CNET Editors' review
PDF-XChange Pro is a swift tool for converting files to PDF, though it takes an unusual path to get its results. Regardless, the program offers enough fantastic options to make up for its design flaws.
The program confused us with its interface. We've tested many PDF converters, but had never dealt with one featuring a file tree offering just Microsoft Word, Excel, and Internet Explorer logos. After briefly reading the instructional Help file and performing some experiments, we realized that drop down menu is how you seek out a file to convert. We would have preferred searching through our hard drive, but this method wasn't difficult once we understood it. Fortunately, the program quickly made a complete design recovery. While the file we chose was opened, there were three PDF icons in the corner encouraging us to Convert to PDF, Convert and e-mail, and arrange options. Conversion functions worked smoothly, maintaining all data, though it left PDF-XChange watermarks. The Options icon provided a slew of excellent features that made us forget the poor initial interface. Here we could compress the converted file into something smaller, add our own watermark, and even password-protect the file. While the interface was a little klutzy, the program's functions and features redeemed PDF-XChange Pro.
PDF-XChange Pro places a watermark on all converted files during its trial. It comes as a compressed file and leaves behind folders after uninstall. Since its functions and options outshine its poor interface, we recommend this program.

"My prefer programme for read/edit pdf."
Version: PDF-XChange Pro 4.0194
Pros
This is just a great product. Full of really useful features, easy to use, with friendly interface, fast -- and it produces great PDFs with faithful rendering of text and graphics. Even the full-blown version is pretty cheap compared to the others.
Cons
There is nothing that can make me sad.
Summary
I downloaded it to try and soon upgraded it. For my opinion it is "software of future". If I have some questions - I can easily ask them in Support forum and to my big surprise I always get answers (in 1-2 days). So, I can say they pay attention to end-user needs and it's great!!!
