Key Features in PDF-XChange Editor

One thing that we can commend PDF-XChange Editor about is the number of features delivered. In fact, you may be surprised to learn that it has more features to offer and at a lower price point compared to the popular Adobe Acrobat software. The best thing is that some of these features have been refined and enhanced in a way that beats many apps out there.

In the instance of multiple documents containing related content, it is usually tedious and time-consuming to handle all the documents as single entities. Luckily, PDF-XChange Editor Plus provides a simple and straightforward way to combine or join these files into a single document. While you can just join the documents as they are, you can tweak this a bit to obtain just specific pages, or page ranges from each document to get rid of the other unnecessary pages.

Moreover, you get to choose how comments, form fields, ad bookmarks will be handled in the output document. This way, you can always share just the important information and save a ton of time and effort.

Using Layers in PDF documents

PDF-XChange Editor Plus is among the few PDF programs that allow for the use of layers in documents. Layers come in handy when you need to toggle the visibility of certain content based on some conditions like the system locale.

For instance, you can add a layer that carries annotations, which means you will have a button that can quickly and automatically show or hide the annotations.

Mind you, when you are creating a layer it is prudent to double-check the functions because some of the options cannot be adjusted once the layer is created. An example is where some layers can be automatically triggered on or off depending on the chosen radio group in a form. Some of the most common uses of layers in PDF files include;

• Sorting comments – Stamps, pop-up notes, highlights, and more can be categorized into accessible groups that can be shown or hidden from the layers pane with ease. And the good thing is that multiple comments can be added to a layer in batch mode.

Review a Document

PDF-XChange Editor helps you to review a document to obtain specific information and even make necessary corrections where necessary.

With this tool, you can apply text correction (underline, highlight, replace, etc), spell check to correct spelling mistakes, count the number of words, lines, and characters, add/delete comments, list/view comments in a PDF, and even flatten comments as you see fit. Through this review feature, collaborating on documents is facilitated.

While Adobe Acrobat Pro is considered the market leader in the PDF industry, it still gets a good share of competition from PDF XChange Editor. When put side by side;

• PDF XChange Editor is way more affordable compared to Acrobat Pro.
• PDF XChange Editor presents a one-time perpetual license while the counterpart requires a subscription-based plan.
• In terms of value for the user, PDF XChange Editor has proven to be the fan-favorite.
• XChange Editor presents a more robust approach to the whole document process, especially features-wise, compared to Adobe Acrobat Pro.
• PDF XChange Editor takes a more minimalistic nature and therefore consumes way less disk storage compared to Acrobat Pro, and at no expense of features.

• You will appreciate the ongoing quality of product support offered by Tracker Software in comparison to what you get on Adobe.
• For roadmaps and feature updates, PDF XChange Editor takes the day.

Even with that Adobe Acrobat Pro still has a name when it boils down to features like multi-platform availability and working from the cloud.
