## Review summary

Multiple users report that the PDFOffice extension fails to load or open PDFs and has very limited editing capabilities, making it largely ineffective compared to Firefox's built-in PDF viewer. It sometimes requires disabling privacy tools to work and has a poor interface with usability issues. Some users find the image insertion feature useful, but overall, the add-on is seen as misleading and poorly functional.

### Pros

- Adds ability to insert images into PDFs, which is not built into Firefox by default.
- Claims to offer PDF editing and creating functionality beyond Firefox's built-in features.
- Some users find the interface to be clean and suitable for certain tasks.

### Cons

- Fails to load or open PDF files properly, often opening empty documents.
- Limited or no actual editing capabilities, such as inability to edit text, delete text, or scroll on some platforms (notably Mac).
- User interface issues like inability to zoom, poor resolution, and difficult handling.
- False advertising or misleading screenshots showing features that do not exist or function.
- Requires disabling ad blockers or other privacy-related settings, raising privacy concerns and still often not working.
