About

At the heart of PDF Junction is a document processing engine capable of manipulating large volumes of PDF files to enable splitting, merging, setting of security, and other attributes. Convert batches of Word, Excel, and other files to PDF. Split PDFs by bookmarks, single pages, and ranges. Set PDF security and display options. Extract text and metadata from PDF documents. The Professional version of PDF Junction includes facilities to convert Microsoft Office and other documents to PDF. Batch processes can be defined using the GUI to create an XML Job Ticket file which can be run using the GUI, or using the command line. In addition, all options can be used from the command line without having used the GUI. The functionality of PDF Junction can be extended by using custom scripts which may be called at various points during the processing of a particular job. The custom scripts are Windows Script Files which allow scripting in either VBScript or Jscript.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Advertised as a really good pdf editor. The few times I used it, I enjoyed it. It does what the acrobat editor does at a much lower cost.
  • NONE. This system did not do what I purchased it for.=
  • N/A.
  • The graphics look and sound user friendly. The upside in my experience is that I now know I can convert a word to PDF without any additional programs by using Microsoft print to PDF.
  • It could make PDFs from images, although the customization was limited and the PDF I made turned out to be uneditable even with their own software.

Cons

  • Paid 99 dollars for the lifetime use of the pdf editor. It was a rip off. I used it for about a month and then they told me I had used it on a second device. That was not true. So the bottom line is I used the 99 dollar product 2-3 times, and that was all I could use it for. Bad purchase. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.
  • The Flattening option didn't work AT ALL, so I immediately tried to cancel and these people WILL NOT REFUND MY MONEY. This company is trying to force me to send them my personal laptop information and I absolutely REFUSE. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!!! BUY SEDJA INSTEAD.
  • Difficult user interface, couldn't merge files from a right click on the desktop.
  • It only looks and sounds user friendly. In actually it's worthless to me. I need to be able to convert a word doc to a JPG . First I tried converting to PDF and then used PDF to JPG. The conversions were not the same as the original. The tech support told me it was because I used the draw app. I did not use the draw app. Support said, in order to convert a word to pdf, I had to first use Microsoft print to PDF and then to use their PDF to PNG. What good is a PNG when there is no PNG to JPG option? In Adobe I could actually edit a PDF page i.e. remove text. It appears that is not a function of PDF Candy. If it is there, it's not an obvious method.
  • Expensive, missing the features it used to advertise the purchase to me, breaks when a file is too large despite every page saying that there are no limits on the desktop version. Sent a two sentence form letter and then did not follow up when I reported errors.
