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 :)

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Managing pdf in an application doc workflow is often complex. You need a library where you can deliver the same tools as a user has on Adobe. Pdftools does this better than the key player in PDFs, which is crucial for my users.
  • Our product specialises on making it easy for our clients to convert a lot of file formats to PDF (eg. image, HTML, signatures). We introduced the Pdftools SDK about 2 years ago and since then, Pdftools is a valuable partner for us, hence this review.
  • PDF Tools has a good product and team. It just works and has been doing that for the past year for me.
  • Quick PDF libraries and easy to setup. Using the sign and secure functionality. Works well in Javascript and as shell tool.
  • Their SDK covers everything from text extraction to PDF manipulation. It's quick, even with bulky files, and the support documentation is great.

Cons

  • C'est très bon. Voila. What else can I say? From a technical point of view, there is nothing to mention as a con.
  • Nothing to complain about at the moment. It was easy to integrate into our projects and has been reliable for all this time.
  • I haven't encountered any yet. It's a proprietary SDK so you need to have some money available, but the price isn't insane compared to others.
  • Nothing yet - it is pretty much what I expected and a good solution overall.
  • There's a bit to climb in terms of the learning curve, given its rich features.
