Pdftools: 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.
