Worked for a while, not it has reverted back to trial mode after only a few months. Not sure if buying a perpetual license would be a good idea if the software fails to remember its status.

I'm sorry my optimism was in vain.
I'll uninstall the program and wait for a new version that meets my requirements.

I forgot to mention that I couldn't enter the license key. I tried, but to no avail. Please address and resolve this issue. I tried converting the files on the program's website, where there is a free conversion page. However, its languages ​​are limited, and the language I want, which is Arabic, is not available.

I downloaded and installed the program, and later found out that it supports a limited number of languages, none of which I wanted. The languages ​​supported by the program should have been displayed in the description field. Five hours wasted for nothing.

Activation was not straightforward, but I got through it. Just read and follow each step carefully, don't sign up for the free trial thing, you activate through the program menu after you download and open it.

Thanks for this! I look forward to trying it and appreciate the 1 year license. I don't tend to respond to 6 months licenses.

Activation is somewhat convoluted - read the "ReadMe" file that comes with the install file, and have ready access to the email you provide. App installed and registered fine in the end.

As to "100 granules" question: this app can use AI (think ChatGPT), and that usage imposes some sort of "payment."
Have installed LightPDF, but have NOT used it yet: Question will be whether you CAN use the app WITHOUT AI. If NOT, it is likely not a keeper...

Would anyone tell me what "100 computing granules per month" means regarding PDF pages, quantity, or other criteria?

Reply   |   Comment by Suh  –  6 months ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+16)

No, it's not. The 100 credits work as the currency in processing your tasks within LightPDF — think of them as tokens you spend when using different features. Each task consumes a different amount of credits depending on its complexity. For example, converting a simple PDF might use fewer credits than AI features.

Hey there,

What makes LightPDF v2.15 (\$49.99) different from PDFGear?
Does it offer more features or make things easier to use?

quotation from wikipedia:
"Portable Document Format (PDF), standardized as ISO 32000, is a file format developed by Adobe in 1992 to present documents, including text formatting and images, in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.[2][3] Based on the PostScript language, each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, vector graphics, raster images and other information needed to display it. PDF has its roots in "The Camelot Project" initiated by Adobe co-founder John Warnock in 1991.[4] PDF was standardized as ISO 32000 in 2008.[5] It is maintained by ISO TC 171 SC 2 WG8, of which the PDF Association is the committee manager.[6] The last edition as ISO 32000-2:2020 was published in December 2020.[7]

PDF files may contain a variety of content besides flat text and graphics including logical structuring elements, interactive elements such as annotations and form-fields, layers, rich media (including video content), three-dimensional objects using U3D or PRC, and various other data formats. The PDF specification also provides for encryption and digital signatures, file attachments, and metadata to enable workflows requiring these features."

PDF is one thing above all: cumbersome and unwieldy, and extremely difficult to edit later—it was never really intended for that. It's a final format. It's all the more astonishing how many different attempts there are to edit PDF documents retrospectively, something that only rarely makes sense. Perhaps it's so interesting because it's very difficult.

Lichtes Licht,

Indeed - it was a replacement for printing, not editing documents.

I’ve been using LightPDF for my daily work, and it’s honestly a lifesaver! The tools are super easy to use, whether I need to convert files, remove watermarks, or summarize documents with AI. What I love most is that everything is fast, accurate, and doesn’t require any complicated steps. LightPDF saves me so much time and helps me stay productive every day. Highly recommend it to anyone who works with PDFs regularly!

bobby,

I use PDF 24, the version you run on your own computer, but it lacks the AI slop.

PDFs were meant to be read, not chatted with.
