PDF-XChange Co Ltd

As someone who has been increasingly frustrated with Acrobat for the past ten years, I can’t say enough good things about PDF-XChange Editor Pro. From the licensing structure (PERPETUAL! THANK YOU!) to the GUI layout, I don’t miss a single thing about Acrobat. And the icing on the cake is the vast performance improvement I’ve experienced. If you open a lot of large PDFs (like CAD drawings, blueprints, or high-quality print files), you’ll notice an immediate improvement in loading speed. Searching, scrolling, editing: everything I’ve tried so far is faster. I also love the approach to AI. PDF-XChange isn't trying to be yet another subpar AI company. If you want AI, just plug in the model you already pay for. If not, enjoy the refreshing freedom from performance-hogging features you don’t need. If you mainly use Acrobat for viewing and editing PDFs and you’re sick of paying subscription fees for cloud and AI features you don’t use, download PDF-XChange and run them side by side for a while. I’m guessing you’re going to love it.

I am very pleased with this software. It allows me to work efficiently with various types of files, such as text documents, music, images, and more. I highly recommend it.

I have used Acrobat for years and do not like the newest version. I really like the menu setup of PDF_Xchange as it reminds me of microsoft word. It is very easy to use and I like it.

PRO: The functional ability of the platform is outstanding for the price. I have yet to experience a situation where it cannot do what I need it to do.

CON: The UI is awful. Because of the expansive functionality, the action bars are crowded and confusing. A complete overhaul of the UI or an elaborate help system is sorely needed. Without the use of AI directed questions, I would have spent hours trying to figure out even simple actions.

I've been on PDF-XChange Editor Plus for a little over three months as a one-time-purchase replacement for Adobe Pro. Every time I need to do something I assumed it couldn't handle (because Adobe made it painful), I find the tool and it just works — OCR, e-signing, merging, rearranging, and deleting pages included. It's fast, and I keep discovering useful features as I go. Hats off to the team.

Unschlagbares PDF-Tool zum Studienpreis!
Für das tägliche Arbeiten mit umfangreichen Skripten und Fachliteratur ist der PDF-XChange Editor ein echter Geheimtipp. Das Programm läuft selbst bei riesigen Dateien extrem schnell, bietet erstklassige Markier-, Notiz- und OCR-Funktionen und lässt teure Abo-Konkurrenz locker hinter sich. Die Oberfläche wirkt anfangs etwas vollgepackt, lässt sich aber schnell anpassen. Als Einmalkauf mit Studierendenrabatt ein absoluter Preis-Leistungs-Sieger – klare Empfehlung!

I've used the free version of PDF-XChange Editor for years but now that I started my own technical writing business, I needed the paid version. Mostly, I needed it for the ability to remove pages from a PDF, which it can do. I'll probably find other uses for it as time goes on. I've always liked the ability to mark up PDFs sent to me and to paste in my signature when I need to send signed documents. It beats having to print, sign, and scan into to a new PDF. Recently I was asked to review and edit a 100 page document. Adding lines, arrows, circles, and comments was a breeze.

The sales process was somewhat confusing, especially getting the license code, but I was able to work it out.

I still haven’t got used to the menus. It’s a bit of a struggle to get used to the buttons and the design, but I’m sure I’ll get there. Rather than paying a fortune to another company and being treated as a second-class user, I can get the same quality by paying you a fraction of that amount. What’s more, I’m working with a user-friendly company that takes me seriously and offers me discounts as soon as I prove I’m a teacher. Thank you.

I like the easy ui but dislike the old style look. It's ok.
I love the features and the type of lifetime license.
Continue delivering the best features.

Okay. Here we go. Good and the bad.
Good:
- lots of detailed options outclassing Adobe
- Microsoft ribbon interface. Good. Adobe interface. Bad.
- Floating Properties pane. Absolute delight. I like interfaces where I can take the panels and shove them onto another monitor.
- Tabs named after the Adobe tools names. Great way for those who used Adobe to convert to this superior interface.
- Easy glitch free way to switch between form and text without the annoying glitch Adobe sometimes displays. It chokes at times.
Bad:
- lots of detailed options outclassing Adobe. Yup. Bad, too, because the detail frightens my colleagues who just want to extract, rotate, and save pages. I am a power PDF guru so I love the detail.
- PDF-XChange has issues dealing with individual lines. The editor selects a block of lines and text, which is not always a logical block. This, however, only affect people like me who make pages each with form field numbering close to one hundred per page. Subtle line adjustments are a necessity. Adobe does do better on this.

I hope that helps.

So far, it's been a great product! One of the biggest improvements over our previous PDF editor is the support forum and knowledge base. I've been able to find answers to almost every question or issue within just a few clicks.

I've only encountered one issue with page rendering, and the forums confirmed it's a known issue that the developers are working to fix in the next release. It's good to see issues being acknowledged and actively addressed.

The one improvement I'd like to see is the ability to configure shell integration settings using XCShInfoSetup.exe in the command line. Adding command-line switches to automatically apply specific settings would make deployment and management much easier and could be scripted to run instead of manually checking the boxes.

License deployment has also been significantly simpler than with our previous editor, which is a big plus from an IT administration standpoint.

Overall, the transition has been smooth, and I'm very happy with the product, documentation, and support.

I have used PDf-Xchange Editor for ten years. Very satisfied. Although my needs a few I stay with them because of the outstanding support.
