PhantomPDF is a solid application by a trusted company. It also connects seamlessly with Google Drive, Dropbox, Box and OneDrive services, which at this point is a given for modern applications. Phantom PDF offers a wide range of compatibilities when it comes to sharing, annotating and collaborating on documents, including Net Documents, iManage Worksite and SharePoint integration.

With everyone working off some combination of cloud-based services and platforms, it’s not unusual to expect your PDF solution to fit into that scheme. Leveraging the power of the cloud is a trend that all software is jumping on lately, and Foxit is no exception. There isn’t much more you could need to create or convert PDF documents here. Finally, PhantomPDF can integrate large multimedia files such as video into your documents. You can merge files, create PDFs from web browsers and emails, and even from Microsoft Visio (again, Business only). It can also convert PDF to Microsoft Office files. It allows you to create industry-standard PDF documents in all formats, including PDF/A, in addition to E and X (Business only). PhantomPDF’s power really shines when it comes to creating and converting documents, especially in its Business version. The application’s security features are robust, and include electronic signing with PDF Sign, a flexible redaction tool, and Microsoft Rights Management encryption and decryption capabilities. It will also allow you to change the paragraph settings such as justification and spacing, and includes a powerful measurement tool for images. PhantomPDF has some unique little features that help with editing individual documents, such as font matching – if you want to add something to a particular paragraph, the program will try to use the same font as the original document for your text. Although the interface is relatively user-friendly, it might take a bit of getting used to for those not familiar with that style of layout. Working with multiple documents is easy with PhantomPDF since it splits them in separate tabs, and we are used to its Microsoft Office-like interface and toolbars.

PhantomPDF comes with the standard range of features of most leading PDF solutions, but a few make it stand out from the pack. Its advanced features such as OCR make scanned documents editable, and it also supports ConnectedPDF to take advantage of the cloud in managing your documents – an interesting feature. It allows you to view and annotate PDFs, convert them into other file formats such as MS Word, and handle multiple files for easy management. Phantom PDF is a powerful tool that includes a long list of functionalities relating to PDF documents.
