Considered Both Products	BlinkDMS Colin Tiller Sales Development Representative Chose BlinkDMS The simple design of BlinkDMS is my preference. Especially when it comes to new employees. Currently using dropbox and we struggle to find things where more frequently than when I had used BlinkDMS. Incentivized Helpful?	Smallpdf Verified User Anonymous Chose Smallpdf We actually never used other products like this. When we found SmallPDF it met our needs instantaneously.

Incentivized Helpful? AS Abraham Smythe Head of Acquisition Chose Smallpdf Smallpdf is a basic PDF editor platform.

DJ DILIP JAIN Software Engineer Chose Smallpdf As per my understanding, Smallpdf stacks up against the above tool because it is easy to use, the targeted goal only for pdf, handy, and one more thing is that small pdf has created the application for android and iOS. I really found Smallpdf helpful when using it on the fly. … Incentivized Helpful? Ankit Kumar Sr UI UX Designer Chose Smallpdf Adobe is not so quick. It takes a lot of effort to do a job in it. but small PDFs do the same job as in the second. Even adobe acrobat does not have as many features as Smallpdf. Smallpdf is like an ocean because you don't know ocean depth so a small pdf has so many features. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Smallpdf Smallpdf has a wonderful free version and is extremely simple to use. Adobe Acrobat can be a bit jumpy and heaven forbid you click on the wrong icon and it will ask you to sign in over and over again.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Smallpdf I think that Smallpdf stacks up against its competitors in terms of easiness of use. The tool is very user-friendly, every feature is communicated in an efficient way and very simple to user so the user doesn't have to be particularly good at using software. Its features are … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Smallpdf This is a more ethical decision. Adobe tends to lock you into their products and then charge you to end your contract.

Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Smallpdf While extremely useful and feature rich, PDF xChange does not have the ability to work with multiple files at the same time as efficiently as Smallpdf. It is also a traditional desktop software which means being constrained to one specific PC. Incentivized Helpful? AM Aura Munguia Cepeda Profesional de la enseñanza Chose Smallpdf PDFfiller has other functions that make it a bit more complicated to use, it is also slower than Smallpdf when it comes to any type of conversion.

DM Darren Megginson Software Quality Assurance Analyst Chose Smallpdf Smallpdf is accessible online as a web-based .pdf solution not like many software that must be installed on a computer. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Smallpdf I used to convert my PDF files with LightPDF software. But It was slightly difficult for me to navigate on that software.

User Testimonials
	BlinkDMS	Smallpdf
Likelihood to Recommend	A big organization. Where documents need to be shared or viewed by multiple parties. Easy upload and understanding with very little training needed. This helps workflows and saves time. We did run into issues where there was no multi language option Incentivized Colin Tiller Sales Development Representative Read full review	I would suggest Smallpdf for simple needs in terms of PDFs management that can be [easily] resolved such as: size compression, deleting of pages and file conversions. This tool is very user-friendly and easy to use, it is available online so the user doesn't need to download any software. In case of heavy files compression, the tool isn't appropriate since it doesn't support heavy documents. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	UX Data implementations User count Electronic signature support Incentivized Colin Tiller Sales Development Representative Read full review	One of the best things that Smallpdf does is pdf conversion both to and from pdf. It is especially great to transform pdf tables into Excel documents. PDF splitting is really great since allows for cropping large files and just keep the information necessary; something that comes really handy when presenting information to your supervisors. PDF merging also works wonders, it allows for mixing several different pdf documents into just one of them. It is extremely easy to set up. This a really fast pdf reader, it feels really fast compared to other options that tend to feel clunky. Its workspace is super comfortable and well organized so finding a tool you need is always a simple task. Incentivized Manuel Aguilar Geophysical Coordinator Read full review
Cons	More UX options Long download Better way to file within a file Incentivized Colin Tiller Sales Development Representative Read full review	It has everything I'm not sure what I will say. E-sign, Share, convert. You can give an option in upload priorities features which I can see later. Background remover thing also you can add in it. So I can remove the unnecessary thing from an image. You can add a chatbot for help. Incentivized Ankit Kumar Sr UI UX Designer Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	Its usability in my work is very important. I have to share various documents with my clients very frequently and most of the documents I send them are in PDF format only. So I use this software very much to convert my Word and Excel files into PDF. And whenever I need to send large file to my clients, I convert them into PDFs and compress them with this tool and then I send those files to my clients.

Performance	No answers on this topic	1.- Because it is easy to use and each function is duly indicated so you can not go wrong. 2.- Its service is fast, it takes only a few seconds to transform the files and in less than a minute it is downloaded and you can occupy it without problem. 4.-This IS online so you do not install anything, which is very useful because you can also use it from a tablet or your mobile AM Aura Munguia Cepeda Profesional de la enseñanza Read full review

Return on Investment	Time Organization. Prevents mistakes Awareness of system. Was easy to say its in Blink Incentivized Colin Tiller Sales Development Representative Read full review	From an initial cost perspective, we've gone from a collection of free and freemium software products that we used in combination to do what we wanted, to paying Smallpdf's per-user license fee. We estimate that creating the same final product with our old method took about 30 minutes per 1-100 page file. We are now down to approximately 10 minutes, if the input material does not require much manipulation. Around 50% of tasks used to require advice from a highly-technical user to fix unexpected errors. With Smallpdf we estimate we are now down to less than 20%. For things that Smallpdf cannot do we find ourselves falling back to old methods which can sometimes create wasted time when we only realize that Smallpdf is not up to the task in the middle of the job.
