You can search documents and modify parts depending on the function and license. This is useful for forms, correction rounds and preparing PDFs.
Not all visible features are free. Using a function for which you do not have a license can produce a watermark. Therefore, before saving, check that your chosen action is covered by your license, especially for documents you want to send directly.

Our verdict
PDF-XChange Editor is especially useful when PDFs are a recurring part of your work. You can make comments and corrections in the same environment where you read the document. This is more straightforward than always switching between a viewer and individual online tools.
The licensing limit does require attention. Look in advance which operations you really need and whether they are included in the free or paid execution. Create a trial file and check the stored PDF for watermarks and formatting. For reading only, a simpler program is enough; regular annotation and editing can save a lot of effort.
