  great but would be even better w some improvements

  i switched from adobe to this app because of how slow adobe became on my Windows even tho it's updated to the latest version. I solely used it to view my textbooks and do some little highlighting here and there, sometimes printing but not musch really. AND, let me tell you, the moment i launched this app, it felt so fast compared to adobe. also, it felt so intuitive and way easier to use for someone who doesn't know much about how pdf readers work. What i love about it is the different colors of highlight i can pin on the toolbar and switch from and how it doesn't crash or lag obvs. tho, some improvements for features could go a long way such as improving the pen tool and the drawing tools in general because when i freely draw a line or insert a shape it takes a while to appear on the screen and sometimes i have to close and reopen the app to see it after saving it. also, more printing options could be better as well because the printing box has fewer options than adobe's to be used for printing.

  Its OK but...

  Im no fan of Adobe, so I tried this alternative but its lacking in some basic features. This does do basic virewing and printing of complete files acceptabley, But… It wont let me print a custom list of pages like Adobe does, Like Print Pages 1,4,7, 12-20, 72. Instead I would have to print each of those pages or ranges, one at a time. First, it starts off im Thumbnail mode all the time, cant seem to turn that off as a startup feature. Only developers need theumbnail mode, the rest of us just want to view pages in as full a screen real estate as possible. Also, the search feature is weird - it presents the hourglass for several seconds as you beging to type the first letter or letters of the search word, and it crashes ofetn after one or more searches. It doesnt highlight the search results on the viewable page, instead it opens a search results thumbnail list on the left of the scren even though search box is on the right and displayed page is in the middle. Also, there should be a navigation pane that displays current page number and first and last page number that lets you quickly navigate to top, bottom or a specific page number.

  Resolution doesn’t match competitors

  I was hoping to attach a screenshot to show, but it doesn’t appear to be possible. Regardless, the gist here is, documents viewed on PDF Reader are fuzzy. I don’t know if it’s a resolution thing or what, but the fact remains, when I open the same document (scanned or otherwise) in this app and, let’s say, Acrobat or Foxit, as well, the words aren’t as easy to read because of the fuzziness observed. PDF Reader isn’t alone. I purchased a different PDF editor a couple years ago and noticed the same thing. That editor had/has a lot of other issues as well, but having already purchased it, I couldn’t get a refund. I am eternally grateful for free trials, because I expect to get what I pay for. Why pay for an app that doesn’t perform as well as a free one? I don’t know why it’s so hard to get a PDF app that can actually do it all and do it well. Some have OCR, some don’t. Some share documents across multiple platforms, some don’t. PDF Reader has these features. It’s what I’m looking for, but the documents need to appear as clear as any free app or I won’t purchase it. PDF Reader is one of the few one can purchase via a one time charge. That’s also a huge plus.

  I wouldn't download this

  The good part it was free. But I guess you get what you pay (or not pay) for. I was trying to compelte a refund request form and it kept deleting the text box. I thought maybe I changed the color to white, but nope - all the text I just wrote dissappeared. The formatting for adding text is off. Then I tried to create a form out of it for simplicity, but that made it worse. The text box was hard to re-size and move. I lost it and deleted the app when I tried to use the signature option. When I finished signing, I had to resize it since it was way too big for the signature line. However, it was IMPOSSIBLE to do so. I've been a Windows user for years and this shouldn't require a tutorial. I should, in theory, just move the dots around the box to re-zise and that's it, but anytime I try the dots on the box are unresponsive. They don't move at all. Thank goodness I tried this with an unimportant document. I will not purchase the paid option now for sure.

  Absolutely does not work

  I got this application because i receive a lot of .pdf files that i need to convert to either word or powerpoint. I have followed every instruction and looked up every tutorial and none of them worked. I bought the credits required to convert and it still did not work. I would get a .pdf file and try to convert it to a .pptx and .ppt file, but whenever i would click convert it would give me a loading symbol and tell me i could track the progress in the task manager and gave me the option to go there or close the notification window. If i went to the task manager, It would not show up and close the previous window i had just left. I tried refreshing the list but to no avail. if i just clicked the close button instead of going to the task manager, It would not convert and I would just be stuck looking at the .pdf i am trying to convert. this product is a waste of time and money.
