PDFGear is the most complete PDF Editor / Management Tool I have had the chance to use, to the point I can see it is a superior alternative to Adobe Acrobat Pro; faster install and a far smaller install size.
From a consumer perspective, it is great with the free pricing. If the pricing model changes, for enterprise users customers, I fear many would be hesitant to chose it over Adobe due to pre-established provider agreements, track record, and inertia. I think if there is high visiblity of pro-consumer data handling, and enough trust is built, many small enterprise customers would be willing to choose PDFGear over Adobe.
Features that I think people may appreciate (as of 2025/10), but that are frankly just nice to haves.
- Find and Replace (there is find, but no replace currently)
- Freestyle drawing with a drawing pen (like in Word)
- Ability to select font and color of free text annotation
- Ability to search for a font (vs just scrolling fonts field) when editing text (it already matches current font, which is great)
What's great
