## Reviews

### "Full featured pdf viewer with measurement tools" — 5.0/5

> **Andrew** | *30 July 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.&#10;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.&#10;Would be great if it could open protected files and have a count feature.

### "Better than some but missing essentials" — 3.0/5

> **Jeremy** | *17 September 2024* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The user interface was very easy on my computer and I was able to measure manually fairly quickly overall. Coming from using a digitizer or the measuring pen, it made a significant difference in gathering and storing takeoff information.
> 
> **Cons**: There's no way to find the totals of what I measured without an excel sheet full of formulas. It's ok for small jobs but the more complex the sheet, the longer it takes to gather all that information.
> 
> Working on a digitizer originally, this was far superior by allowing measurement information to be stored on the plans digitally but it's missing the mark when it comes to compiling total takeoff data. I still use it to measure 1 pagers but there are better software programs out there for larger, more complex jobs for sure.

### "Great pdf editor, but looks like it's from 2001" — 4.0/5

> **Léandre** | *3 April 2025* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I'm really glad that the keyboard shortcuts are programmable and that we can navigate the pdf with a click of the middle mouse button
> 
> **Cons**: The interface is super dated and looks convoluted. 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** | *11 July 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.

### "PDF-XChange" — 5.0/5

> **Sophi** | *21 October 2025* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: So many functionalities to the program. Ease to use. Can create anything from work documents to birthday cards.
> 
> **Cons**: I do not have any specific complaints. Maybe an option for the system to automatically apply the form options. Although that might already be an option and our company may not utilize/pay for that.
> 
> It has been great. I am able to create forms for our company. I am able to sign documents and create documents with a signature field.
