Important Notes:
Some features detailed above may be included in a bundle product rather than the named application. For example the Mark-up & Commenting functions available are provided via PDF-XChange Editor (as a stand-alone application or as part of the PDF-XChange PRO bundle) - and not in the PDF-XChange Standard printer or PDF-Tools applications independently.
We strongly advise all users to download and test the evaluation versions prior to purchase in order to avoid disappointment, as refunds are only offered in the event that serious and uncorrectable flaws are uncovered. All evaluation versions downloaded can be converted to licensed installations by simply re-installing the same download and inserting a legitimate serial number.
This product comparison chart is not an exhaustive list all features and functions - merely an indication of the minimum features provided within each product bundle. Further information on the features of each product is available here.
Charity and Academic Discounts: We are pleased to further our efforts to support non-commercial, community-based service entities, organizations, employees, students, faculty and staff with an array of special product releases, specialized license offerings and generous charitable and academic discounts to qualified customers and institutions.
