>

### "Simple and Straightforward" — 5.0/5

> **Oluwalonimi** | *18 June 2025* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I love most about the application is the fact that I am able to edit and sign documents quite easily. I also love the fact that I can convert documents from pdf to word format.
> 
> **Cons**: What I like the least is that, for the free version, you are limited to one functionality per day or per email,
> 
> I would say my overall experience is good as the application is quite simple and straightforward to use

-----

### "A good document editing tool" — 5.0/5

### "Flexible and effective" — 5.0/5

> **Carol** | *19 May 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is flexible - more so than Adobe. Also seems pretty good functionality. I used it for collating scanned documents into one PDF.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing bad. I would just like to know what I will miss out on if I cancel Adobe - I don't want to pay for both. I suspect SmallPDF is cheaper and also has that flexibility. Plus I found it more intuitive than Adobe.
> 
> It is one of the IT tools I have a good feeling about and enjoyed using. I look forward to comparing it with Adobe when I get time.

-----

> **Clare** | *1 October 2026* | Research | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very proficient at converting PDFs to Word in a way that doesn't mess up the formatting, and very intuitive layout.
> 
> **Cons**: Unfortunately the PDF editing tool is very slow and glitchy, and I had to abandon it after my document froze twice and I lost all my edits.
> 
> The Support team were fantastic and very responsive, particularly Arvie - however the editing tool needs some work\!
