In today’s market, many PDF editors can perform multiple tasks, from editing PDFs to converting a range of file formats into PDFs. With the number of PDF editors available today, it can be difficult to choose the best one tailored to your needs and budget. Options like Adobe Acrobat (the original PDF Editor) are quite expensive.
In this article, we’ll introduce you to Wondershare PDFelement, a great option for PDF editing with great pricing options for both businesses and individuals.
We created this article in partnership with Wondershare. Thank you for supporting the partners who make SitePoint possible.
Working with PDF files can be challenging and unpleasant at times, and for a range of reasons. Most PDFs are delivered as finished products. This means that the file is “flattened”, with every object being placed on a single layer. Thus, trying to edit one object affects every other object in the file.
Converting a PDF file to an editable format — such as Word — might sound like an intuitive way to edit it, but most PDF files don’t contain any underlying structure such as paragraphs, columns, tables and other building blocks that keep the contents of a Word file in place. This makes it difficult to read and convert them accurately, and some of the PDF editing software on the market tends to trade off quality and affordability.
Wondershare PDFelement simplifies the way people manage PDF documents across desktop, mobile, and web, offering an intuitive and powerful solution.
PDFelement currently has four main pricing plans for both Windows and macOS, and they all offer good value.
The pricing varies depending on whether you’re purchasing as an individual, for teams/businesses, for education, or in bundles. The desktop software is also available for a one-time, perpetual license fee that gives users ownership of this product.
Additionally, users can sign up for a free trial edition of the software to test it out before choosing an appropriate plan.
Although working with PDF files has several constraints, the PDF format is unavoidable in the workplace across different industries and professions. Switching back and forth between several services to complete simple tasks isn’t ideal for consumers.
To help employees and small business owners keep up with the digital transformation, Wondershare rolled out the latest version of PDFelement, equipped with a faster loading speed and advanced features including document management in the Cloud. You can easily edit, convert, sign PDFs, and more, across desktop, mobile and web — anytime, anywhere.

What is the ONLYOFFICE Community feature, and why should you use it?
Your email has been sent
ONLYOFFICE is not only a great web-based office suite and project management tool but an effective platform to keep your teams engaged with one another and the company.
I’ve been on an ONLYOFFICE kick for some time now. Why? Simply put, it’s a great way to add a document management service to your LAN. However, as you’ve probably seen, it’s much more than that.
SEE: Hiring kit: Project manager (TechRepublic Premium)
Upon deploying the ONLYOFFICE server, you’ll find it includes tools like:
Along for that ride is the Community tool, which for some will be a very pleasant surprise.
The Community feature in ONLYOFFICE is all about sharing information with a community of people. Said community would be the users who connect to your ONLYOFFICE instance. In other words, those in your company.
With Community, you can share bookmarks, news, maintain a corporate wiki, write internal blogs, host company forums, share polls and surveys, exchange instant messages and create group chats (via Talk) and configure notifications.
The ONLYOFFICE Community feature is a great addition to keep your staff engaged and updated. And, best of all, it’s built-in and easy to use. If your company depends on the likes of email to keep employees abreast of news, updates, documentation, events, and even keep a shared collection of important bookmarks, ONLYOFFICE Community is one of the simplest on-prem options available. And because ONLYOFFICE can be quickly deployed as a Docker container, your staff (both on-prem and remote) can enjoy the Community feature in no time.
This is a no-brainer for any company looking for an internal platform to keep teams in the know.
Now that you’re aware of ONLYOFFICE Community, how do you use it? Log into your ONLYOFFICE instance and click the Community icon (Figure A).
Figure A
You will be prompted to walk through the Welcome wizard and, on the last page, you’ll be asked to create your first Welcome post. Go ahead and create that post, which will take you to what should be a fairly familiar web-based editor (Figure A).
Figure B
Your Welcome post will be the default page every team member sees when they open the Community feature.
After creating the Welcome post, you’ll be taken back to the main Community page. Click the Create drop-down and you’ll see how easy it is to create a new Blog post, News item, Order, Announcement, Poll or Bookmark.
The only bit of confusion I experienced using the Community feature was the Order option (found in the Create drop-down). I assumed this would be used to create orders for resources (such as computer hardware, facility supplies, etc.). It’s not. My guess is that Orders are used to distribute tasks of higher importance to the company. The only caveat to that is you cannot assign orders to users, which means they can be viewed by anyone with an account on your ONLYOFFICE instance.
Although features like chat and forums are listed as part of the Community feature, in reality, chat exits outside of the feature (in the form of the Talk tool), and forums aren’t enabled by default. To enable forums, log into ONLYOFFICE as an administrator and click Settings. In the resulting window, click Modules & Tools and then, click to enable Forums under Community (Figure C).
Figure C
Click Save and Forums will then you’ll be able to create your first forum by going to Community | Create | Forum. On the Forum creation page (Figure D), you can create a new category, and add a title, name, and description for the forum.
Figure D
Once the Forum has been created, any user with access to ONLYOFFICE can join in on the discussions.
All-in-all, ONLYOFFICE Community is a great addition to the platform, one that will keep your teams informed and connected. If you use ONLYOFFICE, I highly recommend employing this option, so your employees are better informed and engaged with one another and the company.

Scribble eSign offers a cost-effective alternative to remote signing for BuildTopia users and their customers.
TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2022 /CNW/ — Constellation HomeBuilder Systems, North America’s largest provider of home building software solutions, today announced the launch of Scribble, a new electronic signing solution that supports eSigning of digital documents and contracts, designed specifically for homebuilders. Scribble offers builders on the BuildTopia construction management software platform a streamlined signing workflow, including multiple signers and documents, secured signing sessions and secured document storage.
“Builders are looking for cost effective and reliable e-sign alternatives that easily integrate into their existing construction management solution, while securely and efficiently collecting and managing eSignatures,” said Sean Wilhelm, vice president of Constellation HomeBuilder Systems.
“Despite homebuyers demanding a more digital homebuying experience, we’re still seeing frustration among builders who are trying to make technology decisions based on a myriad of eSign solutions that claim efficiency improvements, but in reality, lack simplicity and pricing transparency” continued Wilhelm. “Scribble delivers all the mainstream workflow automations, security and compliance features that builders are looking for, but at a more cost-effective price point.”
Scribble offers flexibility for builders to scale their operations with electronic signatures. Learn more about Scribble for eSignatures, forms, workflows, and learn about its detailed integration with BuildTopia, click here.
