Software Reviews and Criticism

  Worth Every Penny

  I’ve been looking for an app just like this for quite some time. I’ve tried different solutions for my PDF needs but this one addresses all of them. I have to admit that I was put off by its price tag for a bit but thank goodness I took the leap of faith and it absolutely paid off. All the different PDF management tools - conversion, annotation, highlight, form filling etc- are as good as advertised and may be even better for how I had hoped. The presentation mode works especially well for me as PDF is the main working format in what I do. Such a breeze when I have to demonstrate the manuals and contracts in my face-to-face meetings with clients. The previous apps I tried either lacked of the tools I needed or came out short on the performance (eg. crashing, slow rendering speed, lost pages when inserting or merging, annotation now shown correctly in position when opened with other apps, etc). I am glad I found the perfect one. I don’t think you could go wrong with this app if you are just like me who relies on PDF for your daily needs. This is a superb PDF management solution and it certainly beats out others that claim to do the similar things in the store.

  Not exactly as I thought

  I was using a free version of this App for a while and was pretty much OK with it, but came across some situations where a full version was needed. So, I bought it. Unfortunately, not everything went OK. I had to use Preview and Books Apps to accomplish some steps, which I couldn't find in Adobe Reader Pro. It was also a real problem to find Color and Text utilities on this App Toolbar (they actually not accessible there!). No real text Edit tool in PDF available. Export to Word returns kind of a mess instead .DOCX normal file. I liked the HTML file exported and some other features. Sorry, but it is not more than 3 stars for now... Hope it will become better soon! But as for now, I want my money back. That's not worth $60 at all... I purchased it for the full price, no any discount and couldn't refund money though it was just less then a week. Later I found that I have to pay extra $19 if I want to convert PDF to DOC because it was more than 10 pages. Most of the job they offer in this App can be done the same way or even better in the Preview, which I finally am using... Poor job.

  NOT Adobe Acrobat, but comes up with those exact search words

  I got the free version that came up in app store, but then purchased for $60 for my Windows after reading reviews that must have been bogus—said it did a great job converting documents. The first PDF I tried to convert, it made into complete gibberish. I emailed it to their support on 2/14 at 1:40pm, along with the original document and they replied on the 15th around 7am that they needed to know my OS system and could I send docs so they could send to their engineer (there’s only 1?). I had already sent docs, but I sent again with OS system info. 2 days later, on a Saturday, they said there were problems with the fonts and sent it back looking nothing like the original. I went online and downloaded the right thing—adobe acrobat—free version—and it opened just fine. Now I’m just out $60 for something that didn’t do what it says. Grrrrr. I chose the nickname for this review of Not ADOBE, and it said it was taken. Enough said.

  Won’t hold settings, crashes

  Don’t bother buying this program until they get all of the bugs worked out. It does not remember the settings from 1 document to the next. It crashes everytime I want to print. The only signature you can add is the one you write out on the track pad (which is a problem if you have a desktop computer - no trackpad). Unfortunately, the free version doesn’t let you try all of the advanced features so you can’t see how it works until you buy it and by then it is too late….definitely not worth the money - I don’t even want it on my computer and have already unstalled it. Hope I can get a refund!!!! UPDATE- just to let the developer know, I did make the changes under the “preferences” the changes don’t hold. Also, you can’t highlight pages in the thumbnails, so you can’t extract or delete pages there, you have to open another window to do this….it’s very clunky - still want a refund.

  Worst software ever.

  I rearched out to cancel my subscription to PDF Reader Pro because it has been so incredibly awful, to no avail. Half of the features do not work. The program crashed my Windows twice yesterday, and unexpectedly closed a PDF last week without saving it, thereby deleting all of my highlights in a 300 page book. It routinely opens tabs in new windows despite the fact that I have my preferences to open tabs in the same window. I cannot convert any PDF to a Word document: it just renders a blank document. Half of the time, when I convert to OCR recognition, the document crashes before I can save it. Lastly, when my computer goes into night mode, I cannot see anything in the search bar, from what I am typing in there to the back and forth buttons. Worst sofware ever, do not buy.
