PDF Reader Pro: Edit & Convert App Reviews

What a shame I paid this much for this crap, I thought it would convert word to PDF etc like the file converter diagram shows, no luck not very user friendly. Please refund my money!!!

Spares my pain! Satisfied with no further complaint. Keep the great features coming plz!

I purchased this application specifically to be able to edit PDF’s. Having purchased the application, I find the selection of editing tools absolutely pityfull making the application virtually useless as far as I am concerned. The conversion process to Word works even worse. The first example of conversion converted a 20 page PDF to 20 pages of symbols and an html file with random words. I believe the description of the capabilities of this product to be highly over-rated.

I am a picky person when it comes to programs and Apps. They did not miss much on this one and it works very nice. I look up items in a catalog on 3 different devices, and they all work well. I dropped the coin 28 bucks for the premium version. You can’t go wrong. e

Update: What a pleasant surprise! I am now going full speed with my PDFs becasue of the added features this new version has! Inserting pages from other PDFs is a blessing, compress and split files are just what I needed at the moment, merging multiple files into one presentable file works like a charm. I thought my $30 went pretty far, it turns out the developer wanted me to feel even better! Best money spent. I would give this a 5+ star if I could… I have the "regular” PDF Reader by the same developer and I am very pleased with what it does. One thing that didn’t come with that regular version was the conversion function. To the developer’s credit, the “regular” version does whatever they said it does, providing a great tagging/file management system that keeps my files organized. I was hesitant to pay again to just get the conversion tool, as I really would rather get a “whole package” that allows me to finish everything with just one application. I had previously thought that I didn’t need the conversion tool but it turns out being able to convert PDFs into Word or other formats has become a much called-for feature as PDF is now everywhere yet even the most sophiscated PDF reader doesn’t do extensive editing works as Microsoft Word does. Well, PDF Reader Premium came out to be a pleasant surprise for me, as I not only find it to be a great conversion tool, but the PDF editing features that come with it are beyond a regular PDF app I’ve used and seen. I would say that this is what you need for pretty much all your PDF needs.

I previously went with this app because the rich features the screenshots suggest. I’m glad that I didn’t cheap down. Conversion works beyond expectations, tables and templates help a great deal, form filling and the annotation tools are a huge plus, and it also supports inserting pages into the existing PDFs. I also like the way the app helps manage the files, the tags help mark files based on different uses of them. I think they charge the price for a reason and that’s well justified. I really think the developer went above and beyond with the update. I am glad that I made a decision of buying this app, I’ve spent way too much money buying apps from others who don’t keep up with the quality and make their apps only a one-shot deal.

I almost shy away from it because its price tag. Like many others my life depends on PDFs and the ability to "maneuver" them. I need to constantly do extensive editing with my PDFs and occasionally converting them into DOCs. This app makes all the complications a breeze as I now can pretty much do all I need to do - combining PDFs, pick a page from a PDF, insert it into another one, and make it a new file, annotate etc. A great app worth the price.

This is a high quality PDF reader. I really appreciate the converting tool which helps me a lot on my work.

useful app, Clear interface and easy to use.

I have had a few crashes, but all it all it works quite well.

I bought this because I was looking for a PDF manager/viewer that would let me manage a large number of PDFs on dropbox or iCloud along with viewing, annotating and most importantly, setting the PDF password. This utility barely does that. In fact, it really does not do anything that you cannot do with finder and preview. It’s a little clunkier with finder and preview but at least finder/preview are stable! Major bug, it cannot easily open PDFs encrypted with AES 128 or 256 - it throws an error and when you try to open it with the manger, it blanks out the document!!!!!!!! It can not do group functions at all i.e. set password for more than one file at a time (batch) - yes it was not listed but I was hopeful. The manager view does not support select all but that does not matter because it does not support batch work. You cannot set an open password independent from the owner password, in other words you have to set both at the same time. (maybe I do not understand PDF security!) For conversion to Word - please keep in mind that your PDF document has to already have a Word like format (like created from Word in the first place) in order for the conversion to produce anything. Also, crashes when I heavily annotate PDF, which is no problem for preview. I wish I saved my money. In fact, I think that all the positive reviews that I read are from friends and family of the developers!!!!! Gosh - can I get my money back!!!!!!

Very well developed and useful every day. It does way more than you expect.

I need to reinstall this app for my iMac, but when I click the download link it states that the App is already installed. How do I download this app again? Is there a file that needs to be deleted from my Mac somewhere that is telling iTunes that it’s already installed?

I’m impressed with the loading speed. I have lots of large PDF files containing images which sometimes load very slowly in other PDF viewers, but not this one. I’m satisfied with it.

Happy to have PDF Reader on Mac. I have been using the iOS version, and really love it. The Mac version just works great as well. Good stuff, thanks.

PDF Reader Premier ver 1.1.1 will convert the text of a .pdf document to a .docx document one page at a time. It does not convert or transfer non-text parts of the document. Customer service is by emai, no telephone service. Turnaround time for a request averaged one week. Emails were polite and helpful after we came to an understanding of the problem. The current version does not meet my need.

I love this app. I especially love the library with all my PDF files at my fingertips it really is a great reader! Thanks!

I have the full version of Acrobat on my PC and have been saving everything in PDF files. I love the format. So when I got my MAC, I wanted to find a good program to create, save and read PDF files. So far this program has been the best one I have found. I really like this app. 12/19/2014 Update: The only problem I have with the app is the annoying pop-up that opens every time I use the app asking me to review this app again after I have reviewed it.

The oddest thing about PDF Reader Premium is that it will not allow you to draw a horizontal or vertical line. It will draw a line, but it forces the line to be at an angle, which is very annoying if you need a straight even line that is horizontal and not at a slight angle. I tried everything for hours, and I have to have straight perfectly horizontal lines in my documents periodically, and this program will not do perfectly horizontal lines. Very strange. After spending $39 for it, I find it unuseable. Annoying!!!!!!!

I bought this in order to be able to edit PDFs and add text boxes to be able to fill in on the actual field. Did not work….
