PDFelement Reviews

The interface is a slick as it gets. Very intuitive and clean. I can hardly believe it is so pleasurable to use. Good software community forums will almost always find an answer to any questions you may have. Support was within usual norms. I did not try calling support - just email.

Lacking in really good documentation. You will need to set up your own previewer for Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Explorer. While there is a solution to this, they refuse to acknowledge it, and removed it from their blog (marked as spam) because it mentions a competitors product. When the inquiry was sent to their email support, they did not recommend the solution either just saying it is not supported. I had to find it on my own. Initially, I had removed my Adobe and had to reinstall it and make a tweak to the settings so that I could view PDF's from within those programs. I'm not sure what to do with those html files. I guess you have to put them on a server and link to them but it doesn't really tell you.

Great Value compared to other platforms. Ease of use along with regular how to blogs and videos that are sent out by the company. It saves me a ton of time being able to make a simple change to the many real estate forms and brochures where I would otherwise have to start over. I think the program has improved since I first bought the lifetime option about 2+ years ago. I am glad I did so. I use their Filmora Pro for my video editing which is how I found out about this alternative to the much more expensive and harder to use Adobe program.

It can sometime be a little slow to load when you have a brochure that has a large number of high resolution photos.

This software is a great alternative for anyone that is looking to function with .pdf files. The Adobe suite keeps creaping up in price and this software works very well as a functional alternative!

I haven't found any items that I dislike. So far it has been working great.

The first thing that attracts you about PDFelement is the GUI.
It is very beautiful to the eyes and clean and well-organized.

But more than that, it is so simple to use, coming with almost all the PDF solutions and features you would need.

Definitely a 5/5 since I have been using it from quite long, and it has never disappointed.

And yes, by lighter I mean the system memory it uses, and the setup file being clean and not bundled with bloatwares, etc..

I just wish it was portable too, and had a lifetime with free upgrades subscription also.

PDFelement provides the best ability to create fillable forms that I have found. I use it all the time to facilitate data entry and collection.

I feel the learning curve could be a bit less steep.

Great alternative to products such as Adobe Acrobat. More flexibility in terms of licensing in that you can buy a perpetual license and month to month licensing is also way more cost effective for a medium size enterprise.
User interface is easy to navigate and I can perform all the functions required to manage PDF documents.

The teams management portal can do with a revamp. It is not that easy to assign and move team members

Ability to edit pdf forms easily, prepare for signing. Highlighting areas to be signed, initialed, etc is easy to do. Like the sticky note feature when additional explanation is needed.

Top of page with the various options and icons - it is difficult to read the dark printing under the icons. Not sure if this is due to settings on my computer.

Easy to use. protect document for email sharing

difficult to re-install on new devices. key do not work readily.

Really easy interface to be able to edit pdf on the fly. I usually edit my pdfs so that they can be editable through a tablet and this program has everything i need. It does come with a payed version to remove the watermark, but all features come free with the donwload. Its as easy as getting your pdf and exporting itinto PDF Element and beggin editing. You can also view you pdf. Really good alterantive vrs other products that offer the same but on a more expensive price

Not much to complain about the app. It worked perfectly and it makes wht it is isaid to do. Really easy costumization.

Better user experience than most of the other PDF software I've used. One-click access to the stuff I use the most often, with clear menu options (nomenclature makes sense) and options where I expect to find them. Super-solid at enabling form fill.

A little slow to load and opening some PDFs takes a second or two longer than some other competitors. Not a big deal, but probably worth knowing if you're opening a lot of PDFs every day.

I love the OCR features. Additionally I love the ability to create PDFs from screen captures. The editing capabilities of PDF element 6 are by far the easiest to use of all of the programs I've tried.

Sometimes all of the options available can be overwhelming. I wish there were more extensive tutorials available so that I could utilize the full capacity of this amazing software.

One can buy just one license and be done paying money for the software. Adobe makes a user buy a monthly subscription. The ongoing monthly payments from Adobe are a pain.
PDFelement is very easy to use! Very intuitive!
The software empowers me to make edits easily to existing PDF files from other companies like Adobe. One can be very creative with this product!

The only thing I did not like about version 6 involved an existing PDF file. I was looking for a way to cover up content or lines in another PDF file using either a textbox or rectangle shape filled with color. Being able to write in that shape would have been nice too.

PDF optimization is superior to other software I've used. Very useful for editing PDFs, adding signatures and text to PDF forms etc. I used this multiple times a week.

Good optical character recognition

Sometimes breaks up text into too many fields when using OCR.

Easy to save over original document.

Haven't tried sharing and collaborating on documents but that would be a good extra feature.

It's cheap and the very best.. With constant updates

During updates, the application is completely removed and reinstalled.. Hence I have to every time select PDF element as the preferred app for PDF files

Easy editing, page extract function, clear rendering

The review function is missing what I consider an ESSENTIAL function: Add note to REPLACE text. This makes it difficult to correct misspellings, for instance

full ability to combine, edit, and create PDF's. Very easy to use. Can even convert to Word, Excel, etc.

updates can be problematic at times but get resolved quickly. overall, I don't have many con's about the software

Cost effective.
Simple yet powerful PDF editor with OCR (when Professional is purchased)

Volume licensing didn't offer much discount.

It has the features I use the most: in-line text editing, ability to mark up client proofs and return in a format they can read, combine files, easily convert from other programs to PDF files and vice versa. If you've worked with other PDF software, this should be fairly easy to use. The pricing for the basic version is reasonable, and the combination of features and pricing is a good value.

Some of the editing features aren't intuitive and/or easy to access/figure out how to use. The program freezes up on certain functions, and I have to close and re-open files to accomplish a task. There are too many updates. It seems like every time I open a file, I'm prompted to update. I wish the publisher would batch updates and/or think ahead more so that they could make numerous changes at one time instead of the dribs and drabs they come in.

Easy to use, all employees enjoy the product and right now it is the only one we use. Will look into expanding service in June

I do not have anything negative to say about the product at this time, When we expand our market and grow I will be curious to see if this product will be able to grow with us

Prior to using PDFelement, when I needed to do something with a PDF, I usually had to find disparate freeware software tools and web utilities which met my specific needs on a case-by-case basis. PDFelement is so feature packed that it's always capable of doing what I need it to do in every scenario. It's an all-in-one solution.

I've encountered irritating bugs from time to time, but the software is frequently updated, so the bugs I have encountered have gone away.

PDFelement is a very good software who give to users the opportunity to implement their knowledge and grewup the jobs analysis
.

I like it because this plateforme arrange all users

It integrates seamlessly into all the other software I use. The learning curve is fast. I love being able to edit pdfs

Nothing to say about this product in a negative light. It does what it says on the tin. I don't have anything more to add.

If you are the sole user of the program then it is really cheap. PDFelement has a lot of great features at much less price than adobe. It is also worth noting that it is extremely easy to use. It can allow you to make fillable PDF forms which I always use with my patients.

It can be a bit expensive (not as much as adobe though) if you want it to run on several computers. Also I have had some problems with PDF conversion mostly when there is a signature on the document.

Price and ease of use are the biggest Pros to WonderShare.

No cons

It works great, does everything adobe does at about 1/10 the price!

It takes a few minutes to load in the beginning, but nothing more than that.
