PDF X

PDF, which stands for the Portable Document Format, is one of the most used formats for documents. It is an excellent asset for including text formatting, along with images and other elements in such a way that it does not depend on the different operating systems that exist out there. However, to be able to view a PDF file, we sometimes need special programs that support the format. PDF X is a Windows 10 application that not only reads PDFs but also permits users to edit them.

This program supports several other extensions besides the PDF. It can also open PS, Tiff, DjVu, XPS, ODT, EPub, Fax, and others. It also opens PNG, JPG, and other image files. The program works flawlessly with each of the beforementioned types of extensions and more. Also, PDF X can export documents in plain text in the DOC format so that users can access them with Microsoft Word or other similar programs.

This application is also useful for editing documents. Do not expect it to edit PDFs as reliably as a premium software, but it can be helpful to highlight text, remove, add or change annotations, and much more. It permits users to digitally sign PDF files and add stamps according to their preferences. It also features some basic functions for a PDF reader, such as bookmarks, zoom, and various text selection methods, among others.

Overall, the application does what it promises to do — it reads PDF files while it also features some basic editing tools. It functions easily and doesn't seem to come with any significant bugs. On the downside, the Help section in PDF X doesn't work, at least at the time of this review, so it might be challenging for some users to know how to use all the functions that the program offers.
