Review Summary
Users appreciate Xodo's range of PDF editing tools, cross-platform availability, and smooth performance for tasks like merging and annotating. However, many are frustrated by the extension primarily being a gateway to the website rather than a full-featured tool. Frequent complaints include limited free usage with paywalls, inability to open PDFs in-browser natively, privacy concerns from file uploads, and awkward edit controls. While powerful features exist, the user experience and pricing model diminish value for those seeking a truly free or integrated PDF editor extension.
Pros
- Offers multiple useful PDF editing tools such as merging, annotating, and converting documents.
- Smooth and fast performance for basic PDF tasks.
- Allows note-taking and markup directly on PDFs, aiding in work and study.
- Available on multiple platforms including extension, PWA, and web, increasing accessibility.
- High quality PDF to Word conversion and specialized editing features like cutting parts of pages.
Cons
- Most features require payment or have strict usage limits, making free use very limited.
- Extension mainly redirects users to the website instead of providing functionality within the extension.
- Does not open PDF links directly in the browser with Xodo's viewer, unlike competitors.
- Privacy concerns due to documents being uploaded to their servers during editing.
- Poor user experience for simple edits; difficulty placing text boxes and confusing editing interface.
