I like the look and feel about it, and it is intuitive to use.
Down side - Compression is limited (e.g. compared to Adobe). Cannot open Adobe DC documents (pdf).

Everything you need for pdf
This program does more than I expected. It can do everything necessary for editing a PDF file, and I haven't used everything yet. I'm very happy with it.

Hi Adam. Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re glad to hear the program is exceeding your expectations. Enjoy exploring all its features!
Make use of your trial.
The software is significantly cheaper than rivals but maybe not as polished so trialling it is a good thing. They respond efficiently to queries.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your experience with the program and support team. We understand how concerning it can be to see renewal charges you weren’t expecting. Subscriptions are set to renew automatically unless canceled in advance, which may explain the charge you received. We'll be glad to review your account details, confirm the subscription status, and assist with any concerns. Please confirm your contact details in the request we sent you so we can email you.

Hi Gabriel,

Features are good but a few need improvement
Features are good. Some features like the signing of documents, editing of a PDF, routing of documents for signature does not send out emails correctly, etc. are some areas that need improvement.
Product is prompting for upgrade when I have a subscription to PDF Architect Pro and has been renewed to 4/2026.
Rest of the product is good. But for the above issues, I would like to give a 5 star rating.
