Intuitive and nifty PDF editing software

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates PDFelement from other similar products?

PDFelement forms a part of document editing suite from Wondershare thus the overall technical support is pretty great given the relative size of the company.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Once you get past the familiarisation stage, PDFelement is very intuitive to use. It also helps that the toolbar mimics somewhat of a typical word processing software and the user can jump right in to start doing some edits. The editable text auto-detection also has a near 100% success rate when trying to edit most PDF files. I also like how the document margins and layouts are preserved hence less headache to worry about overflowing texts, et cetera.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are still occasional bugs that I hope Wondershare will try to improve in each new update. For example, the selected font in PDFelement may look differently after the PDF file is produced. In this case, I often need to counter check the end result and modify my edits by selecting less “buggy” fonts to ensure consistency of my document outputs. Also, as of the latest version of this software, font sizes are rather limited to the preset value. Compared this to Microsoft Word processing, for example, which allows more finite value controls of font size.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is a great software with nifty features that is surprisingly easy and intuitive to use after a few minutes exploring the toolbars and functions. It also helps that OCR functions can be added as an add-on into it and from my experience, it works pretty well for 15-20 major languages in term of word and spelling detections. For those considering it, you may consider subscribing to only PDFelement or to Wondershare’s whole suite of document editing tools, depending on your business needs.

Pros

  • Enables Productivity
