I started using the free version and, realizing the advantages of the full version, got the license. It is even possible to do some tasks with other free software, which I have come to see, but with PDF-XChange is much faster and practical. It really is software I recommend. ----- ### "Great pdf editor, but looks like it's from 2001" — 4.0/5 > **Léandre** | *3 April 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I'm really glad that the keyboard shortcuts are programmable and that we can navigate the pdf with a click of the middle mouse button > > **Cons**: The interface is super dated and looks convoluted. It could use a visual overhaul > > Great program to navigate and edit PDFs. It is a major part of my job and a competent program makes it a breeze. ----- ### "Better than some but missing essentials" — 3.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *17 September 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The user interface was very easy on my computer and I was able to measure manually fairly quickly overall. Coming from using a digitizer or the measuring pen, it made a significant difference in gathering and storing takeoff information. > > **Cons**: There's no way to find the totals of what I measured without an excel sheet full of formulas. It's ok for small jobs but the more complex the sheet, the longer it takes to gather all that information. > > Working on a digitizer originally, this was far superior by allowing measurement information to be stored on the plans digitally but it's missing the mark when it comes to compiling total takeoff data. I still use it to measure 1 pagers but there are better software programs out there for larger, more complex jobs for sure. ----- ### "Excellent application." — 5.0/5 > **Adefemi** | *11 July 2025* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that PDF Change is quite similar to adobe yet has more options to work with documents. You can combine documents, resize and email directly to outlook. > > **Cons**: No cons really. It’s an amazing application. I like it so much. The rotate function acts up sometimes but other than that, it’s a good app. ----- ### "Better than Adobe by a mile." — 5.0/5 > **Joe** | *8 February 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is an all in one package. I use PDF-X every single day and find it to be the best PDF software on the market. > > **Cons**: Nothing. Not a single complaint. There really isn't any negative thing I can think of. > > AAA+++. It gives me so many options that I have not been able to use them all. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/476965/PDF-XChange?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/476965/PDF-XChange) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
