Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Can't think of a better tool for this simple purpose of merging. There's an equally useful looking splitter function that I haven't used for a long time.
  • PDFsam is okay to edit files as long as standards compliance is not a priority. The edit features work fine.
  • It's like any other PDF software on the market. You need to pay a premium for electronic signatures and editing of all things.
  • -Very intuitive interface -It's very quick and easy to split or merge PDFs -No ads on the free version, they don't push for premium
  • Free and open source. Merge PDF files together. Split PDF file or extract pages. Multi platform availability.

Cons

  • Worried it'll convert itself into a subscription based app.
  • It is impossible to print properly. As an example, duplex printing just does not work, and PDFsam manages to mess this somehow by taking control of the print driver even if the printer is hard-set to duplex printing. The only working solution I found is to use a different program to print the pdf after editing it with PDFsam.
  • Buying a license is an absolute nightmare. They claim the license is $19.99 lifetime and as soon as you pay it turns into a subscription of $100 a year, no refunds. They start to add additional services randomly, and charge you, No customer service, I had to get my bank to put a stop payment, I had selected a basic plan and they had tacked on additional plans without my approval.
  • There are honestly no cons for me, PDFSam does what it must. It would be great if the converter tool would also be free, but I understand they have to make money somehow with premium.
  • No editing or conversion feature - available in PDFsam enhanced which is paid.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Lots of good features, that usually are part of more premium or expensive options in competitive products: forms, e-signing and document manipulation. Great compatibility and supportability for different PDF formats,
  • What sets SwifDoo PDF apart is not just the range of PDF tools but the team’s responsiveness to user suggestions. Features like password protection, text editing, annotation, and format conversion work smoothly. The software is regularly updated and keeps improving based on real user input.
  • SwifDoo PDF offers a clean and user-friendly interface that makes PDF editing and conversion simple. It supports OCR, merging, compressing, and digital signing—all in one place. The installation is quick and doesn’t consume heavy system resources, which is great for older computers. Their customer support is also responsive and open to user feedback.
  • Features like drag-and-drop functionality and clear toolbars contribute to a seamless user experience.
  • The support staff demonstrates a commitment to user satisfaction, enhancing the overall experience with the software.

Cons

  • The user interface is a bit outdated, quite unstable to work with, specially with bigger PDF documents, crashing many times when opening or working in these, making it unreliable for business use. Customer Support is completelly obliviated from customer reality, lacking in helpfulness and big relliance on "reinstall and try again".
  • Limited cloud integration options compared to some competitors. It would be nice to see direct integration with Google Drive or Dropbox in future updates.
  • The free version has some limitations on features, which may require upgrading for more advanced use cases. A mobile version would be helpful for on-the-go users.
  • Advanced users might find the customization options somewhat limited compared to other PDF editors.
  • Availability of support could be expanded to cover more time zones for global users.
