CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
It might be hard to believe, but the PDF sun doesn't rise and set on Adobe Acrobat. This suite of PDF-creation tools offers a cheaper alternative based on open-source software called Ghostscript. PDFill PDF Editor lets you design PDF documents complete with text boxes, embedded images, hyperlinks, and forms, and can output encrypted PDFs. In addition to the main application, the suite provides a number of utilities for splitting and merging documents, watermarking them, and adding headers and footers. We're glad to have them, but we would be even happier to see them integrated into the main program. Besides the logo the demo places atop every document, our only other complaint with PDFill PDF Editor is that it's quite slow at opening large (400-page) PDFs, even on a fast computer. Overall, PDFill PDF Editor probably won't make Adobe quake in its boots, but it's a good option for users who don't need the power of the Adobe package, or don't want to pay for it.Publisher's description

Version: PDFill PDF Editor 6.0
Pros: Initially, confusing to use but once I bought the product, I love it!
Cons: Sample product puts a watermark on finished pdf documents and so you really need to buy the product BUT it's only £12.50 (16/07/09 exch rate) which isn't a patch on the cost of the Adobe equivalent.
Summary: I like the product and once I got the hang of it, I was editing pdf's everywhere! Recommended!

Version: PDFill PDF Editor 6.0
Pros: I've been using PDFill and have to say, it is one of the better PDF editors out there. I tried some others but they were either too cumbersome or just didn't have what it takes. I use this in a business environment and it works wonderfully.
Cons: Can't really find any negatives.
Summary: If you're looking for an easy to use PDF editor this is a great product. Also I might mention that the PDF tools are awesome. Especially when combining multiple PDF files into one file.
Thanks PDFill keep up the good work -
