PDFInfoGUI

PDF files can be difficult to navigate on occasion and, for those who work with them regularly, getting key information from them and having to open them repeatedly can be a chore. With PDFInfoGUI, users can load entire folders of PDF files into the application to display key information directly.

The application has a minimalistic approach, it does exactly what is advertised and can list as many PDF files as needed. It can display the key information of the PDFs within the application, but only assuming they are well made. PDFs that are created poorly and tagged poorly will display a bunch of empty columns and the application offers no solution for this. A way to edit missing information into the application would be a useful addition, but not an essential one.

All the menus and settings are clearly displayed, easily accessed and users will have no difficulty getting the application to perform. It takes only a moment to load large quantities of files into the application and their details appear almost instantly. The quick access icons included are a nice addition to the application, however they are a bit small to click easily.

The application has a few extra features that might come in handy for some users. The option to export the information as a CSV file is handy and means that users can load the file into other table based applications. An addition that gives the application more versatility.

Arguably PDFInfoGUI’s most useful feature is the ability to launch the PDF files from within the application. While an edit option would be useful as well, being able to open the PDF directly and check anything helps streamline any work.

In conclusion, the application is very practical and good at what it does. It could do more, but it doesn’t advertise to do more, so there is no real issue. PDFInfoGUI remains a good choice for anyone who works with multiple PDFs on a regular basis.
