PDF-XChange Pro is arguably the best pdf software suite there is, and has been so for a long time. Furthermore, is see this as a tradition continuing into the future. Just about anything you wish to do with a pdf file, Tracker PDF-XChange Pro can do it and more. I have been using Tracker PDF-XChange Pro for a number of years. I started with shareware and freeware, but features convinced me to grab the commercial version. I have had no regrets. As a researcher, I dealt with pdf files everyday and did pdfing every week. I needed the best. PDF-XChange Pro is the best. Whether it is disassembling or rearranging, extracting, reorienting, inserting or simply highlighting text, whatever the manipulation is to be done with a pdf file, PDF-XChange Pro makes it look like a cakewalk. I especially love the pdf printer because it prints every sort of file type I have thrown at it, regardless of the size too. I highly recommend this software.

This is a fantastic product at any price, but especially amazing considering the low cost as compared to other similar functioning pdf editors. The interface is clean, pretty and easy to use. It is extremely intuitive and has virtually no learning curve. It fit a very specific niche for me (I needed a fully functional pdf editor that could operate without limitations within an Internet Explorer extension) and did so brilliantly, but even as a stand alone product it is head and shoulders above the rest (and I tried them all). I am particularly impressed with the thoughtfulness that is evident in the design of the interface. Even Acrobat is not as well thought out or intuitive. To put it simply, it just works! I have put it through it’s paces and nothing, including Acrobat Pro DC, can keep up and do what I needed to do. I cannot remember being this satisfied with a software purchase in my life (no hyperbole). I am work in health care and I could only wish that any of the EMR applications I’ve had to work with over the years was as well-programmed, thoughtful and intuitive and this powerful little product. Job very well done!

Your software is the most functional and ingenious PDF Editor ever!
And the support team is marvelously efficient!
Combo "great software"+"great support"="success" :)

I have to say, given a short learning curve, this is one of the best PDF programs out there today. The price is well within reach of most, yet the features were superior to other more expensive programs I've had trials with. I no longer feel excluded from that elusive Adobe Acrobat club.
Going forward it will replace all my MS Word and Google Docs as my standard document creator, given the overall acceptability, features and reduced size of the pdf files. (optimized)
Nice job guys!

I have been using the free version of PDF-XChange Editor for years and felt it was time to contribute. I purchased the PDF-XChange Pro, which includes the Tools and Editor with a couple of years of maintenance, which will keep me updated. I create many PDF reports and have refused to buy Acrobat because of the subscription that goes with it. PDF-XChange Pro does everything I need, from creating forms to editing PDFs. A great piece of software that I highly recommend, especially if you are looking for an alternative to lengthy and expensive subscription plans. I hope that the good people at Tracker continue providing great software for another 27 years!

Pros: The interface is so easy to use - much easier than Acrobat! The menus are more easily customized, and functionality seems much easier to find. The "Add Text" feature is my favorite. It's so much easier to pinpoint exactly where I want to insert the text and then to adjust it to where I want it to be. And it is also easier to adjust the size, typeface, etc. It's so intuitive, and I like the interface better than any of its competitors. Best of all, it was so much more reasonably priced! In my office, three of us have the Tools package and one of us has the PRO package. We use it daily. I use it to prepare annotated reports for clients and redline drawings when we close out construction projects. It's so nice to have easily-manipulated tools! We've also just begun using the batch tools. I am a huge fan of this software!

Cons: The only thing I don't like about this software is that it does not have the ability to automatically detect fields when creating forms. The Tracker Software team has promised in the forums that it's on their list of things to implement, but has not given a definite date for this to happen. When it does, this software is going to be PERFECT.

Overall: It was a replacement for Adobe Acrobat 9 that I previously used. I didn't want to go to the subscription-based software, and I actually ended up LOVING this software much better than I ever did with Acrobat. And that's saying a lot - I was a very brand-loyal Adobe user!

I have paid outrageous amounts of money over the years on the purchase price and upgrades from Acrobat 6 through to XI. Acrobat XI was the killer. Locked toolbars and unable to adjust to high resolution screens. The final straw was ending support in October, 2017, and encouraging people, once again, to pay substantial amounts of money for Acrobat DC. Setting aside the requirement that I would have to keep a door open to their cloud, the DC UI was a geek nightmare. Once again, locked, and a design that looked more like the kind of web page that scares you off before you fully load. I have put PDF-XChange through its paces and am well pleased. Much of the work that I do involves rather bad scans of academic journals and your OCR has come through with very few errors. The interface is clean and well designed and even though I am a classic UI kind of guy your ribbons are tempting and I may well migrate. Finally, I appreciate that you have a Canadian base just up the coast from my family in Victoria. Nicely done!

I'm using the licensed version for some years now, after using the free version for a while. Back then the Adobe products were solely read-only (no editing at all) and Tracker's version was giving full editing (save for forms) for about 30 bucks, which was dirt-cheap, but if you shell out a bit of money you can edit the text in a PDF (quite useful sometimes), summarize comments, create and/or edit forms. Not every Joe Average needs this functions, but if you need them, then Tracker's solution is giving you the best bang for the buck . I also had several instances when I contacted support and got always competent and rapid responses; sometimes I discovered bug(s), sometimes I oversaw something. Highly recommended both as software and as support experience.

Regarding the Tracker Administrative Template.

... It is a fantastic addition. Thank you so much for bringing it to our attention. This is simple and clean. I'm a big fan.

I am a writer here in Vancouver BC Canada. I need a flexible PDF Program that offers many options. The demands put onto me limit any waste of time. So, various PDF/OCR Programs were tested over 8-months, four were kept right until I made a decision. These were all well known programs. The one I decided upon without hesitation was PDF-XChange Pro. Let me be clear, money was not the deciding factor, it was overall operational ease of use with well thought out features built in. I still use Adobe on my other server, but my clear favorite is PDF-XChange Pro. The Team that put this together deserves to be given the highest ratings.
