### "an excellent product within reach of your pc"

August 11, 2021

5.0

excellent, it is a very good and complete program, it offers the possibility of generating trust, it is comfortable and easy to access as well as comprehensiveness with the different software

Pros

pdf is the best software to read and edit documents, it is very functional and what I like the most is that it offers security to its users

Cons

It is a bit tedious when copying texts but it is part of the security it provides, so there is no problem

### "PDF"Incomplete" is Not Intuitive and Lacks the Most Basic Features"

October 9, 2022

1.0

I had Foxit PhantomPDF before and it wasn't great but it was sure lightyears better than this.

Pros

Absolutely nothing. That review is too short, so I'll repeat: I liked nothing about this software.

Cons

For starters, it stupidely launches in GIANT MODE and every time you must click on another button to reduce the display down to something actually readable. There is no way to alter this because I asked them ... and AFTER TWO WEEKS they finally answered and said NO. And while PDF"Incomplete" has some editing features, it lacks the simplest editing feature of all, and that is: YOU CANNOT ADD SIMPLE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTING! It simply doesn't exist in the program. You can change text and font, but not the background color. For a basic user, who needs to change font? But I constantly like to highlight important items like I've done in every PDF program I've ever had in 40 years, and I simply cannot do that with this one. I spent $59 and all I got was frustration.

### "bs\_completepdf"

May 2, 2022

4.0

I'm making a report with a lot of pages and I used this product to do it fast.

Pros

What I liked most about this software is its easy interface, converting speed, pdf reading feature.

Cons

My least favorite thing about this software is that its interface resembles an old program and I don't think it deserves the price.

### "Decent alternative to Adobe"

October 10, 2020

4.0

It really just allowed the conversion of docs from Work to PDF.

Pros

The product was very inexpensive and allowed for the conversion of Word to PDF docs, which if that's all you need, it is fine.

Cons

The functionality is very low compared to Adobe and other similar products, and sometimes crashed my system.

### "PDF Complete Review"

April 28, 2022

5.0

Ultimately, it worked for me smoothly.

Pros

This product is being used by me ever since I was in college. The best of it all is that it helps to keep notes and files in pdf format. Converting or reading files is easy. It's really a significant software.

Cons

I never encountered a challenge with this software, because i particularly used it as a student and basically i merely used it for my notes in pdf formats. But it's not a difficult software.

Consiglio la prova per verificare e apprezzare le specifiche dichiarate.

### "PDF Complete is Not Complete"

June 10, 2021

3.0

Not good. Certain edit features blew up and others were inconsistent.

Pros

Some of the features are far superior to other tools and then there is the editing process. This feature had great possibilities but appeared to be buggy.

Cons

Buggy tools, Our users became quickly frustrated with the editing issues. We compared this tool to other similar products and ended up using another solution.

### "Research before using"

May 7, 2021

3.0

I didn't have it for long so personally, I cant say my experience was bad but it wasn't anything to acknowledge either.

Pros

I used a demo version of this software and I mistakenly didn't research it before signing up for it. I just wanted to turn a pdf into a word document that I could write on and submit. While I could do it with this software there are plenty of free versions out there without the need to download.

Cons

For me and my needs, it was highly unnecessary since there were other websites online for free that gave me what I needed.
