I love this product, it has saved me hundreds of hours of editing, its easy to use and has a great price.
Also crashed my laptop and fails to convert pdf to word without corrupting the document. Avoid this garbage at all costs.
I also love that it's a one-time purchase, and not a monthly subscription like so many other software offerings of this type. Customer service was responsive and helpful in the registration process.
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.
Its modern and attractive look, combined with the many excellent functions it has, make PDFElement the best PDF reader on the market.
Conversion to MS Word does not work well. Even if you have run OCR on the document before converting, it sometimes inserts entire pages as images instead of editable text.
This is a quality product, well-thought out and well-executed. I especially recommend it to educators, as they have great education pricing options for both individuals, students, and institutions.
Product has all kinds of glitches and there is no one to talk to to get them fixed. Stay away is my recommendation.
A smooth experience using this application & lately I love Pdf has been in the top my list to help me with the documentation.
For example if you drag and drop many files to merge them in a unique PDF (I am talking about 20 or more) the order that you have in your folder will not be the one on the software.
Privacy is very important for me and when I checked the I Love PDF FAQ page they talked about making our files secure and safe and It's good to hear that.
It makes sense to compress those types of things in a large presentation, but sometimes it looks very bad and I would have to go another route.
There are many more options in this amazing software for us to fulfill our e business needs in this competitive world. It has real value for money.
It´s hard to find errors in I love PDF, maybe the only disadvantage is that it only works with an internet connection.
It is super easy to use, the menus are visually great and easy to find the function that you want.
There geogle drive and Dropbox sometimes I shit messy you can save files.
Speaker 1: Hi, I am Travis. I'm marketing manager for an air compressor company. The size is about 25 employees, and with one, to share PDFelement, I would give it about a four out of five on a scale. Before using PDFelement, I was using the free version of Adobe Acrobat, and it was working for some stuff, but I still needed more features, which Adobe blocks behind the paywall. So I switched to PDFelement, which was super affordable, and had all the features that I needed for the basic use case scenarios, and it did a really good job at doing all the basics really well. I chose PDFelement because of the job that it does at recognizing text in a PDF that wasn't really meant to be editable. So when you go into a PDF and you just want to edit some text, or even pull an image out, or replace an image, it was pretty easy to do that and makes those types of jobs really quick and easy. So to implement PDFelement it was pretty easy, straightforward, because I've already used Wondershare programs in the past. All I needed to do was log in, pay for the upgrade, and then just download the software and get into it, and it was pretty straightforward from there. If you're looking to get PDF element and implement it in your organization or just for individual use, I would recommend it. However, if you're using a lot of Adobe products, I probably would gear towards the Adobe Acrobat program, just because if you create something in the Adobe ecosystem, you're likely using Adobe fonts and then those are kind of difficult to convert over when you're using a different PDF editor. So it kind of depends on the ecosystem you're in. If you don't really use a lot of Adobe products outside of that, then I think PDFelement would be much more cost-effective and better overall.
Joshua: Hi, my name is Joshua and I work with Arrows. I'm rating iLovePDF 5 out of 5. I use iLovePDF because I get tired and frustrated using Microsoft Word, transferring and trying to edit different document and saving it in PDF. So iLovePDF is on the go, and that's much more easier for me to use. I chose iLovePDF because it's kind of mobile. You could use it on the app, you could use it on the laptop, on the desktop, on the mobile, on the go, on the plane. Anywhere it's accessible. And it's easy to use. That's why I chose iLovePDF. Getting to use iLovePDF is simple. Much more easier than I think. You don't need an excuse to learn about iLovePDF. Just go online, upload your file, decide what you want to do. You want to add dates, you want to delay it, you want to call it, you want to... All kind of it. It's easy to do. It's just one click away. I think you guys should try iLovePDF, because I've used it for quite a while now, say two, three years now. And I've continued to love iLovePDF because it's virtually simple to use and make much sense to me, probably. And it's free.
