Testimonials

This editor is so rich in features that it would almost be easier to say what it can't do than describe what it can do.

It has facilities that simply don't exist in many other well-known mainstream editors. The tools available for processing PDF bookmarks are a case in point. Many people who open a PDF probably aren't even aware of PDF bookmarks, or what they are for. Not everyone would want to do anything with them. But for those who do, the PDF-Xchange Editor Plus allows you to do things with bookmarks that you would never have thought were possible.

You can add prefixes and suffixes to all bookmarks’ titles. You can change the case of all bookmarks’ titles in one fell swoop, or individually one by one. You can sort bookmarks in alphabetical order, or in order of the page they refer to.

The user interface is another case in point. A lot of thought has clearly gone into it to make it as intuitive as possible, while at the same time providing a huge variety of options. It has so many tools built into it for controlling things like the zoom factor on page thumbnails, or the page display arrangements, that outstrip what other editors can do.

You can define your own keyboard shortcuts for the features you use the most, if you don't like the default shortcuts.
Find and replace searches the text of bookmarks’ titles, as well as the main text of the PDF file. The inbuilt OCR mechanism in PDF-Xchange Editor Plus comes from the well-reputed Abbyy FineReader stable.

There is so much to discover and use in this editor, I can't do justice to it all without writing a book about it. If it's not already obvious, I thoroughly recommend the PDF-Xchange Editor Plus to anyone who works seriously with PDFs.

Last but not least, I very much like the pricing model, which does not follow the modern practice of imprisoning you into a subscription, but uses a one-off purchase price scheme instead. For what this editor offers, the price is extremely reasonable.

I'm pleased to give PDF-XChange Editor a 5-star rating. It's an excellent tool that meets all my needs perfectly. The interface is user-friendly, and the features are exactly what I was looking for. I have no dislikes about the product—it's been a great experience so far.

This software is AMAZING.
When I think: "ow, I would need this feature"
I look for it and it's already there, in an easy, robust and intuitive way.
PDF-XChange Editor is my favourite tool not only for viewing and editing PDFs but it soon became THE tool for merging, cropping and printing.
It's worth every cent that I paid it for.

I have been using PDF-xchange for a year or so, and I am having superb service. In my trade, documentation plays a key role in my day-to-day work. Pdf-xchange enabled me to accomplish editing, composing, and publishing much easier.

PDF-XChange Editor free version is great, which I used for years because I had no need for the advance features. At least that was what I thought, until I watched a youtube video of a teacher explaining how he used it to give lessons etc, then the penny dropped and my eyes were opened to the real power of PDF-XChange Editor. At that time I was involved in a court case and decided to input all the documented evidence, which was presented to me, both in hard copy and pdf's by subject, I learnt how to merge all the pdf's into one PDF within PDF-XChange Editor. Then I set about using links and bookmarks to enable me to move around all the evidence from bookmark to bookmark from within the text to prove my arguments, without loosing a heartbeat. It was fast, efficient and a delight to use! It was well worth the money and I wished that I had purchased it sooner! The one-off payment model, I liked very much and made it a "No Brainer" purchase for me. Using the PDF-XChange Editor software, felt very solid and in use, it was very workman like, functions worked as expected. I have only used a fraction of its features, however the functions and features I did use were really great!
Suggested improvements: Since I used links a lot, I found the following: 1) The word/phrase selected to appear as a link, with a style of Blue and underlined had to be set for every link separately within the properties and I would have very much liked to set up a style profile so that it is done in one click. 2) The link for that word/phrase was a transparent mask overlay, which is fine provided you never moved it. For example I had a list of content in a certain order and I wanted to change that order, i had to move each line of text, then move the correct link overlay mask separately. I would have liked a feature to lock the text and the link mask together so that I could move them together. This would have saved me heaps of time! 3) In the court case mentioned earlier I used an Android OS Tablet and as you know PDF-XChange Editor only works on a Windows OS. So I had to use an Android PDF reader and as a result lost the bookmark functionality but still had the link feature working (Thank goodness)! Is there a software recommendation for Android that is more compatible with PDF-XChange Editor features or are you working on an android version! 4) Last but not least, I am dyslexic, so a comprehensive video tutorial channel with each video, no longer than 5 minutes duration, focused and to the point would be my dream. Overall I would recommend PDF-XChange Editor software without hesitation. Thank you for such a professional fully features PDF software.
