PDF Expert: Read, Edit, & Sign

If you open a file from dropbox, it will not save your annotations. I read online that the solution is to save a copy of your document, but again I lost all my annotations. The amount of work I have lost because of annotations that disappear after I take an hour long break is exhausting.

Contrary to its claim it can edit pdf’s, it CANNOT edit any existing text in a pdf. You van only add your iwn text, and, of course edit that text. Useful, but clearly not what editing is all about.

Het was echt een fluitje van 1 cent om in de app te komen en deze te gebruiken. Een 10+

It is impossible to move files to iCloud Drive, a very basic option. Also, the software is still very unstable: it crashes when the writing tool or the stamp tool is used. It does work poorly with the Apple pencil. Still a useless app. After update: Press ‘What’s new’: the app crashes immediately. Still crashes. Still poor software. Incompetent software developers? It still works poort in 2023.

Extremely expensive subscription model. I already paid for the entire suite and can now no longer use all functionality. App is pretty useless now. This is not how you treat customers! Don’t buy this app!
Comments from Marina are incorrect. For example; converting to PDF (previously via a separate app in the suite) is no longer possible without subscription. Pricing is unfair. Luckily there are plenty of alternatives.

Helaas is bijna alles wat deze app goed maakte achter een nieuwe betaalmuur gezet. Voor de rest is deze app bijna nutteloos geworden. Ze proberen je een abonnement van €60 aan te smeren. Voor een telefoon app een erg duur geintje.

Flattened pdf’s can still be opened with Illustrator, Inkscape or Libre Office Draw and appear fully editable, even the signature you placed can be derived. That’s not what I call signing and flattening, I want the pdf to be completely closed (uneditable) after signing it, otherwise its useless.
And subscription is a no go. I often don’t use apps for months, so why paying for it when inactive? I totally resent the subscription concept.

This app has a lot of possibilities I was not are of because I was using other PDF app. But now I very impressed.

PDF expert is almost perfect. I had a couple of crashes and the user-experience is not always completely smooth. But it is by far the best program available. A pity that that the price is so high. Reduced to a reasonable 12 euro’s or so per year and they would make A LOT more money!

Wanneer je meermaals een PDF wilt mailen staat PDF expert vast. Na een harde reset van de iPad kun je weel omstreeks 4 maal een PDF middels e-mal verzenden.
Zou erg fijn zijn wanneer dit opgelost wordt. Ondanks dat, fijne en goede app.

Was a good app. Totally crap now.
Can’t open app anymore because fingerprint doesn’t work anymore (only with Readdle apps) and can’t even open it with password.
So has become totally useless crap and can’t access the content in the apps anymore.
Documents app same problem.

Ik heb de app geüpdatet, als ik nu in de PDF app via image een foto wil toevoegen sluit de app af en schiet terug naar het beginscherm iPad. Zouden jullie dit zsm kunnen oplossen. Het tweede probleem is als ik formulieren vanuit de PDF wil mailen dan gaat dit elke keer ongeveer 5 formulieren goed en loopt dan vast waardoor ik de app tot 3 keer toe opnieuw moet opstarten. Ook graag hiervoor jullie aandacht.

I am using PDF Expert already for years. Excellent app. But I do hate these yearly fees, or alternatively I have to look at adds (which is normally the next step). I bought this app and all of a sudden it is not mine anymore.

Vele jaren in gebruik op de iPad en IMac. Perfecte synchronisatie en stabiel. Het kost wat maar dan heb je ook wat!

I bought this app a while back and have always used it to sign documents. Now suddenly that is disabled and I need an expensive subscription. Will search for another solution. I do know app development takes time and money but taking something away completely from someone who has paid for something already, feels wrong…

- If you have a lot of files, it can become extremely slow...
- Often crashes...
- This morning I made & added about 10 pdf files, but now it's impossible to find them. Very frustrating.

This used be a fine app to quickly sign documents. I don’t know what changed, but it has become unusable. Text gets moved to seemingly random locations, sometimes mid sentence.
I gave up signing my name after 15 minutes of frustration. Will look for an alternative.
