"Just like word but better"

4/5

What do you like best about AbleWord?

What do you dislike about AbleWord?

It can take longer than you would expect to load files but the final product is worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very good text editor for PDF"

5/5

What do you like best about AbleWord?

Simple text processor that allows reading and writing about text formats, but its main feature is the ability to edit on PDF. It is a free program with a very good compatibility with the different formats shown in the text. I can also convert PDF to Word documents in just a few clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AbleWord?

It has not been updated since March 2015, because of this, AbleWord has a slightly outdated design and does not adapt to new trends. It has very basic functionalities, mainly based on text editing. There are not many more options about creating new figures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AbleWord:

It is a great tool and highly recommended only for text editing. The latter should be taken into consideration if you are very interested in editing PDF, otherwise, it is preferable to search through the multitude of options offered, which have more features, although not all are free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AbleWord solving and how is that benefiting you?

This editor is very easy to use, it has given me excellent results and when I edit PDFs I feel that I am editing a .doc or .txt file. It is vital for the creation of documents and those who constantly work with PDF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many other word processors and pdf editors available online so I believe Ableword should develop a unique feature for its users to standout of the crowd. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AbleWord:

I would for sure recommend this software to anyone looking for a capable word processing application that can read and write most popular document formats including PDF's (best of all it is totally free even for commercial use!). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AbleWord solving and how is that benefiting you?
