Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Very comprehensive set of APIs that allow the developer to create complex applications. The support has also been excellent.
  • A very high quality SDK for all things PDF. As I understand it, it's based on the same code that Adobe products (e.g. Acrobat) use for PDFs, with some additions. That makes it essentially the reference SDK for PDF. The included support can be very helpful. Can be used with C#, Java, and C++.
  • - It has one of the largest collections of PDFs. - There is a lot of variety for all the genres. - It has an easy and simple UI.
  • Adobe PDF library is a nice and fancy tool. It has a lot of options and choices to choose from. Recommended.
  • It makes it easy for managing documents. It offers files type conversion with a PDF reader. Very easy to use. Easy to create, edit documents and read large PDF files.

Cons

  • Because there are so many APIs, it takes a while to fully understand them and how they are used together.
  • It's for-pay closed-source software. Has a bit of a learning curve to get started, at least when used with C++. Probably not a good match for very small projects.
  • - The price of the software and PDFs is quite expensive.
  • I liked the platform so far. I don't have any cons as such.
  • It worked great for me. Nothing to share about cons.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Finding a decent PDF converter is hard as there are so many scammers out there. I have been able to amend, edit and process all the required PDF documents I needed using PDF extra without any issues or restrictions. It is truly an amazing resource and very user friendly. I can highly recommend this to anyone searching for a valuable resource to work with.
  • Easy to use and able to manage my documents good enough from the work that I needed for, with simple edits.
  • I like that I can use PDF Extra at work. It really helps to fill and edit documents with ease. The navigation is user friendly.
  • The ability to edit PDF’s on the fly from my phone. Then accessing the file remotely from online storage. There were some hiccups in the beginning, but I like using PDF Extra.
  • All of it, easy to use, quick to set-up and more functions than the free adobe but also a great alternative to the paid for version also.
  • I like the edit feature of Pdf because sometimes when your just filling in it only takes a certain size font and you can't change it to make everything fit but with the edit feature you can just add something like a text box and that way you can control the font and make sure everything fits on the line of a pre-filled document.
  • User-friendly is a huge PLUS as well as all the features. I have not explored them all yet. But so far I love working with it. My job is a remote position and I love the Stamps and Digital Signatures, as well as creating a Form. I am constantly having to create a form as I am in the Medical Administrative Field and PDF X makes it very easy and less time-consuming, which is a HUGE PLUS when a New Form is needed. And even if you have to Update an old form. Scan it, PDF X will recognize the text and you can RECREATE a brand new form that looks a lot more Professional. My next form will be using the QR feature to take payments. Scan the QR Code on your Statement and pay your bill!! I am almost finished with it. Can't wait until my Patients See this feature!!
  • Easy to use across devices, has almost unlimited functions, is simple and straightforward, and works fast.
  • I was able to use and edit pdfs on my phone and laptop without having to download the file each time I needed to switch between platforms.
  • The software is very easy to understand and use. Great for creating and editing. The document lock or security is highly recommended and useful.
