Pros

“What I like most about iLovePDF is the signature section, where I can easily sign my pdf and that is stored for me anything I have other documents to sign and the compression feature where I can upload a pdf and it reduces the size for me”

Ekpono A.

Software Engineer

“Using PDFs can get complicated when you need to convert or edit them with other document file types, the software iLovePDF has so many features to simplify things to make the learning curve even more manageable.”

Zachariah B.

Data Entry

“It offers a wide range of PDF tools, including merging, splitting, compressing, and converting files, all in one platform.”

Arti R.

Engineer

Pros

“THE LAYOUT AND THE NUMBERS TRANSFERRED WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS AS COMPARED TO THE OTHER MAJOR COMPETITORS' PDF PROGRAMS, WHICH DISTORTED THE TEXT OR COMBINED TEXT AND NUMBERS TOGETHER CREATING LONGER REVIEW AND FIX TIME.”

BARRY L.

OWNER

“It's OCR technology is one of its best features which I mostly use, it is quite helpful when modifying assignment templates that are given to me in PDF format. ”

Damian v.

Full time student

“Convert pdf to excel, Modify text or add images to a PDF file, Convert PDF to word and work on the text”

Rodolfo G.

Independent advisor

Cons

“File size restrictions can also be a limitation for larger documents unless upgraded. Since it is web-based, performance can sometimes depend on internet speed, and offline access is not available.”

Swaminathan S.

Human Resources Coordinator

“Other that compression speed and reading pdfs, I found that it did not provide a lot of options wehn editing an existing pdf.”

Dve S.

President

“It is only accessible through a browser, and the it lacks some advanced functionality and customisation when working with pdfs”

Simon M.

Architectural assistant

Cons

“V21- very inaccurate conversion to .docx from scanned pdf files compared to V19. ”

Ernst A.

Not Applicable

“Does not keep any format from the PDF file”

Andrew J.

Project Mgr Estimator

“It did not transfer lines to my DWG program, it transferred characters to generate the look of lines. When my engineers zoomed in to work with the drawings there was no lines that were workable. ”
