About

The smallest, fastest and most feature-rich free PDF viewer/editor on the market. Create, view, edit, annotate, OCR and digitally sign PDF files - and that's just the beginning. Please see below for a breakdown of the main features of PDF-XChange Editor. More than 70% of the features in PDF-XChange Editor do not require a license to use. The remaining features, which are clearly identified, will place a 'trial' watermark on output if they are used without a license. PDF-XChange Editor Plus includes additional functionality for the creation and editing of fillable forms, the creation of customizable dynamic stamps, and an Enhanced OCR plugin.

About

Every proposal, deck, or report you send can win or lose a deal, and PDFTrackr tells you how it landed. Share it as a secure tracked link and see who opened it, which pages they read, and where they stopped, with bots and email scanners filtered out of your counts so the numbers are real. The part worth paying for is Signals: instead of raw data, you see who came back, who's genuinely engaged, and who's worth a call right now, with a per-recipient verdict on whether a prospect actually read it and a real-time alert the moment they open. Follow up at the exact moment a buyer is interested, and close more deals. Built for sales teams, consultants, and agencies who sell with documents. Free is complete: 500MB, full page-by-page analytics, 12-month history, and virus scanning, no credit card. Pro ($9/month or $84/year) adds Signals, real-time alerts, per-recipient verdicts, CSV export, bulk personalized links, folders, versioning, and watermarking.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • PDF-XChange Pro offers excellent value for money, fast performance, powerful editing tools, OCR, custom stamps, digital signatures, and reliable handling of large technical PDF drawings.
  • This software is the gold standard for PDF edits, management, works. It’s all there and it’s no fuss, comes without fancy pictures and blinking images. It is fast and stuff is found where it should be, it is intuitive. I have been using it for 10 years and would always insist on it on every new machine.
  • A lot of features easy to use, reliable, acceptable license price for a self employed user as am I. Do mostly electronic signatures and compiling documents from various sources and formats into one final pdf document.
  • I use the PDF-XChange Editor only for the same editing features available in Acrobat Reader, so I can't provide a review of its PDF content editing capabilities. PDFX is far superior to Acrobat as well as the other PDF reader/editor apps that I tried for the features that I need. It has a complete set of tools, capabilities, and personalizations, and they are easy to customize. If anyone has ever tried to create a quick toolbar in Acrobat then you know how tedious it can be. You need to go through a tree structure about four times for EACH item that you want to add to the toolbar. Acrobat requires that you click on Comment in order to get the Comment toolbar at the top of the window every time that you open a file, but not PDFX. PDFX has a customizable ribbon and a customizable Quick Access toolbar that functions and looks like that of Word and Excel. Not Acrobat. In short, PDFX has a UI that will be familiar, standardize UI that you find in many programs, which Acrobat does not have.
  • This was honestly exactly what I needed to edit and create fillable PDFs. The price is nice low (compare to similar), and the support team is extremely good.

Cons

  • There is no dedicated angle measurement tool, but angles can still be measured indirectly using a workaround.
  • Some issues with the OCR function sometimes. No possibility to clip inserted images, this would be a great addition. Currently no possibility to cut from PDF except using a rectangle shape. Shapes should be flexible, and rotating cut (screen cut) shapes would be great.
  • I have not experienced any problems during many years of use, except for minor difficulties when reinstalling my PC, when, despite using a single license, I exceeded the permitted number of licenses, probably due to repeated reinstallations. However, technical support resolved this issue within minutes to my complete satisfaction.
  • I haven't found anything that I don't like in the three months or so that I have used it every day.
  • I didn't find any cons. I wish to have more features, but it's not a con.
