I can edit PDFs, add text or images, and notes (when reviewing others' documents) > > **Cons**: Still the free version's watermark. Understandable, but it's a "con" for me; the full version is awesome ----- ### "Simplified PDF." — 5.0/5 > **Remya** | *22 March 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: PDFelement is very unique and easy to use in conversion of docs to pdf. The most attractive part of it, PDFelement helps me to summarize pdf files. > > **Cons**: PDFelement is easy to use for pdf management. > > PDFelement is assisted by AI which simplifies pdf management. ----- ### "Buggy" — 4.0/5 > **Anna** | *3 September 2019* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's inexpensive, and has a lot of great features. You can simply use it to stamp signatures , you can draw on the pdfs and add text or photographs, you can hightlight etc, convert to OCR .... OR...you can write your own fillable forms. > > **Cons**: It's buggy. When editing or writing fillable forms, it tends to freeze up. The next thing on my list, is that it's slow to use to draw over pdfs. Re-selecting the tools manually is a drag. I wish you could set the tool as default unless reselecting ----- ### "PDFelement is a Superb Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 January 2026* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is great value for money and my documents are secured.

You are requested to check before invest > > Overall it’s a great co-office tool, and can be the part for your essential bucket of day to day Softwares ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/145759/pdfelement?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/145759/pdfelement) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
