It has many features useful for engineers including measurement with calibration > > **Cons**: A big con for me is the inability to open Ansarada security protected files. Another drawback is no count feature for measurement > > PDF-XChange is one of the best pdf viewers I have used. It is very full featured, good editing and markup functionality and great tools for quick measurements. Would be great if it could open protected files and have a count feature. ----- ### "Highly recommended for engineers" — 5.0/5 > **Nikolaos** | *6 June 2026* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: PDF-XChange Pro offers excellent value for money, fast performance, powerful editing tools, OCR, custom stamps, digital signatures, and reliable handling of large technical PDF drawings. > > **Cons**: Although PDF-XChange Pro does not include a dedicated angle measurement tool, angles can still be checked indirectly through available drawing and measurement tools. > > PDF-XChange Pro is an excellent PDF solution and a very strong alternative to more expensive subscription-based software. It offers a complete set of professional tools for editing, annotating, combining, OCR processing, stamping, digitally signing, and managing PDF documents. As a technical professional, I especially appreciate the precision of the markup tools, the measurement functions, the custom stamps, and the ability to work efficiently with large technical drawings. The interface is powerful but still practical once configured, and the software is fast and stable even with complex PDF files. The biggest advantage is the value for money. PDF-XChange Pro provides a wide range of professional features with a perpetual license model, which makes it far more attractive than many annual subscription products. Highly recommended for engineers, architects, consultants, and anyone who needs a reliable, feature-rich PDF editor for daily professional work. ----- ### "Not Intuitive for Casual Users" — 1.0/5 > **Karen** | *20 July 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It looks like there are a lot of features. I really don't have anything good to say about this application. > > **Cons**: This application is not intuitive for casual users who just need simple PDF editing software. When attempting to add duplicate pages of a blank form, the default seems to be to duplicate the data from the first page onto any additional pages. When trying to correct this, the application completely deleted all data from all pages. I just need to fill in a form it shouldn't be this complicated. > > Maybe this application works better for documents that contain a lot of unique text. It does not function well for managing PDF forms where the same basic form is duplicated multiple times but requires unique data on each form. The only way I can make it work is to save forms as separate files. ----- ### "PDF-XChange" — 5.0/5 > **Sophi** | *21 October 2025* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: So many functionalities to the program. Ease to use. Can create anything from work documents to birthday cards. > > **Cons**: I do not have any specific complaints. Maybe an option for the system to automatically apply the form options. Although that might already be an option and our company may not utilize/pay for that. > > It has been great. I am able to create forms for our company. I am able to sign documents and create documents with a signature field. ----- ### "Best software for quick take-offs" — 5.0/5 > **FIn** | *17 November 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The measuring, layering \& take off software. I can also create new PDFs and re-organise PDF pages which is essential for my job. > > **Cons**: No cons so far, since we purchased a license. I would like it to remind me the scale i am using as i can often go between PDFs with different scales. > > I use this hourly for my role. Very good experience, i find most helpful the editing, commenting and layering. For drawing take offs, i can also export measurements. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/170838/pdf-xchange?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/170838/pdf-xchange) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
