As a daily user of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC for more than a decade, I was initially skeptical when an AI assistant recommended PDF-XChange Editor. However, after testing it alongside PDF-Tools, I have been pleasantly surprised.
The separation of editing and automation functions into two dedicated applications is an excellent design decision. Unlike Acrobat, where extensive actions can tie up the application, PDF-XChange allows batch processes to run independently while the editor remains available for productive work.
The inclusion of ABBYY FineReader OCR is another standout feature. The ability to perform OCR in multiple languages simultaneously is invaluable for my work with multilingual documents and dictionaries. In this area, PDF-XChange offers capabilities that are difficult to match.
The Folder Monitor deserves special mention. It has become part of my daily workflow and significantly improves efficiency through automation.
After extensive use, I have not identified any missing functionality that would prevent me from replacing Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. If PDF-XChange can be integrated seamlessly with my Windows Terminal Server and SharePoint environment, I see a realistic possibility of ending my Acrobat subscription and moving entirely to the PDF-XChange ecosystem.

Me gusta mucho, solo mejorar el proceso de seleccionar los textos, que realmente seleccione el enunciado y no los separe o tengamos que ir a otro icono e intentar a "ver" si ese si me selecciona bien y sobrescribir. Quisiera tener una experiencia como Word donde selecciones (o pones el curso en el texto) y escribes sin mas, gracias: 9/10

I love PDF-Xchange Editor!!! I was looking to upgrade my adobe X PDF pro since it was not supported in windows 11. Adobe new subscription model is ridiculous for my needs. PDF exchange offers a one time license for a extremely reasonable fee....even a great bargain compared to the other options out there. I was initially concerned about the interface but the pdf exchange had a try before you buy feature and the interface turned out to be great and very intuitive. It is a great, powerful product and I would highly recommend it!!

I had used various PDF programs.
Finally, by using "PDF-XChange Editor"—which offers a wide range of features—I was able to utilize the essential functions I needed.
I am very satisfied.

Great product! Powerful, fast, full-featured. I've use PDF-XChange Editor to view PDFs, view annotated PDFs, redact elements, OCR scanned documents, and search across multple PDFs within a file directory. Keep up the great work!

Programm funktioniert sehr gut und ist Adobe Acrobat überlegen. Ich würde mir eine einfacher Einfügung von Kommentaren wünschen ...

Es un programa muy facil de manejar, sencillo y muy potente para el trabajo que preciso hacer, como formularios, firma digital, etc.
Programa muy recomendable.

I like being able to edit and documents with all of the pertinent information at hand. I don’t care much for paper copies of manuals, so I maintain them as PDF files with contact information, model numbers, serial numbers, date of purchase, etc. added to the file.

PDF-Xchange is the best pdf software I've ever used, and I started with [another leading Application] in the late 90s. I love their editing tools, and their customer support is second-to-none.

So far I love the fact that the features available meet my needs at a much cheaper price than the pricier Adobe products. I'm still getting used to the user interface. Some functions have been a little hard to find (especially because I haven't spent tons of time reading through all the help articles) , but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Some of the terminology is a little new to me, which doesn't help.

Great product and great price. An excellent intuitive interface. When I scanned pages, it even rotated pages automtically so all were readable.

This will be the last PDF Editor you will ever have to buy. They've thought of everything!

I took a bit of time to work out all the different things I could do in PDF-XChange Editor, but now I am doing everything I needed to do and have spotted some more features I will be using later.
Glad I did my research and worked out there was another option than the big PDF company. Truly deserves a 5 star review.

PDF-XChange Editor is 1000 times better that what I was using. no crashing and plenty of really nice capabilities. I am wishing for a keyboard shortcut to set destinations for bookmarks. great work overall. thanks

PDF-XChange Editor is a powerful and well built PDF Editor. It is definitely complicated, and it is on the user to learn about functions, buttons and keyboard shortcuts. As you learn them, you will realize what a powerful product this is. It far exceeds Adobe, the dominant player in the space. I highly recommend this product.

Hi guys,
Thank you very much for making a wonderful product. It really is very helpful. It gives you so much control. You can use it as little as you want or you can really dive in deep and get full access to everything that you need. I love the model: you buy it, you own it, and then obviously you can pay for updates. I really hate the subscription model that the world has gone to. Hopefully more people can see that companies like you are there for the consumer.
Thanks for making a wonderful product.
All the very best,
Clint
