I love the option of perpetual licensing which is the exact reason I purchased this over adobe. > > **Cons**: It sometimes (rarely) doesn't open as default even though it is set as default for PDF on my computer but other than that is excellent and poses no issues > > Excellent, would recommend to anyone and even considering purchasing the perpetual license upgrade. ----- ### "GREAT Program\!" — 5.0/5 > **Stephanie** | *18 December 2024* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how the PDFelement platform is clean and super easy to use. I'm so grateful that it's simple to edit my PDFs and also transfer to various formats. I highly recommend\! > > **Cons**: Nothing, I really enjoy this product and all its features\! ----- ### "PDFelement Wonders" — 5.0/5 > **Charles** | *24 September 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to edit and work on a PDF as though I work on a word document > > **Cons**: None I can think of at the moment because it's been a good product. > > PDFelement is an all encompassing platform that gives you flexibility to maximize resources around a PDF ----- ### "The intuitive and budget-friendly alternative that simplifies my life" — 5.0/5 > **Patrick** | *21 June 2026* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I discovered PDFelement while looking for a less expensive alternative to the Adobe suite, and I was pleasantly surprised. What I love above all else is its modern and clean interface that closely resembles Microsoft Office, making it immediately familiar and easy to pick up. Text editing, PDF-to-Word or Excel conversion, and optical character recognition (OCR) work flawlessly and very quickly. It is the ideal compromise between simplicity and power. > > **Cons**: I have noticed that when converting highly complex PDF files containing nested tables or rare fonts into Word format, the original layout can sometimes shift slightly, forcing me to make a few manual adjustments. Additionally, the free version applies a rather large watermark right in the middle of documents, which forces you to upgrade to the paid version for professional use. > > Regained efficiency without breaking the bank. PDFelement gives me access to all the professional PDF editing features I need on a daily basis for a fraction of the price of traditional software, optimizing both my budget and my time. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/148193/pdfelement-6?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/148193/pdfelement-6) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
