Great for pdf editing, eSignature service unreliable

4.0 last month New

Comments: Overall pleased with the price point for an esignature service and the HIPAA security features. Wish the eSigning tool was a little more reliable, but I suppose you get what you pay for.

Pros:

I use iLovePDF for the HIPAA secure esignature feature. I have used it a few times to edit PDFs.

Cons:

The esignature feature frequently is down and I have to wait to access it. The templates can be glitchy and haven’t saved me as much time as I had hoped.

IlovePDF for Educational Purposes

4.0 2 months ago

Comments: Overall it is a convenient and reliable tool for managing PDFs, especially for casual users and those who need a simple solution without installing software. It's efficient, accessible from any device with an internet connection, and ideal for quick, everyday PDF tasks. Overall experience is excellent.

Pros:

The ability to compress PDF files instantly at different level which is one of the best features used widely. ILOVEPDF allows users to process multiple files at once, which is particularly useful for tasks like merging or compressing multiple PDF files.

Cons:

If you want to workout with large PDF files (like compression) you will not able do it due to file size limitations in the free version. While many of the platform's tools are accessible without payment, the free version imposes restrictions on the size and number of files you can process.

We Love iLovePDF

5.0 last month New

Comments: PDFs can be challenging to work with. The word processing and document editing that has become so commonplace in Office/OpenOffice is trickier when dealing with PDFs. Since we have been in business, we have had to constantly decide between paying a tremendous amount (for our company) for Adobe software to be able to use a handful of the functions we need, or sacrificing quality and professionalism by using other file formats. With iLovePDF, we can utilize the features that we need without being financially burdened by having to purchase an entire software suite.

Pros:

The best part of iLovePDF is the simplicity of using it. We have worked with Office documents for years, but we have always had a "hands off" approach when it comes to PDFs. With iLovePDF, we can create, edit, and merge PDFs as easily if not easier than Word documents. This allows us to send out files that look much more professional when attached to e-mails than a simple "FILE.DOCX"

Cons:

It is free software, which obviously comes with certain drawbacks. If we were seeking to get rid of all other software and strictly use iLovePDF to handle our documents, we would be at a loss. However, when used in conjunction with other standard business software, iLovePDF becomes an invaluable tool that provides options that other software simply does not.

iLovePDF, Your No. 1 file converter, splitter and merger

5.0 last month New

Comments: Overall, iLovePDF gives me the freedom of converting, splitting and merging files accurately and at no cost which is really just amazing and user-friendly.

Pros:

What I like most about iLovePDF is that I am able to convert my files either pdf to word, jpg to pdf, etc., splitting files and merging PDFs easily, plus I can use it for free.

Cons:

I least like about it is that whenever I convert a jpg file to excel, it just cannot convert it accurately, usually I cannot effectively use this feature, because I just can't convert properly.

Pros:

The fact that you can edit, modify and convert documents very fast and easily.

A very handy tool, very simple, just a bit too expensive

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: We do not have enough need to equip all our collaborators with the market's leading solution. And we have a basic need: to convert, merge, and export documents in .pdf format. ILovePDF meets our need, and at a rate incomparable to the market's leading solution.

Pros:

Anyone who knows how to drag & drop can use "iLovePDF". The tool is disarmingly simple, and it saves us a lot of time. Gone are the days when we had to look for a colleague who had a license for the market's leading software to perform a conversion or merge documents from other formats. It was a relief to find such an online tool that is so simple!

Cons:

The price is a little high. 25% less would make us not hesitate to renew our plan. However, it is difficult to understand how personal or sensitive data within submitted documents is handled. This has prevented us from entrusting other types of documents to this solution, in light of GDPR.

Saves on conversion time!

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: ILovePDF is an extremely handy tool if you have multiple documents that require quick and accurate conversion. It is a huge time saver.

Pros:

The most useful feature of this software is the ease of which I can convert multiple documents at once. I have a daily requirement of needing to convert a large number of files, and this speeds up the process by allowing me to upload 10 documents at once as opposed to having to do this one by one on my Microsoft Office software

Cons:

I originally had some difficulty with setting up my signature for signing and it took some time to get it right as the software wasn't allowing me to upload my signature. However it worked after a page refresh.

The Best Online PDF Tools and It's 100% Free

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: I Love PDF is the best free PDF tools and It helped me to save a lot of time by giving me more option to deal with my PDF files with easy steps and I really don't need to waste my time looking for the tools offered by I Love PDF online one by one.
I'm sure their Team will keep giving us more and more tools to work with and we will keep sharing our great experience with this app.

Pros:

I like it because It's a 100% Free PDF tools and no need to install any program or app because everything is done online with just a few simple clicks. I like it because I can manage any PDF file and I can use the bulk option too. I can Merge, Compress, Convert, Separate, Edit, Resize, Watermark, Unlock any PDF file. It's easy to use online tools and no need to have any skills to create or edit your PDF files. It's a cloud-based app and no need to download or install any program or app on your laptop or pc or mobile device. I like the drag and drop option and I'm saving a lot of time and I really don't need to waste any time looking for the PDF file I want to edit. The compress tool is amazing, and I use it all the time because I get a small PDF file from a Large one. Privacy is very important for me and when I checked the I Love PDF FAQ page they talked about making our files secure and safe and It's good to hear that. You will get a high-quality file and you don't need to panic if it will work or not because you will get great results from any tool you use. They support a lot of languages, and their support is great and they offer some helpful articles about some topics also you can find a lot of videos talking about this website.

Cons:

The I Love PDF website is great but, I had some problems with the mobile app and I hope they can fix it very soon and improve it in the future. It's a cloud-based app and you need an internet connection to use it and the desktop option is not the best for a lot of us. I hope they can add more tools such as text to PDF for example. I hope they allow us to keep the same file size when we use the separation tool.

Perfect for E-Business Needs

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Firstly, I use iLovePDF to merge my business documents using my computer. I do not print separate documents and scan them as one document as I have been doing for a long time. This has saved my papers as well as printing inks, indirectly the environment too. Secondly, I often use split PDF option to organize my documents in a proper way. So I can easily extract only the document I need and it saves the capacity of my computer hard disk. Isn't it amazing? Thirdly, I quite often use protect PDF option for confidential documents when I store them in common drive. This is a crucial feature provided by iLovePDF. Finally, I use add watermark option to emboss my company identity when I issue documents to third parties. There are many more options in this amazing software for us to fulfill our e business needs in this competitive world. It has real value for money!!!

Pros:

Merging PDFs have become so easy thanks to iLovePDF. The easy drag and drop function has made the website much more user friendly than similar websites. Most importantly, you do not need to memories the sequence of your documents to upload in the same order one by one. iLovePDF offers you the preview of your document as well as the flexibility to move files in the right order. Therefore, you can easily change the order as you wish. I really love this feature. The other option I like most is converting PDFs to Word Documents. It is amazing. It will not give you a funny document, which you would find letters, and formats fly everywhere across the document after conversion. iLovePDF perfectly converts PDFs into Word documents. Finally yet importantly, there are no watermarks or hidden brandings in out puts, unlike other websites.

Cons:

I have not found any negative point in this iLovePDF. However, it would have been better if iLovePDF allow us to name our files appropriately before downloading. This is the only negative point I noticed but I am not sure whether that option is available or not.

Pros:

For me, a program which easily allows you to rearrange, merge, edit and electronically sign PDF files is critical to our day-to-day operations. The fact that I Love PDF is inexpensive compared to other programs is even better

Cons:

To be honest, there isn't anything that I dislike about this software. It does everything I need it to. It's straight forward and inexpensive.

Worth the money and makes my work easy

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: As a software engineer, I deal with documents daily. Having a software on which I can rely for all the basic document tools like merging, conversion, editing, etc helps me to be efficient in my daily life. I also get to keep my ppts as pdf, and then convert the pdfs back to presentations as needed. It helps me organize all the documents that I have. The steps for mering, splitting, etc are all very simple, intuitive and hassle-free. I also like the new signature tool.

Pros:

The features that I use the most are the merging and compression tools. Choosing files from different locations and folders and merging them is very easy using its merging tool. It is also very quick and I don't have to wait for it to merge documents. Many websites require documents of a specific size. Also sending smaller files/ documents is quicker. Hence I use the compression tool often to compress my pdfs to the required size.

Cons:

I don't have any problem with this software. The only thing I can suggest is that they can add epub to pdf conversion and vice versa, since epub is an increasingly popular document type.

A better alternate to some of the pricey PDF and Document Management solutions!!

Pros:

1. Catchy and Easy to use Interface2. A better pricing, especially small organizations and students can afford3. Great set of features like Split, Merge, Sign, Create and share documents4. Image to PDF is my go to feature5. Smooth and catchy GUI.

Cons:

Though it is a good tool with lots of features while coming to the aspect of Securing, Signing and Sharing the documents there is a doubt in its security. SInce most people switched from Adobe to this the confidence that Adobe gives on security is missing here. I think twice or thrice before uploading my personal documents in to this tool. Editing is not that great in this tool

review on the iLovePDF tool

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: My general experience is astounding, ILOVEPDF is an extraordinary internet-based stage to alter, scale down, a commodity to various organizations, and even twist the report. It's magnificent to have such a helpful device free of charge.

Pros:

The best thing about IlovePDF is that you can rapidly change over a record starting with one organization and then onto the next with practically no establishment of the product. I've been involving iLove PDF for more than four or five years now. It empowers me to effectively change over my archive into any configuration that I want, without forfeiting the nature of my record, and I would strongly prescribe it to any individual who needs speedy and bother-free transformation of reports. The whole interaction requires a couple of moments, and you should simply transfer your report to the site. From that point, you can promptly download it in your preferred configuration.

Cons:

One thing that I loathe about I love PDF is it has OCR highlight for nothing and on occasion, it makes jpeg or photographs of filtered pdf when changed over completely to word.
