Customer Reviews

PDF Expert 2

This program is amazing! I am happy to give it 5 stars. My project was to combine just over 100 images with a brief description of each. I had sorted the images chronologically, and had the accompanying descriptions sorted to go with them. I could not figure out a way to put the images and descriptions. I mentioned my problem to a computer geek friend. He immediately steered me towards a PDF editor, but, which one should I choose? I like cheap, so I looked at the free ones first, then the modestly priced ones. PDF Editor was a bit pricey at $59, but my project is a tender one, preserving memoirs of a 97 year old WWII bomber pilot. I thought I would rather err on the side of spending more than risking jeopardizing the projects. The reviews of PDF Expert 2 were consistently great, so I decided to go with your program. That was a good decision. Since then, I have ventured into several other projects. Each time, the results were great. I had a little difficulty with the learning curve, about what I expected. I was able to import a Word document that I had created with the captions for each picture, then used the “image import” tool to upload the images. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Thank you for providing such a program.

overlooked a few things

There are some great features, like the tile view to rearrange pages which Apple’s native Preview doesn’t have, but many of the other features are less efficient. To rotate a page in Preview, for example, you simply click the toolbar button and it rotates the page to the left - which is the direction that almost all my pages seem to need rotating. In PDF Expert, you need to find the page in the sidebar, right click the page, then select rotate - this gets pretty tedious especially when you want to rotate to the left, in which case you need to right click, select menu item, right click, select menu item, right click, select menu item…. In Preview, you simply click the toolbar icon three times: click click click and you’re done.

Another frustration is when you command-W to close a window, it leaves this annoying “recent files” splash page type thing that you then have to close every time you want to simply close a window, it keeps popping up. No option in the settings to disable this unnecessary, unuseful extra step.

If they were to streamline some of the most common things you are likely to do - like open and close a document, rotate a page, etc - then I would increase to five stars. Until then, it’s just more cumbersome and slower to use than Apple’s free Preview.

My new goto PDF application for Mac and iOS!!

I have been using PDF Expert for both Mac and iOS now consistently for the past 6 months. I have found these apps to fit my needs well - for annotating and taking notes, for reading, reference, and extracting information from books and articles for presentations, and for easily signing documents. With iCloud syncing it works very well - syncing to dropbox takes some effort and is not the most intuitive, but I find it easier to keep clean copies of my PDFs in Dropbox and the edited versions in iCloud. As for features, there aren’t many more I would ask for - the biggest one so far would be to be able to crop all pages in succession the same way in a single document, but otherwise base functionality serves very well. While text recognition and more advanced acrobat features would also be nice to see in future updates, those are not missed the vast majority of the time. Overall its a good product and definitely my new goto PDF application.
