Pros:

Easy way to elevate our collaboration offering by providing means for our users to annotate and then communicate on a file.

Enterprise level functionality but still easy to use

The pre-sales technical support was excellent and made it really fast and easy to spin up a POC .

Pros:

PDFTron was by far the most feature rich product offering we looked at. Also the fact that they don't just wrap another open source rendering engine like PDFium gave us confidence they had built their product from the ground up and had total control.

Cons:

The price tag was on the higher end compared to other alternatives but for enterprise software I think its worth it for all the features they offer. They were also flexible during pricing talks to find a comfortable landing spot that worked for both parties.

Reasons for choosing Apryse PDF SDK

It came down to the ownership of the rendering engine and ease of use of the API.

Reasons for switching to Apryse PDF SDK

Had a few different PDF related offerings integrated in the app. Some were open source and others were paid products. We were looking to consolidate to a single product that offered some expanded functionality we were looking to grow into using.

Support and PDF editing functionalities need a lot of improvements

We were Apryse customers for two years, but the experience was underwhelming. Customer support was minimal — the only time we could reliably speak with someone was right before renewal. We also couldn’t fully adopt the SDK in production due to numerous unhandled edge cases in its PDF editing API, and their team was reluctant to make improvements to address our needs.

Pros:

PDF viewer functionality is comprehensive - allowing people to view, search, annotate, edit and download.

Cons:

PDF editing APIs are not working for many cases - not matching fonts, styles, line spacing, layouts, etc.

Apryse in our Spring boot app and use of Word templates to PDF

Easy to set up in our Java Spring boot application and generated PDF from our Word templates get all layout right from our template, which is very important.

Pros:

Easy to generate PDF from Word templates. Works great with simple syntax in the template to generate dynamic tables with JSON-data input. It works great for us

Cons:

Should be easier to grant a license for unlimted generation of PDFs. Not always easy for a company to know how many PDFs they will create in a year

Pros:

We are very pleased to find that adding new features and migrating to a new version is so straightforward. The annotation tools are exactly what we needed for an internal document collaboration tool.

Cons:

Although there is nothing negative about what they offer today, I would like them to add additional PDF services. These issues often took a while to resolve, sometimes taking months, but they were ultimately fixed. Fortunately, older versions would still work which gave us the option of rolling back while waiting for a fix to arrive.

Pros:

PDFTron is an excellent application for working with PDFs. The SDK was simple to integrate into our program, and we have now extended it out to our application. Overall, it's an excellent product.

Cons:

It is difficult to configure and integrate the SDK with our software product. The documentation is also out of current, thus embedding takes time.
