Also, I wish the text was a bit easier and nicer. > > Lumin pdf and I have a great relationship. I found out about it through a friend and have since recommended it to others. ----- ### "Simple to use, but very limited options" — 3.0/5 > **Karly** | *25 October 2024* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Lumin PDF offers a Google Chrome add-on \& integrates with Google Drive. It is easy to navigate \& use. The layout is simple. It is a good tool to fill \& digitally sign documents. > > **Cons**: The free version is extremely limited. There are constant pop-ups to upgrade. It allows you to annotate a pdf, but in the free version you are unable to edit the pdf. Plus, with the free account, you can only have 3 documents to edit/share. > > Lumin PDF is too limiting to be used efficiently. There are other apps that offer better options that are free or at least aren't so limiting in the free version. The layout \& ease of using it is good, but it doesn't make up for the lack of capabilities in the free version. ----- ### "Exceptional tool\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Maha** | *13 January 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can easily review, sign and date documents. You can download them as any file and then be on your way. Super easy to use and allows for detailed editing of documents. The best part is that it is directly attached to my Google drive. Makes my life much easier\!\! > > **Cons**: I couldn’t save more than 3 documents to my Google drive at a time due to reaching the limit. However despite that I like the tool > > Excellent\! It was a quick and easy experience and I was able to complete my task. I am very satisfied with this tool. ----- ### "Great tool for collaborative commenting" — 4.0/5 > **Ivette** | *8 November 2025* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It allows for collaborative editing of documents. I was able to color-code comments, implement feedback, and track changes. > > **Cons**: The experience is a little bulky and glitchy at times. It is not as smooth as other collaborative tools. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/449997/Lumin-PDF?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/449997/Lumin-PDF) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
