Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It’s fast, intuitive, and handles large datasets in PDFs smoothly, i can search, annotate, and extract tables efficiently. it has all the tools i need for my work. The interface is clean and professional, which I appreciate for work purposes.
  • Actually, I use it to edit my resume and make some fillable forms (yeah, my work requires all sort of forms). It is easy and fast to do my jobs. Of course, there are many other useful features for me, take notes, add page numbers, change background, etc.
  • Intuitive and aesthetic interface. All-in-one tools for viewing and editing PDFs. Helpful and responsive customer support.
  • No pros. It lacks so many features. I used it, cancelled the free trial membership at the same day because I couldn’t edit a single document with the help of it. But they still charged me $50 American dollars.

Cons

  • Sometimes OCR accuracy isn’t perfect with scanned documents, and several advanced features feel a bit hidden in menus.
  • When I import an image into the program, it always prompt me to save the image as a new PDF file before making any modification. This annoys me.
  • Limited experience with advanced features so far, needs time to test.
  • It lacks so many features.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Can't think of a better tool for this simple purpose of merging. There's an equally useful looking splitter function that I haven't used for a long time.
  • PDFsam is okay to edit files as long as standards compliance is not a priority. The edit features work fine.
  • It's like any other PDF software on the market. You need to pay a premium for electronic signatures and editing of all things.
  • -Very intuitive interface -It's very quick and easy to split or merge PDFs -No ads on the free version, they don't push for premium
  • Free and open source. Merge PDF files together. Split PDF file or extract pages. Multi platform availability.

Cons

  • Worried it'll convert itself into a subscription based app.
  • It is impossible to print properly. As an example, duplex printing just does not work, and PDFsam manages to mess this somehow by taking control of the print driver even if the printer is hard-set to duplex printing. The only working solution I found is to use a different program to print the pdf after editing it with PDFsam.
  • Buying a license is an absolute nightmare. They claim the license is $19.99 lifetime and as soon as you pay it turns into a subscription of $100 a year, no refunds. They start to add additional services randomly, and charge you, No customer service, I had to get my bank to put a stop payment, I had selected a basic plan and they had tacked on additional plans without my approval.
  • There are honestly no cons for me, PDFSam does what it must. It would be great if the converter tool would also be free, but I understand they have to make money somehow with premium.
  • No editing or conversion feature - available in PDFsam enhanced which is paid.
