I've not discovered any issues or challenges with the software so far. I'd argue this is a great pdf creator/ editor with a huge suite of functionality that should cater to most users. Compared to some I looked at prior to this software it is streaks ahead, I mean some editors really do not have a user friendly interface, or very appealing. Where as I could understand very quickly what was what and how to get on which the task I needed to fulfil. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Clean layout, intuitive, similar look and feel to Adobe Acrobat which made the conversion over much more seamless. Also the features and functionality is snappy, in that there isn't a delay, where other software's struggle with this especially switching out content such as imagery/ text etc. #### Cons Not much...the only suggestion I've found to improve the already great features is that on the page navigation panel selecting multiple pages you cannot click a page, then shift click one further along to select a range of pages. Ctrl click works which is still really great, I'm not being a [SENSITIVE CONTENT] here, just a small opportunity to improve an already well catered for product :). #### Reasons for switching to LightPDF Because I didn't buy into the CC plan. --- ### PDF Editor For 21st Ai Century - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: August 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
