PDF-XChange is a comprehensive replacement for Adobe Acrobat. It supports the advanced PDF features our non-profit relies upon, such as forms, scripting, and document signing. The company was very responsive to questions, and replied to our request for a discount code promptly and positively. Installation was a breeze, license distribution was seamless for most users, and user experience has been positive to date.

If you are seeking a full-featured Acrobat alternative that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, try PDF-XChange Editor - you will be pleasantly surprised!

LOVE this editor! WAY better than Adobe and easy to understand and navigate. I've been using the free version for about 5 years, and decided to go to the paid version because I needed more things for my job. I use this editor daily in my job. It's great with extracting pages from documents! I LOVE the Stamp tool. I can create my signature, and use it as a stamp on all my signed documents. I cannot praise this program enough. Well worth the money, and it's actually cheaper than if you paid for Adobe.

This is a very good program. It works with 10-20 PDF documents open at once, and still performs well, unlike Adobe or Wondershare. Lots of features. The extract pages option could be improved. Great OCR option. A good purchase. I recommend it. Very reasonable price.

A blazing-fast PDF program, packed with features, lightning-fast customer support, a perpetual license, constant updates, and, most importantly, the ability to add any new features you'd like to see directly into the PDF program to improve it: I recommend it 100%! Thanks, and keep up the good work!

I recently purchased a license to PDF-XChange PRO and have started using it. Previously, I used (another PDF Application). My reason for switching is that (other PDF Application) no longer provides perpetual licenses for their software while PDF-XChange PRO does provide a perpetual license. I am still in the early phase of getting to know PDF-XChange PRO and my early impressions are quite positive. I find the software easy to use and it has many features that I find very useful (as I did with (Previous PDF Application)). I'm a happy customer and look forward to getting to know the software better as I continue to use it. Based on my initial impressions, if anyone is looking to switch from (other PDF Application), definitely give PDF-XChange PRO consideration as a very viable alternative.

I am retired. I started using PDF-XChange Editor during my career in mainframe OS development. As I retiree, I still use the product. I mainly use it to (1) maintain my collection of PDF documents, and (2) add my notes/hints to users manuals for devices we have.

I find it to be an easily understandable product, and an easily configurable product (I have modified the main ribbon to match my usage habits with the product).

I never do reviews of software, but I am so impressed with this software I feel I owe a review! I purchased the Plus version. It is SOOOO much better than Adobe Acrobat Professional, which my workplace provided for free but which caused me endless frustration. PDF-XChange Plus has everything I want, and works exactly as I would want it to. So nice to use really well produced software!

I'd been exploring options to get away from Adobe for some time (don't like the subscription model, don't like all the ads and nags in Reader to trade up), had tried PDF-XChange, and had decided that was the one for me. The interface felt comfortable and familiar, the program offered everything I normally needed (and more), and it was quick and responsive. Pre-purchase queries with the company were very quickly and pleasantly responded to (by a real person rather than getting half-answers from a bot!). The program continues to live up to expectations. Criticisms so far? Yes, I'd like the page-counter numbers at the foot of the screen to be a little bigger and much clearer and I'd like the "Find" box to be a bit clearer (I'm using a 4K display). Anything I miss? Just one thing, and only occasionally, and that's Adobe's "Convert web-site/page to pdf complete with links" facility (but then I don't think any of the other pdf programs offers that).

I've been using PDF-XChange Editor now for about 2 weeks, and I must say that I'm very impressed with the plethora of features available! I have to code a lot of PDF documents, and my process has been made much simpler with the "stamps" I can use and easily add text for additional information that's needed. I've also had to extract pages, move pages, insert pages and reorder pages, and all the functions worked very well. The best feature is that this software is not subscription-based, which I really appreciate. For those who need a PDF document editor, I would highly recommend PDF-XChange Editor - it's exceed all my expectations!

Review: PDF-XChange Editor
PDF-XChange Editor stands out as a genuinely superior tool in the crowded field of PDF editors. It is an exceptionally fast program that combines robust functionality with highly reliable performance.

Key Strengths & Standout Features
Best-in-Class Bookmarking: The application features the best bookmark organizer I have encountered. The reliable bookmarking workflow was a significant factor in my decision to purchase the program after the initial demo.

Comprehensive Toolset: Essential features are intuitively placed and within reach. The Editor efficiently handles key tasks, including converting PDFs to images, creating new PDFs, and combining multiple PDF documents.

Superb Optical Character Recognition (OCR): The OCR engine is highly accurate. Critically, the output quality and results consistently surpass those of other PDF editors I have tested.

Advanced Image Handling: A powerful feature is the ability to read and render iPhone HEIC pictures (converting them to JPEG), which is a compatibility gap my other PDF editors failed to bridge. Furthermore, the program excels at improving document scans by brightening the paper and efficiently cleaning up specks and artifacts.

Speed and Intuition: The program is consistently fast, and the menus are easily accessible and intuitive to navigate.

Areas for Future Improvement
While highly recommended, future updates could focus on enhancing a few key areas:

Image Correction: Improving the tools for straightening pictures of documents taken with a phone camera.

Text Fidelity: Further optimizing the algorithms for even more accurate text quality in processed documents.

UI/UX: A refresh of the User Interface (UI) aesthetic to modernize the look and feel.

Verdict
I highly recommend PDF-XChange Editor. For users who require reliable bookmarking, high-quality OCR, and a comprehensive set of accessible PDF manipulation tools, this program offers unmatched quality and performance.
