PROS

Lots of help: There are plenty of Video Tutorials that show you how to access various features. You can also make use of an Online Tutorial and User Manual to get a sense of how this program works. And there is Command Line Help available within the app as well.

Convenient interface: This app features a nice tabbed interface that provides access to the various tools you’ll need as you create or edit PDFs. Even without tutorials, you can find most items quickly, and they’re easy to access again whenever you need them.

Creation and conversion: In addition to editing PDFs, you can also create them through this program. That means you can make a completely new one from scratch, from multiple files, from a scanned document, or from the clipboard. And you can convert documents saved in other formats into PDF as well.

CONS

Trial registration: In order to use all of the features of the paid program during the trial period, you have to register with your full name, email address, company name, and phone number. Otherwise, you’ll only be able to access the program’s free features, which makes it hard to determine if you’d like to spend the money to purchase the full version.
