The annotation tools are exactly what we needed for an internal document collaboration tool. > > **Cons**: Although there is nothing negative about what they offer today, I would like them to add additional PDF services. These issues often took a while to resolve, sometimes taking months, but they were ultimately fixed. Fortunately, older versions would still work which gave us the option of rolling back while waiting for a fix to arrive. ----- ### "Easy To Use, Difficult to Customize" — 4.0/5 > **Rick** | *21 April 2023* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Quick and easy implementation on a new project > > **Cons**: I made use of a ready-made pdftodocx.exe from your downloads. It works well except for some things. I need to make use of the full SDK in order to take advantage of the latest developments as you are not providing a ready-made pdftodocx.exe any longer. > > Great then frustrating. Great in that we were able to implement and tweak easily with your support team's help.Frustrating with certain "gotches" like client adding text to the DOCX file and seeing footers moved to next page. I have not been able to overcome that issue as yet. ----- ### "Support and PDF editing functionalities need a lot of improvements" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *14 August 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: PDF viewer functionality is comprehensive - allowing people to view, search, annotate, edit and download. > > **Cons**: PDF editing APIs are not working for many cases - not matching fonts, styles, line spacing, layouts, etc. > > We were Apryse customers for two years, but the experience was underwhelming. Customer support was minimal — the only time we could reliably speak with someone was right before renewal. We also couldn’t fully adopt the SDK in production due to numerous unhandled edge cases in its PDF editing API, and their team was reluctant to make improvements to address our needs. ----- ### "Cannot install my perpetual license" — 4.0/5 > **Alessandro** | *5 May 2022* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was the first pdf converter. Now I found cheaper but FASTER alternatives > > **Cons**: Really disappinted about how pdftron is treating old Activepdf license buyers. I have a perpetual license that no longer activates because of not-working service from them. Contacted the support: they asked me to buy a support contract, that is sold only with a new license. They think I need support, but I only need to move the license to a new server. Online activation return "there was an error parsing the returned data". > > Cannot move license to a new server if I dont buy a new license. This is the reply from the service: " Hi \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] , Sorry, we can't help you any further here without a current license subscription. " I sent them a screen shot with an error indicating that the switched of the license activator server\! ----- ### "Product Enhancement Review" — 4.0/5 > **Nathaniel** | *15 December 2021* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The SDK was easy to incorporate into our software and we've rolled out to our application > > **Cons**: The biggest gap is pricing transparency. It's confusing to understand what is included, what we have access to within our account, etc. > > Overall it's a great product and you have excellent customer support. I just need some better transparency and clarity on the pricing and inclusion of our current license. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/425016/pdftron-sdk?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/425016/pdftron-sdk) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
