I am glad I found this. I have been going back and forth when all I need is to edit PDF documents and Adobe has lost their minds with the cost. Thank you

I have pdf element pro for my macbook pro when I travel or work at home. I have had it a few years now. There are a couple of features it doesn't have that adobe does, such as optimizing/compressing the file size smaller. However, it is inexpensive and still quite powerful and fast so I'm very happy with it.

Very Urgent, thanks at the beginning for your tutorial.
I would like to obtain two things:
1 Interactive QR Code within a fillable form, in Adobe Acrobat it's very difficult to have it works in Adobe Reader it changed to gray square.
2 Extract the filled data to our AS400 system.

Thanks in advance.

I have PDFelement Pro for 1 or 2 years now.
And everytime I open it I'm again amazed about all the things it can do for such a small prize.

Thank you for sharing this. My old employer had Adobe in every work computer; pretty easy to get used to!

I'm in uni and recently got Adobe since this semester is very PDF heavy; but the software seems the same as 6 years ago! You have to do workarounds for simple things such as "splitting pages in two halves" and the OCR seems to be that of OCR's earlier days. I've had better experience with Free OCRs.

Absolutely not worth the price. I'm definitely not resubscribing. The good thing about Adobe is that their "fill/sign" feature is very user friendly; but not that much easier that others

Now use Nitro over the years on Windows platform. Now that I have dropped Windows after yet another Microsoft lie that Window's 10 was going to be the last version, PDFelement might do everything I need it to do on my M1 MacBook Pro that I can purchase for $129.99 under a Perpetual Plan. Nitro has cost me more than that over the years.

So if you use Adobe Acrobat Pro for four years (typical computer life) at the $180 annual cost, that is $720, more the actual computer cost in some cases.

It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.

I've been using Nitro Pro 10, it was working fine until they offered me to upgrade to Nitro Pro 12 and I started having problems with files not saving as shown on my screen or showing as "Corrupted files" when I email the documents as attachments, today I'll try the PDF Element and I hope that will work for me. Thank you for making this video.

thank you Scott. From your video, I will go with Nitro Pro. But dose it split or extract single file from a large pdf file?

[fahadbashir]

I'm extremely glad that it was you who helped me crack this software

[ivanguerra]

Scott thanks for put this very helpful video. But free software and online services are interesting too. Your voice sound very professional, you have to consider the radio.

PDF X-Change Editor
is the best one.

Not marketing, it's just truth.

My work has PDF Element. I have found problems with the OCR feature in PDF Element. Specifically, text is mis-aligned or inaccurate. In my efforts to figure this out I scanned a document that was stamped by our office as "Received" with a date. Initially, it was scanned without being OCRed so when I opened it in PDF Element and completed the OCR function, this "Received" stamp was changed to "Deceived" with the date. This is not acceptable. Then I scanned the document with the office copier and used the copier OCR function and it scanned it accurately.

Foxit Pro the best. Tried them all it comes out on top. Followed by SODA pdf.

Hi Scott, I need to merge multiple Google Docs in to one single large pdf. I also need an interactive table of contents. What is my path of least expense? Will all three of these options do those jobs? Sure love your help!!!

[brunogenari]

Good video. Scott do you know if PDF Element has a password lock feature for personal documents

Afterall I brought Adobe Acrobat Pro by selling my kidney

I have had nitro pro for a week and I officially hate it. Too many steps to do anything. Really lags my whole system down. Just a pain in general.
