What do you like best about PDF-XChange Editor?
Software integration with Microsoft Office through the ribbon the way Adobe Acrobat products do. It's also able to share newly created portable documents using a 64-bit Microsoft Outlook plugin.
PDF-XChange Editor Plus is very light on memory and CPU resources comparing to Adobe Acrobat Pro or ABBYY Finereader PDF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about PDF-XChange Editor?
PDF-XChange PRO's OCR is very inaccurate even using Tracker Software's Enhanced OCR Plugin. I don't mean recognizing a low quality scan or a fax, but a locally generated invoice. It's trying to "fix" my business' email address, so I had to correct it myself time and time. After this kept on happening I OCRed the same invoice with Adobe Acrobat's and ABBYY Finereader PDF's latest versions and they were accurately recognizing the text of my invoice.
For me PDF-XChange Standard Printer virtual driver is generating low quality PDF files comparing to Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat's PDF printing drivers. Generated document's fonts look terrible.
I find Tracker Software's extended policy is not very transparent. For example if one had bought PDF-XChange PRO V7 and had extended maintenance until after Tracker Software released V8 of their software incl. Enhanced OCR Plugin, the maintenance does cover the OCR plugin, but once maintenance period ends one needs to buy PDF-XChange PRO V8 or renew extended maintenance. Otherwise Enhanced OCR Plugin will just not work anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
