  • Great Product

    This software saves me a lot of time reading and allows me to focus on the main areas of interest for my research.
  • The perfect tool

    This is the only app I have ever felt the need to write a review for. It has genuinely made my college workload load more manageable and efficient! I told all my friends about this app so they can stop paying subscriptions for far worse services.
  • Life Saver for Traveling Sales Rep

    This app is amazing!!! Never before could I edit, organize, and make much needed corrections to PDF’s without opening my wallet. Adobe is a great product for their pro version but the choice was always send my kids to college or purchase Adobe pro. This App takes that choice away and provides a clean and user friendly interface. I’m telling everyone with Apple to download and ditch the paid version. The Mac version is amazing for MacBook as well! Keep it up!
  • Ok for annotation

    if you want to add annotation its good but i tried to fill text boxes in a PDF form using "fill&sign" , but whenever I click a text box i just get a pop up box saying "Copy, Delete"
  • Extremely buggy

    I use this on the PC and it’s great, figured I’d add it to my iPad. However, this app is a buggy nightmare on the iPad. It fails to open documents, can’t move, delete, or rename documents. Makes it basically useless. I’d give it zero stars until they ensure that an app on the Apple Store actually works with apple devices.
  • Wow it’s great!

    The layout is very different from the others, but it does not take long to get use to it. I love how you can highlight and copy what you want from an ocr. I also find add text a better experience. And the duplicate of a text, auto paste just below is a great feature.
  • Whoever is responsible for this app.. THANK YOU

    You may honestly be a saint. To have almost** all the same capabilities as Adobe Acrobat, in a clean and intuitive application, amazing. 10/10 gents truly!!

    **Additional info for developer, maybe this might be of assistance:

    I said “almost all” because the only capability missing is redaction. Currently all that is available is a annotate and highlight in black function, but if someone selects all (CTRL+A) and copies(CTRL+C) the text, and then pastes it elsewhere, the “redacted” info populates. This is because the annotation simply covers the text with a shape layer. Flattening the PDF did not work either.

    But! On the bright side, I found a quick workaround. Annotate in black, then screenshot, then save the image as a pdf.

    I hope that info helps you gentlemen (or ladies) in some way!
  • Excellent Application

    It’s always a pleasure when an app performs as advertised, it’s even more satisfying when an app exceeds expectations, which PDFGear does!
  • Not opening

    This application is not opening in my iPhone, but it is opening and working in my Windows PC. I rated this app because it is opening in my Windows PC and it’s a very good App.
  • Warning: Review Subject to Change

    This app (on PC and Mac) is awesome. Stunning and accurate in its efficacy. I just downloaded it on my iPad but if it maintains its functionality across platforms? This is going to be “beautiful.”
