Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I liked the PDFChef until it did not work anymore. I think the video making part was ok, worked fine for low budget products.

Cons

  • I did not like that they tried to sell PDFChef again, by renaming it. Because the program does not work. I also dislike very much that after buying a lot of different Movavi progs with lifetime licence it just a joke. Every year they rename the programs, like Movavi Video Suite 22. Then that remove some bugs and add som other bugs, and rename the program to Movavi Video Suite 22, and Movavi Video Suite 24 and calls i different programs. And then you have to buy another lifetime licence every year 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But the biggest problem is that it's Russian.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Bringing a 20mb scan down to under 3mb without visible quality loss was impressive. The process ran fast and the output stayed readable across every page.
  • Encryption workflow is minimal: upload, set a password, choose print and edit permissions, download. No unnecessary screens or upsells between starting the process and getting a secured file back.
  • Custom page ranges with individual file naming kept everything organized from the start. Each output section opened cleanly, formatting held, and no content went missing at split boundaries across the entire document.
  • Fifteen product photos merged into one PDF with sharp resolution, correct ordering, and proper orientation on every page. Layout toggle between portrait and landscape handled mixed aspect ratios without cropping anything.
  • Highlighting and sticky notes render crisply without affecting page load times. Color coding works well for organizing feedback by category, and every markup exports exactly as placed when downloading the final version.

Cons

  • A compression strength selector with labeled presets would help users pick the right balance.
  • Expiring passwords or time-limited access would add flexibility for documents shared temporarily. Right now protection is permanent unless manually removed, which works but doesn't cover every sharing scenario cleanly.
  • A visual page picker where you click pages to define ranges would feel more intuitive than manual number entry. Counting pages on a 200-page document and typing ranges introduces avoidable room for human error.
  • Resolution presets labeled for specific use cases like "screen," "print," or "email" would make choosing output quality more intuitive than the current auto-setting, especially for users unfamiliar with DPI terminology.
  • Annotation search or filtering by type would help on heavily marked-up documents. Scrolling through forty pages to find a specific comment gets inefficient, especially when multiple reviewers have added their own notes.
