PDF Architect Reviews

Summary: Used for years now and works well although it does not appear to be able to fully convert a PDF to an editable word document.

Positive: The app is all embracing and works well and have been using 2 versions for many years and I find them both quick and easy. I would like a proper conversation to an editable word document.

Negative: Nothing all works well with the various attributes however a proper conversation from PDF to a word document would be good.

Summary: 99.52% satisfied. Not going back to the Standard version if I want to be as productive as I need to be. Oh, whether it's AI bot or a real person, the Chat made the process of upgrading to Pro easy and painless. It/she (Mary) let me have a discount based on the fact I already had purchased the Standard version about 6 months prior. Nice. Definitely sticking with Pro till I retire in 3 years.

Positive: PDF Architect 9 Pro has all the editing, security and conversion features I need on a daily basis. I tried the Standard version for the past 6 months, down from using the Pro version from 2022 til May this year. Standard worked great however my work scope expanded unexpectedly and I needed the other features available only in Pro. It's damned reliable, accessible and easy to get my work done. Simple as friggin that.

Negative: I tried to upgrade to Pro from my desktop app in the account management section but it went to a webpage no longer exits kinda thing. Not sure why that couldn't be fixed in a software update to the desktop app.

The Standard version was sometimes slow, and me too impatient surely, when stitching PDF documents together to form a single document. Not terrible, just slow. Probably heavy processing involved, but it would seem to freeze for a while and I wasn't sure the changes were made.

Summary: User-friendly and easy to use. Never fail my expectations in terms of the features of the software.

Positive: Almost flawless in the program design. The merging of files from various types of file extensions helped me to easily compile a report.
The insertion of the watermark is effortless and nice.

Negative: I can't think of any at the moment.
Whatever I need and expected in the software, it can do.

Summary: A good experience with PDF Architect. The program generally does what I require. I have used this in the past and will continue to do so.

Positive: Program works well and is easy to use. It does all that I need to deal with PDF's in a clear and efficient way.

Negative: Need to register even for free version. Pricing is per year and not forever which is a downside to buying the premium versions.

Summary: Positive. I think the product is very good and I enjoyed using it for reports. I am not sure it was needed to record payments, donations and receipts.

Positive: That my comments about not wanting to renew contract were acted on immediately and much appreciated!

Negative: The renewal of the contract happened automatically and was charged against my credit card. I would have liked more notice so I could advise that I no longer needed the PDF service

Summary: GREAT Experience with Steve & Chat.

Positive: I had a problem activating my account. Steve analyzed the issue and walked me through the fix. Great Job

Negative: Nothing,.

Summary: Perfect alternative to Adobe Acrobat. Compress pdf, split, merge, add images, its a brilliant product.

Positive: Been using the product since 2017. Able to edit documents. Add images as signature. Merger documents and even split them.

Negative: Not found anything wrong about the product. It is perfect.

Summary: I use PDF Architect as supplemental support to my existing Adobe Acrobat Pro desktop subscription which does not offer the much beloved "whiteout" feature.

Positive: Easy to use; especially like the "whiteout" feature under the Comments section which allows any undesired areas to be erased.

Negative: Would prefer a stand-alone purchase option rather than an annual subscription which must be renewed annually. Even a 2- to 3-year subscription at a discount would be much appreciated.

Summary: I can use this product without getting stressed. The software is very well designed and the package can be supported on five computers for a one time price.

Positive: This product is very easy to use with excellent support if required. The software is very keenly priced.

Negative: Putting in the password can be a problem for first time use.

Summary: It is a very easy hands on tool, i recommend it to all user professional or non professional; the online support is very reactive.

Positive: First I was using pdf (standard) for a while and then iI decided to improve and update towards pdf-Architect ; also it was more affordable in comparison with Adobe.

Negative: Honestly I don't have any issues that keep me from choosing this product.

Summary: Very satisfied customer with the user-friendly app and excellent customer support. The best part is the price.

Positive: I like the user-friendly application.

Negative: None. I am very much satisfied with the product. Not found any cons of using the product so in my view there is no cons in my opinion.

Positive: Easy to use. New version has features that is useful. I use only for limited functions not the total features.

Negative: Page up-down not possible with scroll.
OCR has sometimes problem.

Summary: The support system via chat is excellent. As a matter of fact, since I was once informed that there is no support for Architect 7 PRO +OCR, I had almost decided to stop subscribing. Now, I will continue to renew so long as the support for Architect 7 PRO + OCR is made available.

Positive: I had purchased Architect 7 and after upgrading, I was asked to work on Architect 9 which was not comfortable for me. Today, one Mr. Andrew solved the issue online via chat.

Negative: The interface tools buttons and the customisation of the tools which were available in Architect 7 could not be found in Architect 9.

Summary: PDF Architect is a useful product and in addition the after sale service is good too. They care and respond quickly to my request.

Positive: Very useful tools to add quickly a signature in a document or complete required field in contract document for example instead of print and scan manually.

Negative: Unfortunately the basic version software is too limited.

Summary: Following a hard drive failure, it was impossible to reinstall my old pdf version on my new computer. With the help of the support, I was able to resubmit my application and find all the specifications, in particular that of being able to create a PDF file from a scanner.

Positive: The speed of the response to help me out. Received an email with all the explanations for the download, and for the installation and implementation of the product.

Negative: N/A.
