Given the AI boom that's currently taking place, we at PDF-XChange couldn't resist asking ChatGPT its views on PDF software. If you somehow haven't heard about ChatGPT, it's a chatbot and virtual assistant developed by OpenAI. It uses large language models to enable users to refine and steer a conversation towards a desired length, format, style, level of detail, and language. It's trained on a vast corpus of text data from a variety of sources including books, websites, articles, and other written material. This data spans a wide array of topics and includes both factual information and general knowledge. ChatGPT's responses aggregate and summarize this knowledge, which means it can be used to find prevailing views and opinions in online articles and reviews. So we thought it would be interesting to get the lowdown on PDF software, and here's what ChatGPT had to say:
PDF-XChange Staff: “What's the best value-for-money PDF software?”
ChatGPT: "There are several PDF editors known for their good value for money. Here are a few popular options:
Adobe Acrobat Pro DC: While it is one of the more expensive options, it offers a comprehensive set of features, including editing, converting, and collaboration tools.
Nitro PDF Pro: Nitro provides a robust set of editing tools at a more affordable price than Adobe, with a user-friendly interface.
Foxit PhantomPDF: Foxit is known for its lightweight software and offers a range of features similar to Adobe Acrobat at a lower cost.
PDF-XChange Editor: This is a cost-effective option with many features, including editing, annotating, and OCR capabilities.
When choosing a PDF editor, consider your specific needs, such as the features you require and whether you prefer a desktop or online solution. Always check for any free trials or versions before making a purchase."
PDF-XChange Staff: “Which one is best for a one time purchase?”
ChatGPT: "If you're looking for a PDF editor that allows for a one-time purchase rather than a subscription model, consider the following…
1. PDF-XChange Editor: This editor offers a free version with limited features, but the paid version can be purchased outright. It provides a good range of editing tools and is often praised for its performance and affordability…"
We were very pleased to see that we were ChatGPT's number one choice when it comes to being the best value for a one-time purchase. We do our utmost to combine functionality with affordability, and our “single-purchase, lifetime license” model has often resulted in our software topping review charts in a world where expensive monthly subscriptions have unfortunately become the norm. But please don't worry - we don't intend to change our business model any time soon, so you can continue to enjoy the excellent value that we offer for many years to come.
Kind regards,
The PDF-XChange team
