PDFgear Reviews & Product Details

It's free. Among the "free" PDF apps this is probably the best, because it's lightweight, you don't need to worry about ads, and it has a lot of common features people want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been told that you can edit and add signatures to PDF documents using PDFgear, but I was never able to find a way to do it.

If it was possible and EASY to add signatures to PDF documents using this app it could replace a lot of paid licenses for Adobe Acrobat Pro.

All the people used to Acrobat in a professional environment simply could not figure out how to do their work functions using this app, and I was unable to figure it out either to help them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been working with Acrobat and PDF files since the mid-1990s. While I don’t use them daily, every time I do, it’s been a hassle—tools that used to be free now demand payment, others are bloated or missing the features I actually need.

PDF Gear is a breath of fresh air. It’s intuitive, reliable, and gets the job done without friction. The UI is clean, the functionality is solid, and I didn’t have to jump through hoops to complete my task.

I haven’t felt this genuinely grateful to discover a utility in years. If you’re tired of the PDF shuffle, this one’s worth your time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None that I have found, other than I didn't find it 20 years ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about PDFgear is how quick and easy it is to use. It lets me edit, convert, and work with PDFs without any hassle, and the tools are straightforward. It just makes handling PDFs a lot simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about PDFgear is that some advanced tools can feel limited, and occasionally the interface isn’t as smooth as it could be. A few features take extra steps, which can slow things down a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PDFgear is the perfect solution for anyone who needs to edit PDF files quickly and efficiently. With just one tool, you can delete pages, insert new ones, rotate documents, and even fill out forms — all in a seamless workflow. What makes it even better is that it’s completely free, without compromising on functionality or ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One limitation I noticed is the lack of a digital signature feature. This functionality is available in the free version of the leading PDF reader, and its absence in PDFgear can be a drawback for users who need to sign documents securely and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wanted to Convert multiple files to word. Each document had 30 to 40 pages. Pdf Gear did it for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was unable to convert an pdf using OCR once.

Actually it converted the pdf to word but with images of the text, not in actual text format Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I only installed it because I needed to make a small change to a document, but I discovered a whole new world inside it! PDFgear is full of features that I didn't realise were possible with PDFs. I'm already hooked. They've certainly found a new aficionado! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, at the moment. The software is simple and easy to use. I haven't tested all the features yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been looking for something like this for quite a while, and I’m pleased to say it’s not only extremely easy to use, but also a completely free PDF tool. It goes beyond being just a reader, offering all the features and extras I could want. It was also very quick easy to download and instal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to edit documents without limitations, it is easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No dislikes so far, I'm still new to the app, so if I find anything I do not like, I will update Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Works like a charm! Packed with functions that usually are just for premium subscriptions. Planning to spread the word! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For what I require, I see no flaws! I like it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excellent app

I originally used Microsoft Edge because all my work with pdfs involved only reading them but now that i have to edit them also so searched for alternatives and came across a reddit post about this app, tried it and this is awesome.

There are so features like convert to / from a pdf which i used to do on a website but having an app is what i prefer so this awesome .I use it daily and it is very easy to use. Didnt had any need to use customer support so I cant comment on that. It was very to install just straight forward.

Keep up the good work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing i can complain about is that i don't it has dark mode (either that or i am not able to find it). Like that is the only thing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
