    Great product and great support

    Date: Oct 31 2023

    Summary: Great product, will definitely consider using again in the future when developing applications that require the features supported.

    Positive: The product is very customizable and can be integrated with other custom applications.
    Support is very quick to reply to questions and provide answers.

    Negative: It requires a large number of files to be included and published at a location within the context of the app. In my case this was a SharePoint app and the toolchain for app creation does not handle this scenario well so we had to manage deployment of these files separately.

    Excellent PDF Compression

    Date: Sep 15 2023

    Summary: Excellent. The pre-sales engineering support was outstanding. They put together a proof-of-concept for us to test the compression, and we were able to integrate that into our application with very little effort. The team was easy to work with, and the post-sale customer support has been proactive.

    Positive: This is the only PDF manipulation library we found that is able to consolidate multiple copies of the same embedded font, and it does so very quickly. In our application, we create many separate PDFs, each with embedded fonts, then we merge those into a final PDF. Using this library, we're able to reduce the final document by over 60% (in one test case, from 3.4MB to 1.2MB.)

    Negative: The only negative is the licensing model. The library is broken up into a number of modules that are separately priced on a per-document basis. This means that you only pay for the features you need, but you need to do a good up-front analysis to avoid multiple trips back to the well to add modules you didn't know you needed at the start.

    I prefer a per-developer "all features" license, but we were able to reach a fair agreement.

    A brilliantly performant PDF SDK

    Date: Sep 11 2023

    Summary: The best experience with a PDF SDK to date after 8+ years of evaluating and using many others. I would highly recommend using this product and evaluating the online demo. I'm certain when you compare to other commercial offerings you will see a vast difference in performance and feature capability, well beyond expectations. The product support is amazing, and everyone is super responsive.

    Positive: This product is extremely well supported, documented and works amazingly on just about every platform required. packed with well documented features and extremely high performance as compared to other players in the market. This product has transformed the way we deal with PDFs and made life in development way way easier.

    Negative: There is absolutely nothing we didn't like. Seriously compared to other players and in terms of the level of support for price and capability, there is nothing we would change.

    Great Product and Easy Integration

    Date: Aug 18 2023

    Summary: Working with PSPDFKit was been a great experience. The tech is great and the team is extremely responsive. I'm very happy with the features we've already shipped with this SDK. I'm even more excited about what new features PSPDFKit will enable for us.

    Positive: PSPDFKit performs phenomenally for pdf use cases. Rendering, editing, signing, redacting, and other functions are straightforward to implement. Everything is configurable and all api options are well documented. Being able to fully integrate on a trial with a watermark made it easy to develop a proof of concept.

    Negative: License cost is not immediately straightforward or available for purchase. Although this means you can get a pricing plan that is tailored to your needs, its a lot more manual that I expected.

    Great Product and Great Team

    Edited: Aug 17 2023

    Summary: PSPDFKit is great because it is simple to set up and use. What really makes them fantastic is their team and customer support. Even when I was just in the demo stage of getting their product and testing it, their developers team was with me every step of the way to answer any questions and helped me actually come up with better uses. This alone is what swayed me to choose them as the SDK I was going to use.

    Positive: - Easy to use product with many applications.
    - The best support.
    - Their site has a lot of documentation to get you going.

    Negative: There were absolutely no downsides to choosing the PSPDFKit SDK; it exceeded all our expectations.

    One of the best solutions for processing PDFs

    Date: Aug 17 2023

    Summary: Working with PSPDFKit both on front-end, backend went smoothly without any major technical risks.
    Can't wait for their cloud API to cover more features such as PDF to JSON.
    Besides, working with their very patient and available pre-sales and support team was a real pleasure.

    Positive: - Accurate
    - Fast
    - Flexible in terms of integration and deployment options
    - Feature-rich
    - Great support and account management team. They're reactive and close to their customers
    - Fairly economical compared to competition

    Negative: - Documentation can sometimes be confusing. Especially in terms of understanding pricing and product concepts / terms
    - Support for React and NextJS could be taken a bit further with less hacks and guesses
    - Uneasy for intermediate developers
    - Server version deployment docs lack some details that require a good sysadmin / DevOps investigation to figure.
    - A bit expensive but aligned with competition prices available on the market.
