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 support community is active and makes resolving issues easy.”

Deon K.

CTO

“Thank you to the very responsive support team I was able to quickly transition to the PDF SDK.”

Joe L.

Software Developer

“Everything is an add-on, requiring specific licensing terms and contracts.”

João M.

Co-Owner & Full Stack Developer

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

“We also couldn’t fully adopt the SDK in production due to numerous unhandled edge cases in its PDF editing API, and their team was reluctant to make improvements to address our needs.”

Honglei L.

CTO

“After 6500$ invested in PDFTRON, their product simply didn’t work as advertised, leaving us empty handed and a whole mess to cleanup up in our product.”

João M.

Co-Owner & Full Stack Developer

“Purchase process by account manager is badLicensing options are not friendly”
