PDF Pro 3 - PDF editor to create, edit, convert and merge PDFs - 100% Compatible with Adobe Acrobat - for Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7

I love this software and the price was right.

It took ages to get it to load in the first place - multiple attempts and it was a miracle that it finally did because I did nothing different (except pray, seriously). Whereas with Adobe you can click on the files you want to merge in Windows Explorer & go through the process, with this you have to open the program up separately and add them and thats just inconvenient. But it really reaches new lows when you actually get into joining them. Its extremely fickle and throws a wobbly if you try and save the merged document as an existing name (i.e. overwriting the old document to which youre adding new bits) or indeed if you decline to open the merged file and worship its supposedly awesome power. If you just want to crack on and save it then think again. It will pretend its saved it but then when youve deleted the old version and go to open the new one it shows you a blank document and awards you an error message instead. If youve not got a backup of the old one saved elsewhere youre then going to have to start hunting for it in the recycle bin or youre buggered. It may be cheap software but its not worth it. The burning hoops youll have to jump through (while juggling two-headed baby seals and singing the national anthem backwards) will stretch your patience further than an over-used bungee rope on its final outing. Do yourself a favour, find something else. Thats what Im going to do now.

It does exactly what I need. I am satisfied with this product. Rest assured if you research will find the same conclusion that it should not cost any more than necessary to do the same job.

Every document I tried to convert would convert inaccurate and missing things … not impressed

My Acrobat program was no longer supported after a few years so I had to use Reader. The new Reader does not permit any editing - even resizing print or lightening. PDF Pro 2 solved my problems. I can do full editing and save my edit with a new name. Just what I needed.

Very annoying to read its promotional literature and then find it just wastes my time.

It takes some time to understand how it works. Most of the times its not allowing me to do what I need done.

You can edit a PDF file and secured it, very useful.

I only needed this to merge multiple PDF documents into 1 single document. For that it works well. I have not used it for other reasons.
