It has all you need for work, editing and manipulating PDF document. Thumbnails allows right click for several advance functionalities - insert page, rotate pages or even rotate just your odd or even pages. Bookmarking is made easy with this software, just copy and convert a title into bookmarks. The price is low for such an advance and most useful software. You pay once and you own it. > > **Cons**: I wish the OCR was included for the price, but you have to pay as an add on. The OCR is not the best in most cases, however, you can overcome this by using searchable pdf. > > In today's business environment, the new paper is named PDF. TO work with the new paper you need the new type tools. PDF exchange is your tool,. I love it. ----- ### "There IS an alternative to Adobe Acrobat\!" — 5.0/5 > **Patrick** | *October 8, 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The feature that probably won me over to PDF-XChange (and led me successively from the free version to the PRO version) is manipulating PDFs: adding pages, removing pages, reordering pages, rotating pages, etc. Another feature that I use quite a bit is the stamp, which I use to insert my signature into documents. However, I could go on and on about other features of the application. > > **Cons**: On a few rare occasions I have encountered issues with "special" or out-of-the-ordinary printing. When this occurs, I typically revert to Adobe Acrobat Reader. However, PDF-XChange makes this very easy with the 'Launch' button that appears in the lower right-hand corner. So, PDF-XChange is helping me indirectly in a situation where it may not be able to help me directly. > > We save a lot of our documents (invoices, receipts, statements, etc.) in PDF format. PDF-XChange just makes the process of working with PDFs simple and efficient. At one point I worked at a temporary job where I was not able to install PDF-XChange on my computer. I really felt the absence of PDF-XChange during that time (and when it was over, one of the things that I was excited about was being able to use it once again). ----- ### "Good, but some improve is needed to edit funcionality" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *July 29, 2019* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use and intuitive interface make this software accessible for users at any level. Well organized top ribbon with few well grouped buttons allow to navigate among functions, and let users easily add/edit elements on their pdf documents, with an overall word processor feeling. > > **Cons**: Some negative aspects are related to the edit function. In several cases, the software tends to change the original font in a specific chunk of text (ie: if you want to add a letter in a mistyped word), and even if the typography appears good and consistent during the editing session, it loses consistency as soon as you save it. Someway the software replaces the original typography with a new one. > > PDF-XChange allows to quickly process pdf's without the need to gather the source it comes from. Extremely useful in today's work environments where production and transmission of digital documents represent a relevant part of daily activity (ie: invoicing / orders / brochures). Some annoying aspects affect the software reliability (typography consistency) and decrease productivity, but after some practice and experience, they can be easily handled with some workaround. ----- ### "Easy to use and far better value and ROI than other products" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *January 13, 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The application is lightweight and runs fast.Very good value for the moneyEasy to use and option are like office products, so easy for users to work withDeployment of software is easy > > **Cons**: Nothing so far, the product does everything I ask of it without issues. Its loads and works faster than other products > > This product is excellent, the ROI is amazing, it so cheap I can push out a editor licence to more users and still save money ----- ### "Pdf-XChange" — 5.0/5 > **Cinzia** | *October 24, 2019* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software is easy even if you are doing your first steps in the IT world. You can manage a lot of different format files, as pdf, jpg, etc.; configure it as your scanner, in order to save single or multiple pages document. > > **Cons**: PDF X-Change is often updated with new features and smart layout > > With PDF-XChange you can compose your file document as you like. It is possible to extract pages, to paste in another pdf, to overwrite contents, to add your comments and really a lot of other infinitely useful features if you work a lot with documents and pdf ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2077124/pdf-xchange?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2077124/pdf-xchange) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
