Pros
Editing PDF files can be accomplished easily with a load of free tools in this software. The installation process is easy and not full of bloatware that some PDF software always tries to push.
Particular praise to [SENSITIVE CONTENT], who treats you like his most important customer.
Positive; both in using the software and also customer support. When we have had specific issues with the product, the team has been very quick to respond and identify a workable solution.
The PDF functionality is all there and it does do what it says. The Support are pretty good and they are friendly.
Cons
Inexperienced coders could therefore struggle implementing this in their own Apps, as the lack of guidance creates a steep learning curve.
One of the things that is missing from RadaeePDF (and is missing from most PDF libraries I've seen) is the ability to add compressed images to a PDF (using a lossless format such as CCITT4).
The software doesn't work automatically out of the box and requires some screwing around to get it integrated. I have to use a lot of legacy features in order to make the software function.
Without developing Linux and Windows Server for Java. We use competition for this problem.

"RadaeePDF is a good PDF rendering"
Overall: It's user-friendly and comes with my recommendation. The great thing about this is that you can access all the pdf files in your folder from any device as long as you have the correct login credentials.
Pros: The user may choose from a number of different text and art tools. The program is quite lightweight, thus it loads and runs quickly on my PC. I really like the client and server side aspects of this program.
Cons: Inadequate effort was put on the documentation. The amount of documentation isn't sufficient to prevent the need to contact assistance.
"Great PDF library at an incredible price"
Overall: RadaeePDF has been great to work with, and the customer support is top notch. When I've submitted bug reports, I've gotten very quick responses and often a new build to work with shortly after.
Pros: For most use cases, RadaeePDF SDK will cover everything that is needed to work with PDFs. The rendering is very fast, and the memory usage stays fairly low. There is great support for annotations, and they provide versions of their library for Android, iOS and Windows 10, which was extremely important for my business as I expanded to new platforms. The price is unbeatable for what you get.
Cons: One of the things that is missing from RadaeePDF (and is missing from most PDF libraries I've seen) is the ability to add compressed images to a PDF (using a lossless format such as CCITT4). This means that building a new PDF results in larger files that load slower compared to PDFs built with compressed images.
"Good Value for Money"

Pros: - The PDF functionality is all there and it does do what it says - The Support are pretty good and they are friendly
Cons: - The documentation isn't to a level that means that support doesnt need to be contacted - The software doesn't work automatically out of the box and requires some screwing around to get it integrated - I have to use a lot of legacy features in order to make the software function

"The best features and value"
Overall: It really couldn't have been easier to use this SDK in our product and updating it didn't break everything. Amazing job.
Pros: How easy it was to integrate and configure. It saved our dev team weeks of time.
Cons: There was not anything that we needed this to do that it didn't excel at. For our project at least I can't offer much feedback here.
"Good value product that fills a gap in the market"
Overall: Positive; both in using the software and also customer support. When we have had specific issues with the product, the team has been very quick to respond and identify a workable solution. Particular praise to [SENSITIVE CONTENT], who treats you like his most important customer.
Pros: Once implemented and embedded in our App, the software is proving relatively straightforward to use by the users (who are not IT technicians or administrative users, they are field engineers). A variety of editing options are presented to the user, from text to drawing tools, so providing choice.
Cons: The toolbar that contains the editing tools is not the easiest user experience. Having to 'switch on' and 'switch off' tools to move to the next tool could be better implemented. Users should be able to click on one tool and then switch straight to another by clicking on the next one. The feedback from users concerning the 'free draw' tool is that it is "a bit light, almost translucent, so being able to make it darker would be desirable for those working outside in sunshine". Documentation may have improved since we implemented one year ago, but guidance was insufficient at that time, requiring we examined the code to figure out how to use it properly. Inexperienced coders could therefore struggle implementing this in their own Apps, as the lack of guidance creates a steep learning curve.

Pros: Editing PDF files can be accomplished easily with a load of free tools in this software. The installation process is easy and not full of bloatware that some PDF software always tries to push. The application is light and fast to run on my computer.
