Overall, I think PDF Pro is great; my one wish is that it would allow you to open multiple PDFs at the same time.

Pros

PDF pro is easy to use. Its editing and conversion features are great and it costs much less than the competition.

Cons

For some reason I cannot open more than one PDF at a time; the competition allows that. I do not understand why that feature is lacking.

Ovarall experience is very positive. I highly recommend PDF Pro to all users who, like me, are casual users of PDF documents they can edit. convert, etc..

Pros

I rarely leave reviews. I am making a rare exception in this case. First, the PDF Pro software does everything I need it to do. Not as many bells & whistels as Adobe, but that's okay. How often do we use those bells & whistles anyhow? Second, it is afforable. Far more affordable than Adobe. And third, I can't say enough about the customer service. Prompt, helpful, and friendly.

Cons

I only started using the software this week. The only "con" (if I can call it that) is that the user interface is not intuitive. But there is a very helpful Knowledge Base with helpful instructions and images that covers most questions.

Adobe was far too expensive. PDF Pro is affordable, and works.

L'expérience globale avec pdf pro est trés intéressante même dans sa version gratuite. Les fonctionalités de base sont déja suffisantes à mon utilisation.

Pros

les avantages principaux de pdf pro sont : - la possibilité d'ajouter ou de supprimer des pages - la possibilté de modifier du texte ou d'en ajouter directement dans un pdf - signature électronique - convertir un pdf dans d'autre formats

Cons

L'inconvénient principal de pdf pro est qu'il reste limité dans sa version gratuite. Il faut payer pour avoir la version compléte.

Impressed & very pleased with it. Downloading & starting the program is easy. Wouldn't go back to Adobe.

Pros

Functional & cost effective. Easy to merge files. Ease of attaching recent documents to emails. On line support is prompt.

Cons

Can't print a zoomed-in view of document. When double clicking a file to open, it doesn't appear on the screen, you have to hit the icon in the task bar to view it.

Very positive experience and it is easy to use.

Pros

Has most of the features that I typically use.

Cons

Some functionality like comments with a leader would be great. Deleting individual pages should be made simpler. Adding electronic signature should be made simpler.

Overall, the tool does what we need it to do and once we got it figured out it works well

Pros

Good functionality for the price and a solid alternative to Adobe

Cons

Little hard to learn to navigate and support/questions is hard to deal with. Once we were able to navigate beyond general support as an organization, it improved dramatically
