I like that PDF-XChange Editor lets users password-protect their PDFs. This is especially useful in our firm when we send payslips, because it helps ensure no one else can open or view another employee’s confidential information. The document-editing features are also extremely helpful in a corporate setting, particularly for updating and refining client documents when changes are needed.

I feel that the editor’s interface looks quite dated, and it could be modernized to provide a better overall user experience. Also, when using the enhanced OCR plug-in, I didn’t like that it often fails to capture text accurately from scans. As a result, important information is sometimes added incorrectly in the document, which can be a hassle to fix and edit manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed of PDF-XChange Editor is something that really stands out. Even with large files, it doesn't take a long time to load or bloat my computer.

Apart from this, the configurable toolbar is really great. I've configured it such that my most often used tools, such as the measuring features and the OCR, are easily located. I can just use it with a single click rather than navigating menus (which saves a lot of time).

Having a one-time purchasing tool is also a great relief. I genuinely own the program. I don't feel like I'm being "rented" it.

It functions without having to worry about a monthly membership and is straightforward and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me personally, the UI is the main drawback. Although it is an acquired taste, many people like it. I think the options are cluttered to the point that it's easy to feel overwhelmed, and it feels somewhat outdated.

The fact that it is exclusive to Windows is another blocker for me. It feels a little restrictive because I can't utilize it when switching to a Mac or iPad.

Also, it's very simple to unintentionally use a "Pro" function without recognizing it, only to discover that a watermark has been put on the page. Lastly, I would like to add that some integrations can be buggy as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used PDF-XChange Editor for collaborating and creating annotations on drawings, and it was the best in the market. The main reason I used it was because of the smoothness and lightweight nature coupled with a powerful annotation bundle. I appreciate its ability to work well on budget computers. I also like the annotation bundle and the ability to add JavaScript tools. It was perfect for editing PDF files, allowing for perfect content editing without needing to use Doc or xlsx files. The initial setup was really easy, and if you've worked with other PDF tools before, you can easily adapt to this one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the UI could be improved. It's somehow old-fashioned. I think a modern design would be better. If there was a feature to add pattern fill to objects, it would be very useful. For example, a diagonal hatch for a rectangle instead of a solid fill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User adoption could be difficult. Need to create user acceptance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My experience with PDF-XChange Editor has been nothing less than satisfactory. It integrates directly with Outlook to send and manage documents without switching applications. Its toolset is powerful and versatile; in my day to day life, I need to review, edit and manage a wide variety of PDF documents and PDF-XChange delivers every time. I like its speed and ease of use; I can annotate documents, make quick edits and move between tools, as well as convert formats and even scan documents directly from the editor.

While there is always room for improvement in any tool, in this case it's difficult for me to point out relevant negative aspects. Its robustness, performance and functionality make it a tool that I would recommend without reservation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am trying to use Java Console and compared to Adobe PDF, it is not that friendly. In search if there could be an option to highlight different search wildcards with different colors, it would be very helpful for complex documentation checking. Comments resolution can be another feature like MS Word like if someone comments on the document, the next user can review and comment on it further with a chain traceability in same comment can can resolve or reject etc. the comment as well.
