"CutePDF for creating custom PDFs"

5/5

What do you like best about CutePDF?

CutePDF makes−easy to setup a hierarchical structure using bookmarks to organize my large documents into easy−to−browse sections. I like that allows me to adjust page dimensions for either printing or viewing, combine overlapping pages to integrate my custom backgrounds and I can upload files directly to a server.

I don't find any outstanding negative aspects, CutePDF has a complete and well−designed set of functionalities and has protection to safeguard important documents by restricting unauthorized access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike about it is that sometimes it doesn't have a very good layout or design and it's not very intuitive, but once you learn where everything is, then it's easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CutePDF?

I love that I can edit and create PDFs for free! It has all of the functionality that I need to adjust documents - take out pages, add pages, reorder, etc. I can also create PDFs in seconds. You can edit PDFs directly in the web browser - super convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cute PDF"

5/5

What do you like best about CutePDF?

It is used to create pdf documents from Revit, AutoCAD, and other BIM software. The best thing about using this PDF writer is that it is time-saving and better than PDF XChange Viewer. It can easily create PDFs of very large GBP files in a very short period of time. In urgent submissions, I am using this writer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CutePDF?

The disadvantage of using this while creating a PDF document is that it can't access the location sometimes, or it can take time to access the location, so first the PDF is created on the desktop and then copied and pasted into the respective location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
