PDF-XChange Editor 11: AI Assistant, e-signing and more
26 October 2026
PDF-XChange Editor 11 is the biggest update to the popular Windows PDF editor in years. It adds an AI Assistant, built-in e-signing, cloud file search and smaller output files. The latest build, 11.1.1.0, was released on 21 October 2026 and is available now from NETsolutions Asia.
What's new in Version 11
FreeSign and placeholders
Add signatures and initials directly to pages. Placeholders mark where others should sign, initial or date.
Cloud file search
Search files directly in connected cloud storage. New Open and Save dialogs work the same way across local, OneDrive and network locations.
Smaller, cleaner files
Save as Optimised now compresses images in comments and can flatten fields and markup. Build 11.1 adds Brotli compression when creating PDFs.
Saved file lists
Save a list of files and reuse it in Combine Files, Create PDF Portfolio and Batch Link, which saves time on repeated jobs.
Reworked 3D engine
A new 3D plugin supports BREP models and makes navigating 3D content in PDFs easier.
