PDF is one of the most widely used document formats in the world. That type of file, which has been and will continue to be the standard for document management, has remained at the forefront of popularity for nearly 30 years, although it is sometimes a problem for some users. Luckily, Wondershare has on the market a very useful tool for managing and editing this format, which I will discuss in-depth in this PDFelement Review.
PDFelement review: more than just a PDF reader
Since 1993, PDF has been the standard format in the world of computers, particularly in the handling of important documents, thanks to its “unalterable” capacity and its multiplatform visualization, making it a completely secure way to send and receive information.
The problem with the PDF format arises when you notice an error in the document or need to make some changes to it, as normal PDF viewers do not allow you to do anything inside the file. That’s where PDFelement comes in.
Wondershare introduces PDFelement, a powerful, comprehensive tool for working with PDFs. While there is multiple PDF editing software, not all areas complete or at least do not promise to be as complete as with Wondershare software.
PDFelement includes a very extensive list of more advanced settings, making it one of the most complete PDF solutions you can find on the web today.
However, PDFelement is not a complex application to use, but quite the opposite since it can be used by any user without so much experience thanks to its easy interface, very similar to other well-known programs such as Word.

PDFelement Review: everything you can do with the software
Having done a general review of the features offered by the program, I show you a little more in-depth everything you can do by using this PDF editor:
Create PDF
PDFelement allows you to create PDFs from Office files such as Excel, Word, etc., or from image files in GIF, BMP, JPG, etc., to HTML and even create them from any software using the parameter of printing with a virtual printer.
This utility for Windows has a simple interface, but at the same time powerful. Once opened the application you will find a screen with mosaics from which you can edit, convert, even process several batches of PDF files.
Edit PDF
Some of the tasks you can do include extracting useful information and compiling it into an Excel document. If you want to edit, you will have a screen that will remind you of the classic Word with its ribbon of buttons classified into tabs where you can edit almost any PDF. The best and most useful thing is that if the information is not stored as text, it will not be a problem, as it has a system to convert images into text.
Convert PDF
This function opens a window to choose the PDF file you want to convert to another editable format. The available options are Word, Excel, PowerPoint and various image files (GIF, BMP, JPG, TIFF, and PNG).
PDFelement Review | Combine PDF
This feature will allow the user to make a single PDF document from several file types, combining them together. This is very useful when you have information in an Excel, a Word, an HTML and in an image, and that you are interested in having them all together in a single PDF.
Just add all the files you want to combine or drag one by one to add them in the window.
PDF Template
This is an excellent feature, as it allows you to access an extensive list of templates ready to use and edit such as calendars, diplomas, letters, etc., so you only have to fill in what’s missing and edit whatever you want if necessary.
Handling of forms
In addition, PDFelement has advanced support for forms, facilitating communication with potential customers, as it is possible to create a template that you can send for others to add information, with which by filling in few data you will have a document ready in no time.
To fill out contracts easily, just use the PDFs created by PDFelement. In addition, if you have a Word document or other applications that contain a form, you can transform it into a PDF with an editable and fully customizable form, to which you can add the different fields you need.
Final thoughts
In conclusion, I can say that PDFelement is one of the best applications for editing and converting PDF files, as you can do virtually everything with this software, comfortably and intuitively, and with an interface similar to other popular programs on the market.
This PDFelement review closes by highlighting the enormous amount of options available to work with one or several PDFs at the same time, the ease of use and the low price offered by this software.
