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. ----- ### "Excellent application." — 5.0/5 > **Adefemi** | *July 11, 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. ----- ### "Highly recommended for engineers" — 5.0/5 > **Nikolaos** | *June 6, 2026* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: PDF-XChange Pro offers excellent value for money, fast performance, powerful editing tools, OCR, custom stamps, digital signatures, and reliable handling of large technical PDF drawings. > > **Cons**: Although PDF-XChange Pro does not include a dedicated angle measurement tool, angles can still be checked indirectly through available drawing and measurement tools. > > PDF-XChange Pro is an excellent PDF solution and a very strong alternative to more expensive subscription-based software. It offers a complete set of professional tools for editing, annotating, combining, OCR processing, stamping, digitally signing, and managing PDF documents. As a technical professional, I especially appreciate the precision of the markup tools, the measurement functions, the custom stamps, and the ability to work efficiently with large technical drawings. The interface is powerful but still practical once configured, and the software is fast and stable even with complex PDF files. The biggest advantage is the value for money. PDF-XChange Pro provides a wide range of professional features with a perpetual license model, which makes it far more attractive than many annual subscription products. Highly recommended for engineers, architects, consultants, and anyone who needs a reliable, feature-rich PDF editor for daily professional work. ----- ### "Not Intuitive for Casual Users" — 1.0/5 > **Karen** | *July 20, 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It looks like there are a lot of features. I really don't have anything good to say about this application. > > **Cons**: This application is not intuitive for casual users who just need simple PDF editing software. When attempting to add duplicate pages of a blank form, the default seems to be to duplicate the data from the first page onto any additional pages. When trying to correct this, the application completely deleted all data from all pages. I just need to fill in a form it shouldn't be this complicated. > > Maybe this application works better for documents that contain a lot of unique text. It does not function well for managing PDF forms where the same basic form is duplicated multiple times but requires unique data on each form. The only way I can make it work is to save forms as separate files. ----- ### "Full featured pdf viewer with measurement tools" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *July 30, 2025* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: PDF-Xchange is a powerful pdf reader and editor. It has many features useful for engineers including measurement with calibration > > **Cons**: A big con for me is the inability to open Ansarada security protected files. Another drawback is no count feature for measurement > > PDF-XChange is one of the best pdf viewers I have used. It is very full featured, good editing and markup functionality and great tools for quick measurements. Would be great if it could open protected files and have a count feature. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/170838/pdf-xchange?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/170838/pdf-xchange) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
