Today on both iPad and iPhone, exporting a downloaded pdf from Files, Dropbox, other pdf apps, opens able2extract, but shows a blank screen and does nothing discernible. I was afraid my 8 page pdf was too much, so I tried with a single page pdf. Same. Please help? Many thanks.. ### 2/5 — Didn’t do the job I needed it to *2019-06-12, version 11* Well I purchased this because I needed to convert a PDF form at work to Word. It converted it but, some sections on every page were blacked out. These sections had boxes around some of the text. Needless to say, it didn’t make a useable Word document and I am out $10. They should have given a free trial to see if it actually worked before purchasing. Not happy with how it worked for my needs. ### 4/5 — This app works as expected until !!! *2017-08-13, version 11* This app works as expected till it encounters text and tables in landscape format, then it just ignores them. Future versions should include the ability to choose which pages to convert and the ability to rotate pages or the ability to convert pages in landscape orientation. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2017-08-09, version 11* Great tool for an IPAD Addict ### 5/5 — Not a big talker *2017-07-12, version 11* Excellent work guys ### 5/5 — Awkward but awesome!!!! *2017-06-30, version 11* And that's simply due to its barren interface and zeroooo instruction...and after five minutes of wandering thru it, the aha moment arrives and its glorious! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2017-06-28, version 11* Love it! Does everything it supposed to do ### 5/5 — It does what it is supposed to do well *2017-04-28, version 11* Things were converted to and from PDF. ### 5/5 — good app *2017-03-20, version 11* good app ### 4/5 — Great App *2017-03-15, version 11* The app performs very well for my needs converting PDFs to word documents for some of the work activities that I need to have performed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work! *2022-07-27, version 11* I tried to convert a .pdf file on first my iPhone 13, then on my iPad - both worked a long time, then said it couldn’t convert the file. Then it wouldn’t let me even try again. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! ### 1/5 — Does not work at all, basically a scam *2021-08-27, version 11* I have a pfd that I needed converted to that's too large to type out manually. $10 app, couldn't do it at all. If anything disrupts a conversion it will fail (notification of any kind, phone call, changing display brightness). Sat my phone down at 8pm, disabled screen timeout and all notifications. It ran for 6 HOURS, still 'processing'. Finally I decided my phone wasn't going to be hostage to this app anymore. Do not waste your time or your money! ### 1/5 — Scam unless updated *2021-05-17, version 11* Exciting concept but no cigar. Review history shows that this app used to work but needs to be updated! It currently does not do it’s job and I’ve tried to make it work many ways. Currently - it charges you $10 to install and then fails to work. The app needs to be updated or to be taken down. ### 1/5 — Bummed *2021-02-11, version 11* I do not like this app. It doesn’t even open in landscape. You are stuck in portrait mode - not cool. ### 1/5 — Just plain does not work *2021-01-01, version 11* Just plain does not work. I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2019-10-14, version 11* This app used to be great for converting pdf to excel and word. After iOS 12 it stinks. And I’m using the paid version. It will convert but you can’t do anything with it. As soon as you go to share, it crashes. Support is worthless . Use the Other options out there. ### 1/5 — won’t open on my ipad. *2019-08-04, version 11* why? the window pops up for a split second and crashes and closes. AND i just bought the app. How can tech support help me? ### 1/5 — Unhappy Customer *2018-08-15, version 11* This app’s OCR advertisement is very missing. It gives the impression that it can extract text from PDF files when it merely translates JPEG files to PDF. Don’t Waste your money on this useless app. ### 1/5 — Word to PDF Errors *2018-03-28, version 11* I tried to convert a PDF to Microsoft Word doc for editing. This App caused so many more errors in the new Word document form than the original document, including removal of punctuation, creating errors in URL addresses, etc. Very frustrating, would not recommend. I would love to have my $10 back... ### 1/5 — TOTAL WASTE *2017-11-02, version 11* first off it requires internet connection to upload your file to their servers. Oh and it returns a file that looks like it has been completely redacted and unusable. purchased good reviews tricked me again. would share screen shot terrible results but Apple doesnt allow that ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This App delivers *2020-01-05, version 11* I use several pdf APPs but this one always delivers and it easy to use Patience is sometimes needed, as the conversion may take awhile, or it is done very fast - hard to tell But it works !!!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-10-24, version 11* There are so many times I receive a pdf that needs to be edited, and instead of bothering others, this nifty little app can easily and quickly convert the file for me into a format that I am able to edit. ❤️ this app. ### 5/5 — 👍🏻 *2019-06-12, version 11* 👍🏻 Thanks, ### 5/5 — Always gets me out of trouble *2019-01-18, version 11* Easy to use & accurate conversion. ### 5/5 — Practical no-nonsense *2018-07-15, version 11* Itngets the job done fast no frills Efficient ### 5/5 — Amazing it Works *2018-01-03, version 11* Amazing it works! I scanned my receipts from my rental property and then transferred them to excel to double check the accounting of my rental property manager. Excellent app. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — PDF to excel *2017-12-15, version 11* Excellent conversion from PDF to Excel. Very Pleased! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-10-24, version 11* Love the app. ### 5/5 — Voiceover accessible *2017-09-10, version 11* Love it! Voiceover accessible. Definitely helps a vision impaired person read PDF documents. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Works exctly as described.. *2017-08-13, version 11* Occasionally, there is some minor reformatting I need to do on a spreadsheet or document. This app has been a huge time saver. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
