Spotsaas Editor’s POV

PDFescape has become my go-to tool for quick and reliable PDF editing without the need for costly software. I love how easy it is to edit, annotate, and fill out forms directly in my browser, saving time and eliminating the hassle of installing heavy applications. The ability to add text, images, and signatures makes it perfect for everyday professional tasks. ...Read more

PDFescape pros and cons

  • PDFescape offers a fully functional online editor that allows users to edit, annotate, and fill out PDF forms without requiring downloads, making it highly accessible for individuals and small businesses.

  • Users can insert text, add images, annotate documents, create forms, and even protect files with passwords, covering a wide range of PDF management needs.

  • The platform works seamlessly with major browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, ensuring flexibility regardless of device preference.

  • With built-in tools for creating and filling forms, it supports businesses and freelancers who require regular use of interactive PDF forms.

  • While the online version is free, some advanced tools like text and image editing, compression, and merging require the desktop version or a premium upgrade.

  • PDFescape currently lacks a dedicated mobile app, limiting convenience for users who prefer working on smartphones or tablets.

An Awful Product - Avoid

Prior to the revamp of the product, it was wonderful. Now, it is a mess. I cannot cancel the subscription. I tried via their website, several times, emailed and received tons of responses claiming their backlogged. My bank account has pending charges for a product I do not use. I want OUT but no one is assisting me. I will block them from my bank account. Take a few minutes to explore other services instead of this one.

Completely unusable.

Completely unusable. PDFEscape decided to do a major upgrade in December 2022 Now you can't do a simple copy text and paste into the document. Among other strange usability issues. I probably have told over 10 people about this product. They are all disappointed and now scrambling to find a pdf editor. We all used it to fill in legal documents, subscription docs, purchase agreements, and more Please revert to the last version for the sake of all the innocent children who will one day ...

PDFescape is now unusable

Very disappointed with PDFescape. I used to use this a lot and it was very quick and easy to use. Since the update, it is now the worst PDF editor out. Who ever reviewed, tested and signed off on this new version should not be employed.

Beyond terrible update.

I just want to chime in here that this new update is terrible. I used to use pdf-escape all of the time. I recommended it to colleagues regularly who who all loved it. It's truly unusable now. I can't even begin to list all the things wrong with the update. What were the creators thinking??? This update is so bad that I keep thinking that Adobe sabotaged the app.

So amazingly bad and wonky that I can't…

So amazingly bad and wonky that I can't find words in the English language that adequately describe my astonishment in this poorly thought out "upgrade". Have used this tool for years and now can't do a simple whiteout edit. Oh wait, 💩 best describes this company's product now.

Worst "Upgrade" Ever!

I've worked with the free online version of PDF Escape for YEARS. The recent upgrade (I can't really call it an "upgrade") is terrible. It is no longer the stress-free, user-friendly site it once was. I have tried to "relearn" how to apply the tools to edit pdfs and each time, something completely wonky happens. Where in the past this one of my "go to" sites, it is now a site I cannot use and will never recommend. Whoever was in charge of the change, you created a subpar, completely non ...

Useless product - Bought the premium pack with desktop…

Bought the premium pack with desktop but it does not work. No amount of asking for a refund worked. They kept trying to correct the issue but could not and then finally they tell me the period to cancel is over. Poor company...... Needs some money. It is better they just ask for donations. It's better than cheating people. Just another company in Canada going the American way!
