Pros

“I sign and send official documents in just a few clicks, completely eliminating the tedious printing and scanning steps.”

Patrick K.

Vice President at JPK and Associates, Inc.

“The text editing and conversion tools to Microsoft Office formats are simply magical.”

Vice President at JPK and Associates, Inc.

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 has a great selection of tools for editing, merging, splitting, converting, compressing, and filling out documents, all in one place.”

Jonathan K.

Chief Marketing Officer

Cons

“They sold a product and then did a rug pull when they realized they'd rather charge people again than honor their lifetime license they originally sold.”

Isaac G.

Controller

“Incorrect information from support, quick to take money for a licence impossible to get it back when they fail to provide the software.”

Colin O.

editor

“Only thing that is annoying is that it tends to default to the app for all PDFs which is not necessary - not really due to Nitro!”

Serena S.

Executive Assistant

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.”
