Love this app

Overall this is a great app. It converts almost anything to a .pdf and allows be to print, etc. very easily. However, it's very finicky about trying to email or text the file to anyone, including myself. It sets up the mail/msg very easily but often the Send is grayed out and and I can't figure out how to make it ready to send either as an email or a msg. But, it's free and I've gotten WAY more than my money's worth. Highly recommend it

PDF Converter 5-Stars

Readdle PDF Converter is my second most favorite add-on app. My favorite add-on app is another Readdle app, called Scanner Pro. I have and use about four Readdle apps frequently—they are excellent. You really should get them. That said, I’m not a fan of Readdle’s Spark email app—it’s OK, but to me, Spark is not a five star app. In closing, I highly recommend both Readdle PDF Converter and Readdle Scanner Pro. I mention both here because they work super well together. Try to get them both, if you can. Thanks, Readdle.

Makes everything so much easier!

I absolutely recommend this app to everyone! You can turn those important docs and pics into PDF format in a jiffy!
There are so many different ways to use this app, which gives you the abilities to track and do things that are more of a priority than others! I would have forgotten how or where old documents are if it weren’t for this app!
So EASY 2 use!

Won’t Print

I’ve had this app for years. I don’t believe I ever tried to print a document with it, but today I tried to print one document, and it totally ignored me. The document did not print at all and I tried several times. The document is only one page and one sentence long so I know it’s not the length of the document that is the problem. Is there anything I can do? I am trying to print on an iPhone X iOS 16.2. Some help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Simple but effctive

I use it all the time. It turns almost everything into PDF instantly. I do wish it had a way to arrange files into folders, and a way to delete or rearrange pages. I usually convert things into PDF and then use a different app for the rest. It doesn’t have a lot of functions, but it does what it is meant to do very well.

Great app and so close to perfect

Nice app. Works well (now).

I tried to use this app several times a while back, and couldn’t get it to work. So I gave up on it. Recently I was deleting apps I don’t use, and was about to delete it, but then decided to test it again. It works perfectly now. Working on an iPad, I convert webpages I want to save as PDFs to reader view, and then use this app, with excellent results. After the conversion, it allows me to go directly to their app, or continue with more conversions. When I go to PDFConverter, I can process each file further, in my case, opening each newly minted PDF file in my preferred PDF reader. Whatever the problem was with the previous configuration (the previous version of this app plus the previous iPad OS, etc), it has been fully resolved. Thank you for a nice (very functional) app!

Very Useful

I use this app often and it has been a lifesaver for storing information needed, however, I wish there was a way to catalog stored information alphabetically or in some kind of order so that it would be easy to find an access when the time is needed.

A must have app

I use this app all the time for my PDF needs. Works great, easy to use. It integrates with iOS for iPhone and iPad. This is the kind of app one becomes grateful for. It doesn’t try to dazzle with goofy graphics or convoluted menu schemes. It’s really nice to be able to take an app for granted; meaning it’s so reliable you never worry about it failing.

Works great

This works great - as expected. Everything made by Readdle is excellent. I can’t believe others are charging $50 or more for worse functionality than what’s available here for free. Thank you, Readdle. If your reading this and don’t use Readdle’s email program Spark, you should. It’s the best email client out there IMO.

Push button easy!

I use near constantly to covert researched websites to pdf then file. With the exception of a few secured magazine articles almost everything pdf is a single button press away.

Simple and easy

Drafting PDF files couldn’t be much easier than this: although iOS can take some gettting used to, the process of drafting and sending your PDF files takes only seconds, and sending web files is equally intuitive.

Ease of use

If I had to summarize this application's most outstanding feature in one word: simple. It has a clean interface which means easy to navigate & good productivity. There could be more features that would make this a powerhouse. But nevertheless, great PDF conversion tool.

PDF Converter

I have paid for this and cant get help from Readdle Support. Another day and no answer from rdsupport - hey people Apple won’t help you either - all Apple will do it make sure Readdle’s email address is active nothing else. Troubles here started with iOS 13.6 update and now app doesn’t work and no one will help. It’s been 10 days and Readdle staff not answering - last email was “ we need a day or two or words to that effect. What’s with this poor service? Talk about ruining a good thing and poor customer service procedures.

SEAMLESS, EASY TO NAVIGATE, INDISPENSABLE

When the conversion or the transport of information in a timely manner is critical, this App really makes life less stressful. Plus, when you just want to make the documents you create shine with a professional flair, look no further. I really like its’ seamless integration and operation with the IOS platform as it is a regular option in the SHARE MENU of my Apple devices. Well thought out and developed App, and I have encountered NO GLITCHES during its’ use.

Fantastic

I’ve yet to find anything from Readdle that wasn’t excellent, and this app did not disappoint. Forget Adobe Acrobat’s PDF conversion. They want you to pay for that privilege, which is bundled with a host of other features, at a monthly subscription that is straight-up ridiculous. You pay a small amount for this app that I would happily pay for at an even higher price. You can then import into Acrobat or better yet...the Documents or PDF Export apps from Readdle. I deleted Acrobat. Adobe has great programs for those who like making it rain cash.

I love this app!

I bought it so I could do things for work without having to run to a computer - I work in a KITCHEN, running to my office to open/modify/convert to a pdf file is a ridiculous waste of my time. It's also perfect for converting things into a printable/shareable file quickly.

Great APP for I-Pad!

I’ve used this PDF app for several years, virtually exclusively on my i-pad. I have used it daily for literally hundreds of documents that I convert into PDFs — and then open in another app before uploaded to my cloud storage space. In a word — overall functioning is EXCELLENT and reliable — and a real time-saver for me.

Quick and easy

Advantages:
More options for making pages legible if they’re converted to PDFs (I use Goodreader). Much better for people with impaired vision.
Most of the garbage present on many websites is stripped out, and what remains can no longer track you, collect data on your reading behavior, etc.
Sensible pagination (unlike the native iOS converter, which often gives you one enormously long page).
Tip to other users: if a page doesn’t convert from within Safari, copy the URL and then select Clipboard in PDFConverter. The page should then be converted without any problem

Glitches (there are, however, workarounds for all of them):
Occasionally bails during conversion. But when you relaunch the file will be there.
Goodreader flags some of the files PDFConverter sends to it as in need of repair. No big deal, however, because the repair, whatever it is, always works.
It’s awkward converting pages for which a password is required (e.g. by a unversity proxy for access to paywalled journals). You can’t paste the password in; the only option I can see is to use Copied or something like that in split screen and enter the password manually.

Very, very, very handy

I have almost every app from Readdle. I started with one, then saw what the next could do, and saw what the next can do, and so on. They are incredibly useful for me. I do a lot of sharing of PDF files. Check out all of their apps. I’m completely serious. I have even used their fax app, and it is so handy as well. The security features are great. Secure logging into the app. Secure the PDF files. Edit them in other apps. They are interchangeable. The ability to save anywhere and sand through anything is top notch.
