PDFelement Reviews

PDFelement seemed promising to begin with... and it really could be, if only they were not trying to rip-off their customers into purchasing more advanced plans (or plans they don't need!)
They do this I believe by once you made you purchase (example I purchased the year subscription, through my Apple account), I believe once an update happened, you will attempt to print or save a document without the watermark, and upon doing so it will request you purchase a new plan! You can select the refresh button, it will say refresh complete and then still demand a purchase of a NEW (MORE EXPENSIVE PLAN). If you try to select the plan you currently have (example, the yearly plan) it will say "you have already been enrolled in this plan." The truth is, if you have faults in your app, that take money from customers and give them ZERO product in return, that is STEALING! If this is an "app malfunction" then you should not have your app on the store with products / plans for sale. BUYER BEWARE.

I bought Pro Perpetual license so I could export images from my PDFs to mark up and so I could sign paperwork.

The UI is a mess, it took me some time to find the sign option on desktop and when I put PDFelement on my iPad it wouldn’t carry over my license. You sign in with your Wondershare ID in PDFelement , but on the desktop app it just uses your Apple ID. I tried everything to get access on iPad. Connected my Apple ID to my Wondershare account, (there’s no option to restore purchase) tried to enter the order number I got, tried to recover the receipt on Wondershare via all my A ID connected emails, to no avail.

I also tried signing on desktop and it wouldn’t let me sign paperwork. I’d rather take screenshots than us a product that doesn’t work.

I filed a case with Apple to get my money returned.

I loved PDFelement and purchased it. I had in mind to get a corporate license if they have one. I’m on day six and three emails sent to support. I have not received any sort of acknowledgment. The original problem stemmed from not being able to login on a second device. It says I have the wrong password. I do not have the wrong password. I use all of the same passwords for every app I use for business. However,I wouldn’t know if I accidentally entered in the wrong password because it only required me to enter the password once. There was not an option to confirm the password on the initial account setup. Trying to set a new password is impossible because I do not get the emails PDFelement says it’s sending. Now, after being on the phone for 20 minutes waiting on a customer care rep, an automated voice came back and said no customer care rep is available at this time. I’m demanding a refund and do not recommend this program.

I use PDFelement only because it allows me to swave as a pdf. But using it on iphone or ipad is far inferior to PDF Pen.... Pro...

1. I cannot find how to show table of contents ... my fiddle tunes are sorted on the table of contents so I can quickly find what I want and when I tap on it PdfPenpro takes me to that page. I can not find that feature in Element.

2. When I do search in element it shows me the page but does
not take me to that page when I touch on the title.

These are mandatory features and when I went to the wondershare website I could not find where to let them know since maybe the features are there but I can not find them?

I do us other Wondershare Products and love them.

I have two issues, looses the place in a document most of the time. Every time PDFelement updates one must log back in. since it updates at least once a week, it is a real pain.

The latest update fixes the second issue. It still does not open a pdf file at the last place one was at.

I use PDFelement to read books in PDF format.

Using dark mode on OLED screens is a great way to conserve energy, since individual pixels can be powered on/off (i.e., black pixels require no power).

Neither the pro nor non-pro version support iOS dark mode. However, I can achieve it with a bit of a hack in the non-pro version. Invert the colors under accessibility options, open the PDF, and double click on the text to remove PDFelement header. At that point, all that is visible is the text in white.

But you cannot double click to remove the header/footer in the new pro version. So I will unfortunately have to continue to use the old version if I want to save my battery.

I recently downloaded this PDF editor and honestly I didn’t know what to expect. I imported a couple of PDF’s and started using the built-in tools to edit them. I am very surprised and how well it works. You can easily edit text, add highlights, underline, add a bold font, etc.
PDFelement is very easy to use and user friendly. I gave it 4 stars because when you want to export the PDF, it leaves a watermark.
Otherwise, PDFelement is a must for anyone looking to edit PDF’s both on mobile or on desktop.

I got PDFelement on my old phone a while back, and i just have to say that it was extremely easy to use! The overall interface of it was user friendly, which made the pdf application i was filling out very easy to do! I would definitely recommend PDFelement to anyone who needs to do quick things on a pdf! I would try it again & even purchase the premium version!

All the features of this app are just awesome. I discovered all it’s amazing features like – reading, recognizing, text editing, scanning, copy text from any scanned and image PDF. Moreover, it supports 23 languages which is the best part for different users I think.

Print and share the edited PDF directly through many ways has becọme really really very easy with Wondershare this app. My office life has becọme better with PDFelement. honestly speaking. Also, I am able to cọmbine multiple PDF files into a new PDF document.

As a part-time tutor in the coaching sessions, I used to grade the tests, and it was a hectic process. With this app in my life, physical papers are easily converted from image to PDF documents to annotate them better. I can access the software on iPad and use the markup tools to grade whenever I want to. ​    ‍

PDFelement is one of the best apps on the markets for anything PDF. It’s editing ability is top of the line and it’s ease of use is very easier for even the most inexperienced user. Anyone who deals with PDFs regularly is missing out by not having an app like this!

This is a very powerful document app. However there is some features that the developer can consider adding in such as text to audio or read aloud function and the use of Apple Pencil with pawns rejection.

My responsibilities revolve around handling an extensive team of IT engineers. I scan all physical, legal documents, and financial statements and upload them on the server so that my team can access them. Wondershare this app makes this whole process easy. I can also merge PDF to keep reviewing the documents easily. ‌    

Wow, PDFelement sure is a great app. It opened my PDFs and I was even able to draw on the PDFs and export them. Drawing and exporting on PDFs on my iPhone? I never thought I’d be able to do it! It can open some templates I use for games and it can even fill in the boxes on those templates. I’m giving this 5/5 stars for just a phenomenal, simple to use app that I’ll be sure to come back to time and time again.

A lot of people I know don’t have access to a scanner or printer at home and PDFelement is really a lifesaver. It makes working with documents easy to do just right on your phone. I work with clients who have to submit documents as well and I’m constantly recommending PDFelement to help speed up the process. It makes things quick and easy and it’s greatly appreciated!

Search for an app to annotate pdf, i know that i have to pay for it. But PDFelement made me surprised when all the functions are totally FREE. I thought the free one will just offer some basic one. But in this amazing app, i mean all necessary functions are free. I swear that you will have your pdf annotated perfectly with no money (if you dont mind the watermark)
To sum up, for a student like me who dont have much money and have tons of assignments to do online, I really appreciate the team's effort for providing us this wonderful app. Thank you

I have used a few different types of editors and so far this app has become my go to. The user friendly interface makes it easy for a person like me that is not so great at editing feel like Im a pro. One thing I like using is the Multitask feature on my iPad, being able to view and work on 2 pdf’s at the same time helps me be more productive. I also like the feature that lets me merge 2 pdf’s, this has helped me out on a few occasions! Overall I like what I see and will continue to use this as my editor of choice.

The options in Wondershare this app are exquisite! While I was stuck across Adobe Acrobat, I came across this PDF editor with a variety that impressed me the moment I installed it on my iOS device. I had to face a lot of embarrassment while using Adobe Acrobat for filling up forms. It wasn't easy to manage files across my iPhone and iPad, which was completely turned upside down ever since I got in touch with this app. From being a simple PDF editor, the tool can now be used to fill, edit, scan and convert documents with ease. this app is a perfect alternative to Adobe fill and sign available in the market.

I have upgraded from this app basic free version to this pro version, it’s supposed that the paid pro version should contain all features that are in basic free version, isn’t it ?
But for sorrow after I paid and upgraded to this pro version I found it doesn’t have the feature to convert PDF files into another formats like in the free version, I hope you should add this feature to the pro version in future updates,
Otherwise you have fooled us.

Needed an application that would help me create and fill out PDF forms. this app Pro does the task. In terms of performance and features, it is a great app. It can extract data from PDF files, and the identical extraction rules help extract data from documents with a similar layout.

this app having the ability to actually edit text and images within the PDF document is fantastic. Other software can barely handle either

I just can’t believe how incredible PDFelement is. It really is too good to be true and I am very shocked that it’s entirely free. This is definitely my go to appIn reference to All and Any documents I have to distribute. I gave five stars but really should be 10👍🏼

I can easily locate a file through the search and sort functions and view them in list display mode or grid mode.

this app makes highlighting of PDF information quite easy because it only requires you to choose the said text and choose a suitable color.

It is a very good software for PDF documents since I can easily highlight the most important things and maintain the quality and authenticity of the document.

I used the free version for a while and loved it. I love the paid version even more. I’m always on the go with my special needs son and PDFelement allows me to create, combine or sign documents on the go from my iPad and my iPhone.
