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.

PDF-xchange pro crashes with windows 8.1
guru2999December 20, 2013
Pros
Easy to uninstall.
Cons
PDF xchange doesn't work as promised, they won't refund your money, and their support doesn't care. After the upgrade to windows 8.1, the serial went away and all of the PDFs were ruined.
Summary
Buy something else, PDF xchange (pdf-xchange pro ... whatever) doesn't do what it promises. If someone has a NO Refund policy - it is usually for a reason.
A good PDF viewer
ArashDecember 14, 2013
Pros
Distinguishes itself from other PDF viewers with lots of annotating tools.
Cons
Needs speed enhancement. On slow may get hung. The annotating tools need to be simplified. Some are not intuitive or not the best the the way they should be designed. Good Reader on iOS is a good example, and PC-based application means vast arsenal of possibilities that simply tablets cannot afford. I need PDF-XChange Pro way to simplify its current (some unique) tools and add more
Summary
The best there is though can be far, much better!
My prefer programme for read/edit pdf.
Olivi78April 8, 2011
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!!!
This is EXACTLY what I needed!!!
builder30February 25, 2011
Pros
Everything about it. My favorite (as someone else mentioned) is the ability to create all your own shortcut keys.
Cons
Have not found ANY yet.
Summary
This gets my vote for program of the year! Exactly what I needed and more than I expected. Great for marking up plans and documents without buying any pro software. The free version is incredible!
Excellent!

Pros
I used PDF-XChange Viewer Free for a long time and would mind upgrade it.
Cons
non- I am satisfied user
Summary
Now I have all I need to create pdf-files from any windows application, view, edit/modify and print Adobe PDF files, export PDF pages and files to Image Formats, Type on PDF pages and much much more. Thanks for good and fast helps for my asks.
Very bad. Do not download.
AkashKulhalliSeptember 13, 2010
Pros
None I could find really listing here. The only thing i could see is that it could take the speed to 102.7 kbps in uTorrent, but the speed kept decreasing rapidly,until it lingered near 0.2 to 0.7 kbps.
Cons
It disappears your title bar (in XP SP2) and it keeps restarting. Takes up a lot of memory and if you keep it open for a long time, it rapidly decreases the speed below 0.10 kbps.
Summary
Does not work as promised.I have nothing but bad thoughts for it.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Sep 13, 2010<p/>Sorry. This comment was accidently posted for this software. do not consider this.

pdf xchange pro is the best thing since sliced bread
freedmlAugust 20, 2008
Pros
Version 3 and Viewer version 1 were great. Version 4 and Viewer Version 2 are even better. I don't know why anyone would use Adobe's viewer any more, given that PDF X-change Browser is also free. <p> <p>The Pro version of the browser lets you add/delete pages from your pdf file, mark them up with text or 'stamps' (which can be made from graphics files, like signature files), and a dozen other useful features. <p> <p>I use the 'tools' part for overlaying printouts on exiting pdf forms and previewing the results prior to printing on paper. SO useful and saves me time and wasted paper/ink every day. <p> <p>In short, it does just about everything you could think of doing with PDF files. Try the free version and then see how long you can live without paying for the 'Pro' features.
Cons
Almost unheard of, but I have no suggestions for improvement. (Except that I had to type the serial number into the viewer to use the Pro features -- it didn't figure out that I already had the Pro version by itself).
Summary
Cannot test it
LindusMarch 2, 2008
Pros
N/A
Cons
The trial version leave HUGE watermarks on the test documents, and if that wasn't enough another corporate logo is put in the middle of the document rendering it useless.<p>This product is not recommended!

Favorite PDF Program

Pros
The Free Viewer is awesome, and the software itself is the smoothest and less-resource hogged than others.
Cons
I wish there was a PDF to Word Converter by them
