewer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFlite?

I dislike the user interface because it feels archaic which makes me think that they don't keep the software well updated. For viewing PDFs, I would prefer Adobe Reader over PDFlite due to it's more advanced and well-designed annotation tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PDFlite:

Great for windows users who need a PDF converter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PDFlite solving and how is that benefiting you?

It came in handy when I only had the basic version of Adobe Reader on my Windows laptop which didn't contain a PDF file converter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
