    PDF editing without the cost

    Date: Mar 04 2024

    Summary: I had to edit a PDF image document for a client making an offer to purchase a home. I was able to accomplish this task from my phone while going to a family event. Without having the app, I would not have been able to do edit while my wife was driving. I would have to have return home, edit the document and then go to the event.

    Positive: The ability to edit PDF’s on the fly from my phone. Then accessing the file remotely from online storage.

    There were some hiccups in the beginning, but I like using PDF Extra.

    Negative: The hiccups in the beginning were initially very frustrating, but once I worked through them the app worked perfect.

    A decent Acrobat alternative

    Date: Dec 06 2023

    Summary: At this price point, I really can't complain much. The app has all the PDF features you need and also works like a charm on my not-so-new PC. All they have to do is add a convenient way to compare documents, otherwise I find the product great for the kind of work I do.

    Positive: The app is very straightforward to use, I didn't have to look up any tutorials since the interface is so well laid out. In terms of features, it has everything you can expect from a PDF product, but I personally use the file conversion and editing features the most. It supports all common formats, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, which is great since I often have to work with Microsoft file formats. It also doesn't break the formatting during conversion, which is something I've seen other apps do.

    Negative: You can't really compare documents side by side, or at least I didn't find the option. Right now, you have to open two separate instances, which is not great when you're working on a single monitor, which I suspect is the case for many users like me. Hopefully, that will get added in a future update.

    My Go-to PDF Editor

    Date: Jan 05 2023

    Summary: Great product at a great price that does everything I need and runs smoothly on both my phone and laptop. Highly recommended!

    Positive: Looks like a native Microsoft app, which is great since I didn’t waste any time familiarizing myself with the product and started working straight away. I find PDF Extra’s workflow to be superior to Adobe’s as the interface is much more straightforward to use, so I get more done in less time. The software has lots of pretty handy features, but probably the ones I use the most include merging multiple files into one PDF, the built-in file compressor, and the options to convert PDFs to Microsoft Word and PowerPoint files.

    Negative: Perhaps the only slight downside I have noticed so far is the inability to open multiple documents in separate tabs instead of new instances as it is right now. Would love it if this could get addressed at some point in the future.
