Apryse PDF SDK Reviews & Product Details

I like that Apryse PDF SDK has very good features, especially when we use it with PDF files. It was easy to set up because everything was well documented. I found Apryse better than using Flexpaper because we can directly view PDF files instead of viewing images of each page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it should handle documents which have a mix of portrait and landscape pages in a better way. Right now if we have mixed-size pages document, and we do fit width on a portrait page, then it shows a horizontal scroll because there are landscape pages as well in the document.

I like that Apryse PDF SDK basically works for our needs. It allows us to fill template strings, which is a crucial part of our workflow. It also lets us use a DocX template instead of an HTML template, which I find more intuitive for our users. Additionally, the ability for our customers to generate letters and forms for themselves, and for us to populate them with data, makes this SDK valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the initial setup process for Apryse PDF SDK; it was a little rough. We tried to work through issues with the Apryse team, and it seemed like a lot of times they didn't understand what we were asking for. The problems are more with the Apryse web viewer editor. Also, the customer support could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really think their support is very good, maintaining open communication whenever we encounter issues. The functionality of Apryse PDF SDK works just as expected and is basically everything we need for displaying PDF files and images, including basic viewing functionalities like zoom and comparison. Also, it supports different file types and optimizes files for slower connections. The interface is very familiar, much like Adobe or Microsoft Preview, making it easy for users to handle PDFs as expected. We rarely have issues, but if we do, they are resolved promptly with good communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite feature is the ability to incorporate personalized PDF functionalities within the internal systems with minimal disruptions to the user workflow. Apryse is constantly used to create and alter reports in real time. It has proved to be reliable with massive, complex, annotated, and data rich documents. Manual PDF edits, external applications, and other tools have been eliminated due to the programmatic control. It is a great feeling to have a PDF engineered resource that works exactly in the way that is needed and meets the expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found the initial setup daunting and overwhelming. The documentation is thorough, but I found ‘which parts’ I needed and how they fit a puzzling so splitting documentation into smaller parts would be useful. Advanced features are a trial and error process so there is a degree of comfort before getting productive and people could use error messages a bit clearer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite capability of the Apryse PDF SDK is its ability to automate document workflows within internal applications: merging pdfs, appending e signature fields, and text retrieval for report generation and other timely tasks. Ever since the applications and workflows have been automated, there is no need to manage different formats of PDF documents emerging from various users. It has been quite a while since I have encountered issues like inconsistent formatting of documents or PDF files breaking. Personally, I consider it the most seamless pdf automation application of internal business processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The volume of documentation at time resembles a cluttered bookshelf where one has to sift through an exhaustive array of classes and methods just to find the most relevant example. I’ve run into problems with pdf files that did not render the way I expected and had to troubleshoot. The pdf sdk software support for business processes is decent, especially, when one is trying to figure out the most simplified suggestions suitable for small enterprises.

What I like the most about Apryse PDF SDK is that it is very rich in features and very reliable. I've tried using libraries by Syncfusion PDF viewer or open-source using PDF.js; however, Apryse on every occasion feels snappier and more elegant and is just easier to work with. Along with the code samples, the documentation is at least good, besides they feel solid, obviously because of not writing much we get through our way out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My main problem with it is that licensing is inflexible and sometimes expensive, especially when I need only a portion of the SDK for a particular project. Periodic updates bring in breaking changes, demanding more time to debug. Also, even though many of the examples are helpful, I have hit upon sample code that was not entirely current, a thorn in the side when time is of the essence.

The ease of interacting with PDFs and contracts in the Apryse PDF SDK is the most lovable part. Uploading files, appending fields, and dispatching them are executed very fast, which spares a second thought for the recipient’s tech savviness because everybody gets it. Those templates save me from rewriting the very agreements time and again, so that has been really doubling my speed. Not just that, signed contracts hit my CRM, and billing systems receive integrations automatically, which kind of keeps everything in place and professional.

My biggest concerns lie with the mobile experience, which does not always replicate the level of intuitiveness one finds when working on the desktop and can inadvertently misplace fields. Further, more than once, I have been stuck at the part of editing a document post-signatures, where “editing” changes would just have me restart instead of a small adjustment within a few clicks. Improvement opportunities for Apryse versus alternatives like Docusign would be in enhancing live support and better nonprofit discounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that I really like about Apryse PDF SDK is its flexibility to edit. It seems there is nothing that I can’t do with a PDF hence the reason it performs great. The conversion of files to Microsoft Office formats is smooth – I’ve been using it for years now and never faced any major issues. This is also beneficial because it supports multiple platforms and makes it easier for the user to use since one could be using different devices in a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I really wish Apryse had was that it didn’t combine multiple PDFs into one file—I do that often with other tools like Adobe Acrobat. Once in a while, the formats become messy after editing, particularly in PDFs holding many tables or embedded figures. That said, while this has only happened a few times, the app has actually crashed on me a couple of times during a session, which does not bode well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All in all, what sold me on Apryse PDF SDK was how much it just works - without weird formatting issues, without a clunky UI, and without constantly having to switch between apps to get the most basic tasks done. I’m not that technical, but I was able to make a flow wherein contracts could get signed, edited, and sent out within minutes without chasing anyone and converting files five times. And then I even found myself using it for quick edits over Google Docs - something I never thought I’d say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish they would have been more upfront with pricing. When I first saw it, my reaction was it was free, only to start loading and then hit me with the limitations unless you subscribe. And while I understand the security of it all, having to log in just to save a doc when I’m running between meetings is a little bit annoying. For smaller teams like us, it’s a little bit over what we pay for to be kind of using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Apryse PDF SDK has been incredibly reliable in our .NET Core application. It integrates smoothly and allows us to generate professional documents entirely through code. One of the best features is its excellent Unicode support — we’ve been able to create PDFs that include Arabic, Russian, Chinese, and other languages without any formatting or rendering issues. The SDK is fast, stable, and consistently produces high-quality PDFs, which has made it a core part of our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there isn’t much to dislike. The documentation could be a bit more detailed in certain advanced scenarios, but overall, the product works exactly as promised and has exceeded our expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
