Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! This is the worst pdf editor I have ever used! After logging in a couple times, it actually seems more like a scam. I screwed up and let the free trial expire and they billed me $71.88. DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM. The one time I used it, I was compressing a .pdf file and it worked fine. I signed up for the one-week free trial. None. I can't say I like anything about PDF Live. They keep charging my bank account 3 months after I deactivated my account. None! There are no pros. In using PDF.live. It is ridiculously and stupidly designed!!! The only thing i'm finding it produces is anger and anxiety! Cons Impossible to edit and see what you are writing or place it in the correct place on a form. NO PASSWORD - you get sent a link every time you want to log into your account. WAY over priced for crap. I missed the cut-off to cancel by one day. I don't want to use this anymore. They answered my first email. Charging my bank account after deactivation. I deactivated my account about 3 months ago but I get notified every month that my bank account has been charged by PDF Live. I have severally tried to reach someone of their phone number provided online but don't cant get an real person to talk to, it takes me to a voicemail. They are a complete scam and I have reported them to my bank. I have a paid subscription to superteachers and PDF.live is terminally attached to it and won't let me simply print out my lessons! If I could recommend less than 1 as a recommendation for this product, I would!		Pros from Real Users Pros The best kind and fast service. in every inquiry I always receive a professional response. Great Tool! After evaluating several other replacements for our current PDF solution, RAD PDF is the best fit by a large margin. The architecture is a very close fit to our current solution and will require very little conversion. Support for signatures was a key feature we were looking for, and RAD PDF provides solid signature support.
