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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - Clean, minimal interface - Ability to work completely offline - Ability to view different layers of PDF documents
  • Only cross-platform PDF Editor. The functionality is good, and I would not hesitate to recommend the product if not for the stupid direction they are going under the new owner.
  • Feature-Rich: PDF Studio offers extensive PDF editing and annotation tools. User-Friendly Interface: The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. Robust Annotation Tools: Includes various tools for document review and collaboration.
  • Pencil feature - This works well on my surface pro. I can use the pen to draw and write comments on documents, and the marker to highlight text. Page resize - I have used this to resize from A4 to letter. As well as resizing the page, you can also scale the contents which is very handy! Redacting - I have used the redaction feature to cut sensitive information from documents. I was able to mark the areas to be redacted and then apply them in one hit. Works great!
  • It does everything you need from a Professional PDF Editor (like Adobe Pro DC) but without the stupid monthly subscription that places like Adobe would charge you.

Cons

  • - Small controls sometimes hard to see in bright daylight
  • The Apryse support department has gone downhill - they will not even test the product when a bug report is filed with an example file, insisting that the user jump through hoops including reinstalling the product and showing screenshots of what was done, even when there is only one way to do the thing described in the report. The new owner does not honour the perpetual licence conditions, which included free point release updates, and discounted annual upgrades, insisting that users go onto a more expensive subscription just to get what they already paid for. The user interface has regressed, replacing window decorations with their own and not picking up colours or settings from the selected theme and thereby losing integration with the system user interface, both visually and in the way the windows respond to user interaction.
  • Performance Issues: May struggle with large or complex PDF files. Support and Documentation: Less extensive support and documentation compared to Adobe. Not Open-Source: Requires a paid license and is not open-source.
  • Sometimes the 'Edit text' tool can be tricky, but I was able to find the content in the sidebar and edit it there. Also, I think the icon could perhaps be different.
  • It's not the prettiest UI in the world but I can live with that :)
