Excellent app. Versatile and easy to use but I need to edit my recent review because after the Pro mode expired and switched to the free version, a series of watermarks appeared throughout the document, making it completely inconvenient to read. It's perfectly acceptable for the free version to have usage limitations, but if these limitations go beyond what's comfortable for the reader, they become annoying. Under these conditions, it's impossible to share information properly. Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback. We provide a free trial, allowing users to explore and experience the app before making a purchase. However, it does include a watermark on the completed files or a usage limit. If you wish to save files without a watermark, upgrading to the premium version will unlock membership benefits.

I use PDFelement on my desktop and would not recommend any other app for anyone working with PDF frequently. It's the best one I have found, you edit, sign, create, search, and so much more with this app. I have been using it for over 5 years. I use the mobile app version mainly for viewing, so I can't speak on what the mobile version does, but it looks to have most if not all the same features as the desktop version. I have the yearly Pro plan, so I'm not sure what the free plan comes with.

Excellent and cost effective alternative to Adobe. Lots of improvements over the past couple of years. My only beef is that the version type is updated so often that buying a "perpetual" license is almost meaningless - you pretty much have to upgrade to the latest version yearly or more just to have access to all the features. Smaller incremental updates to stretch the effective usefulness of each version to at least a few years would make it a far greater value.
