About

pdfRest is a developer PDF API with 40+ endpoints for conversion, extraction, and document manipulation. Convert to and from PDF (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, PDF/A, PDF/X). Merge, split, compress, and linearize. Extract text, images, and metadata. Add OCR to scanned documents. Watermark, encrypt, decrypt, restrict, and redact. Fill, flatten, import, and export form data. Requests are chainable, so multi-step document pipelines run in sequence without shuttling files back and forth between calls. What sets pdfRest apart in the PDF API space is deployment flexibility. Most PDF APIs are cloud-only. pdfRest ships three ways: Cloud, Container and AWS Marketplace. For teams running an evaluation: pdfRest is SOC 2 Type 2 audited and supports GDPR and HIPAA requirements. The Container deployment is the strongest fit for regulated workloads, specifically because processing happens entirely inside your own environment.

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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The team at PDFrest is incredibly helpful — they respond quickly, clearly, and even took individual feature requests into account without delay. The API itself is fast, user-friendly, and well-documented. A solid, reliable partner to work with.
  • pdfRest is surely a business oriented PDF converter because it can convert all sorts of files, small and large, landscape or portrait, into splendid and crisp PDFs for all purposes.
  • It is the best documentation tool in the market for creating, editing and converting office suite documents into PDF. Really liked its simple to use procedures.
  • With pdfRest I am assured that all my word, excel and presentation files can be easily converted to PDF without migrating to other softwares. Really a reliable software with comprehensive features.
  • It is an excellent PDF conversion tool that offers a wide range of features and functionality. The platform provides a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to convert PDF files to various formats such as Word, Excel, and HTML. Additionally, PDFRest offers a robust API that allows users to seamlessly integrate PDF functionalities into their applications. One of the standout features of PDFRest is its conversion speed. The platform can convert large PDF files quickly and accurately, saving users valuable time and effort.

Cons

  • The team at PDFrest is incredibly helpful — they respond quickly, clearly, and even took individual feature requests into account without delay. The API itself is fast, user-friendly, and well-documented. A solid, reliable partner to work with.
  • Multiple file upload options is missing or I didn't find the option, either ways would appreciate some guidance.
  • I do not have complaints at the moment with regards to execution of the tool or its processes.
  • OCR feature could have been a lovely add. I hope the makers add this feature soon.
  • One area where the platform falls short is in its limited language support. PDFRest currently only supports English, which can be a significant limitation for users.
