PDF Xchange Viewer and Editor vs. PDFEscape

This software handles large PDF files and has not crashed for me, unlike some other PDF software. It does what I need very well, although it has a lot of features beyond what I need. It extracts and adds documents easily and certainly does well with its search function after applying optical character recognition.

This editor is not made for reference designing pdfs, but for simple editing, it is more than efficient. Many PDF editors require a subscription for something as basic as typing a name or date. PDFEscape is perfect for this and can be done online without any software download.

Performance wise, PDF Xchange Viewer and Editor is flawless. It runs fast, and I haven't experienced any immediately crashing. The reports save quickly, and the document size is never an issue. It saves into a regular PDF, and we're able to open it on any other program or computer. All text boxes, features, and headers show up flawlessly on other programs.

The application had no issues (we did not contact support) and that's why I give a 10.

PDF Xchange hits a sweet spot for me and my users. It is powerful, includes a full suite of creation, markup, and management tools. It is very affordable.

Bluebeam is too much that isn't print and PDF related. It is EXPENSIVE ... more than $300 per person before almost mandatory additional training.

PDF Creator is good for PDF creation. It doesn't include markup and management tools.

PDFEscape is in a league of its own with price and ease of use. Competitors have not met the same criteria and I constantly go back to PDFEscape.

Incentivized

• PDF XChange costs around $50-75 per person depending on the version.

• PDFEscape has saved money for the organization since it is free.
• Timesaver
• Ease of use (no training)
