Readdle PDF Expert Erfahrungen

After suffering with Adobe programs for years, finding PDF Expert was the best thing in years. It really has it all. Simplicity, speed and features you would expect in more expensive programs.

The subscription craze. I don't agree with them, but I understand that behind such a program there is a lot of work and equipment to maintain.

I've been a loyal user of PDF Expert for several years now, and have found the functionality good for Mac. Unfortunately, my recent experiences with their customer support have left me deeply disappointed.

One of the most frustrating aspects of dealing with PDF Expert's support team is their communication process. Rather than addressing issues promptly and efficiently, they rely solely on email correspondence, which often leads to prolonged resolution times. Instead of gathering all necessary information upfront, they ask a series of questions over multiple emails, dragging out the process unnecessarily.

Their support team places a significant burden on customers by requesting detailed information and requiring video recordings to diagnose problems effectively. This level of demand is unreasonable and impractical for many users, ultimately hindering rather than assisting in problem resolution.

In my most recent encounter, I've been experiencing difficulties downloading the app and encountered issues with corrupted files. Despite reaching out for assistance, I've been waiting for six days without a satisfactory resolution in sight. The lack of phone or screen share support further exacerbates the situation, leaving customers feeling stranded and unsupported.

Adding insult to injury, PDF Expert lacks a mechanism for providing refunds, further limiting options for dissatisfied customers.

In conclusion, do not invest in PDF Expert. Despite its functional capabilities, the lackluster customer support and cumbersome resolution process overshadow any benefits the app may offer. Save your money and avoid the frustration of dealing with a support team that seems more interested in prolonging your inconvenience than resolving your issues.

This is a great tool for filling out and sending proposals / agreements to our customers.

We just had to upgrade to the 'pro' version for an annual subscription to keep the tools we used to get for free.

PDF Expert covers most of the bases. It allows you to easily edit and create pdf files. You can also create a signature for signing documents digitally.

The only feature I miss from Adobe Acrobat is the ability to create forms. If PDF Expert had that function it would have everything I need.

Great PDF product with correspondent mobile apps. May not have all the bells and whistles of the market leader, but it has the necessary tools.

If I had a complaint, it would be that the custom stamp tool doesn't allow for multi-line text.

This is one of the many PDF softwares available for iOS and mac but one of the few “editors” for iPAD/iOS. The good news is, it does what it says and perhaps the most capable one for the iPAD. it is also comaptible seamlessly with documents (by readle) so that once you buy PDF expert, its features are automatically enabled in the documents app. it is also fast and stable enough 10 usds (In my country) is a price so much justified for the features.

no free version no trial. pay to use.
color accuracy is sometimes horrible. (again wish i could send screenshot but) a simple nice light blue color may appear horrible dark blue like (imagine the header of a window on Windows 98)
but the search feature is slower than Adobe reader and documents by readle and the scrolling is not as smooth as on adobe either( which i could upload short video of what i mean)

PDF Expert works very well on both macOS and iOS. I use it on both of these OS's every day. The pen functionality of my iPad Pro works very well with PDF Expert. I am able to write, highlight, comment, etc. on the PDF's as I am able to on paper. Functionality to add a PDF page, remove a page, or merge PDF's is great.

Functionality to convert a PDF to Word (or other document type) would be nice. Whenever I need to convert a document to Word, or make a scanned document searchable, I have to use Adobe Acrobat DC. It'd be nice being able to use a single PDF software for these purposes.

The ability to work with pdf files in a myriad of ways - edit, annotate, mark-up, combine files, extract pages, etc. is extremely helpful. As is the ability to convert files in other formats (.docx., .png, .jpg, etc.) to pdf format. You do need the “Pro” version of the app to perform some of these functions - $49.99 annual subscription - well worth it.

I would like to see the ability to perform ocr of pdf files.

Easy to use, not too complex in all its features. Fast and reliable.

The look and feel deserves a brush. It would be nice to be able to customize the view.

For me, most PDF readers are equal except a few ones because they have extra functionalities. PDF expert allows you to open tabs. When working with 10 articles, this is much more functional than having 10 windows open of Preview for Mac. Also, the search can be performed in all open PDF files. This is a small plus but for day to day use it helps. It does not consume much of my small CPU power like Adobe readers

It has no real con, just it lacks features for which I use other readers: combine PDFs (PDF elements does it well), take a snapshot (references at the end of an article so you don't have to go from the text to ref back and fro - skim does this).

PDF Expert is a very easy to use, nice and affordable PDF reader for MacOS with very intuitive annotating. It works simply very well.

I have missed more advanced features, especially OCR that was promised a long time ago. However, it seems that it has finally arrived (https://pdfexpert.com/blog/pdf-expert3). There have also been some other features missing - especially when compared to similarly priced PDF-Xchange for Windows (like advanced page manipulation and automatic creation of TOC based on the content).

I really enjoy PDF Experts UI and it's simplicity. It allows me to make all of the annotations needed for my drawings and miscellaneous documents.

I find that there could be a bit more flexibility with the app. Maybe the ability to add leaders and text together. Also make it easier to have text with blocks around it.

Adobe is a hassle! I was so glad when I found the Readdle products. Now I can take notes on PDFs as well as edit them and even sign them. No more papers!!

What I don’t like is that there are so many programs. They bundle the price, but the software is still separate. I wish they were all wrapped into one program.

Able to switch to PDF Expert and get to grips with the app in no time. User Interface is well laid out. Very easy to fill out pdf forms and add signatures.

You have to buy it twice if you want to use it on a mobile platform as well as a Mac. Occasionally will not open some pdf's which will open with Acrobat Reader. The pdf file needs to be "repaired" before PDF Expert will open it.
