Administration Farming Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Performance et vitesse " May 24, 2024 5.0 Dès le début, j'ai trouvé que l'interface de Lumin PDF est très intuitive et conviviale. La navigation à travers les différentes fonctionnalités est simple et directe, ce qui facilite l'utilisation pour les débutants comme pour les utilisateurs expérimentés. Pros L'interface utilisateur de Lumin PDF est intuitive et facile à naviguer, ce qui permet de trouver rapidement les outils nécessaires sans courbe d'apprentissage abrupte. Cons Certaines fonctionnalités avancées que l'on trouve dans des logiciels PDF plus robustes, comme l'OCR (reconnaissance optique de caractères) pour les documents scannés, ne sont pas disponibles ou sont moins performantes. Switched from [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) Coût des fonctionnalités premium : Bien que Lumin PDF propose de nombreuses fonctionnalités utiles, plusieurs d'entre elles sont réservées à la version payante. Le coût des fonctionnalités premium a été un facteur déterminant dans ma décision de chercher une alternative offrant un meilleur rapport qualité-prix.

Pros Mi è mai capitato di dover modificare dei PDF, di dover unire alcune pagine a documenti PDF, o semplicemente di dover apportare delle firme su questi documenti? Se vi è capitato, Lumin PDF è davvero un ottimo software per rispondere a queste esigenze. L’utilizzo ormai da diversi anni, e semplice da utilizzare e non mi ha mai dato alcun tipo di problema. Anche la versione offerta gratuitamente sul loro sito Internet permette di portare a termine molte delle attività che ho menzionato sopra, se avete necessità di unire, dividere o semplicemente modificare dei PDF potete valutare questo software Cons A volte la piattaforma è un po’ lenta e per fare le modifiche PDF impiega un po’ di tempo. I costi delle versioni a pagamento potrebbero essere superiori rispetto a programmi simili, ma se mi basta anche la versione gratuita e sicuramente un’ottima soluzione.

Healthcare Virtual Assistant Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple PDF sofware" September 29, 2022 5.0 Overall, I like how simple it was to operate. It's simple to modify and excellent for document signing. Pros Because Lumin is part of the Google Drive platform, using it is quite simple. It is simple to use every day to sign and amend papers and offers a wide range of capabilities. Lumin is far superior to document printing and scanning. I heartily endorse it. Cons At first, Google Drive's file saving or reuploading feature could seem a bit confusing. The Lumin PDF is also a bit challenging to utilize. Even though it has an excellent solution, occasionally Lumin loses its connection to Google Drive without warning, and I have to enter it again.

Definitely makes things easier, as well as keeps all of my PDF documents in one place. Pros One of my favorite features of Lumin PDF is that it automatically saves my digital signature, so it's incredibly easy to add it to a new document. I can open documents in Lumin PDF directly from my email, or Google Drive. I frequently use this program in my line of work, and I wish I would have known about it sooner. It's the easiest program to use for modifying fillable PDF documents. Cons The only downside to this program is that you have to purchase a subscription to be able to use all of its features, but that's not abnormal.

June 8, 2024 4.0 Overall the app had nice features, but the free trial is limited and I don't know that the premium was worth it for the time being. Pros Lumin PDF is a user-friendly app for editing and managing PDFs. It integrates well with Google Drive and Dropbox, making it easy to access and save files. The app offers useful tools for annotating and collaborating in real-time. Cons The free version has limited features, and the app can be slow with large files. The paid version is pretty expensive.

Gives me too much of a headache going back and forth trying to get it to sun to my google drive. Pros You can edit documents from your google drive. I can sign and edit documents and then sync them to my google drive. Cons The sync feature doesn’t work very well.

Defence Scientist Defense & Space Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Decent software but somewhat expensive" August 4, 2021 5.0 Pros The signature feature was what drew me to the software and it worked excellent. Thankfully I only needed to sign 1 document. I did not have to use the editing options much, but for my limited needs, it worked very well. The integration with Google Drive makes uploading your files very easy. Cons The limited signatures for the free version is, well, a limitation. But so long as you don't need to sign a lot of documents per month, it's not an issue. It's a little confusing when editing a document how to get back to the "home" screen where your documents are, but once your figure that out (trial and error), it's a quick recall. Review Source Response from Nitrolabs July 7, 2022 Hi Kevin! Thanks for the honest feedback. We're working on further improvements and will incorporating more features for both free and premium version. FT Fernanda T.
