UPDATED - WPS Problems with PDF Editor Application
I have been using WPS for about 5 days now. I opened every type of MS Office I have worked with (Docs, Sheets and PPT). Many of my PPT presentations and Docs used text shadows and effects. WPS opened them without issue, retaining all of the nuances. The fact that it is less expensive makes it better. However, the real kicker is the integration between PDF editing and the other tasks. I was able to take an archived PDF file of a banking statement, open it as a PDF in WPS, and convert it to a spreadsheet in about 23 seconds. And it was EXCELLENT. In addition, if you open a scanned PDF file, it quickly turns it into a text PDF for easy editing. Don't just look at the price compared to MS Office, because you also get an outstanding PDF editor which integrates between the other functions. That's like an Adobe Acrobat AND MS Office all wrapped up into one. So far, I highly recommend this product. I haven't used the cloud sharing component yet, so I can't comment on sharing files. UPDATE (Added June 18th): Having seen many reviews regarding issues of overcharging, etc. I wanted to see what happened when my 7 day trial ended. At the conclusion of my 7 day trial, they charged me $18.99 for a 6 month premium subscription. No overcharges - no double charges. So far, still works fine (my subscription does not include the AI feature). It lists a renew date 6 months from now. $19 for a product that works competitively with MS office PLUS an integrated PDF editor that seamlessly works with the other functions. I rate WPS 5 star for my experience. I will keep everyone posted if anything changes. UPDATE - AUGUST 6, 2026 Having used WPS for almost two months I have run into many problems with the PDF Editor application. When editing in the editor it will often look fine, but when I save the file and open it in another program (Chrome, Reader, Edge) the fonts are not correct. When I open in Adobe Acrobat, each letter has its own separate text box, rather than treating like a text box for a paragraph or sentence. Also, when copying and pasting text, the paste is rotated 90 degrees if my document is in landscape format. I hope WPS can correct this at some point. The conversion between DOCs, Spreadsheets and PDF is in my opinion a great strength - but not if the PDF looks bizarre when saved and viewed in another application
