I love the option of perpetual licensing which is the exact reason I purchased this over adobe. > > **Cons**: It sometimes (rarely) doesn't open as default even though it is set as default for PDF on my computer but other than that is excellent and poses no issues > > Excellent, would recommend to anyone and even considering purchasing the perpetual license upgrade. ----- ### "PDFelement Wonders" — 5.0/5 > **Charles** | *24 September 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to edit and work on a PDF as though I work on a word document > > **Cons**: None I can think of at the moment because it's been a good product. > > PDFelement is an all encompassing platform that gives you flexibility to maximize resources around a PDF ----- ### "Wonder no more" — 4.0/5 > **Jeremiah** | *29 August 2024* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really like the OCR function of this program. It's accurate about 95% of the time on things like scanned documents where you can clearly see the words. It even works with handwriting if you don't write like a doctor that is. > > **Cons**: The reason I gave this 4 stars, even though I like the program. I dislike very much the invasiveness of Wondershare products. Any program you download of theirs is almost impossible to completely uninstall from your hard drive. You'll see the main program gone, but if you look in the bowels of your file folders you'll always find remnants. > > I've used this for school quite extensively and it always works very well. ----- ### "Optimis Corp Review" — 5.0/5 > **Olivia** | *2 October 2024* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about PDFelement is how easy the software is to navigate. > > **Cons**: There is nothing I currently dislike about PDFelement. > > My overall experience with PDFelement has been nothing short of great. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/148193/pdfelement-6?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/148193/pdfelement-6) ## 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 | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
