URGENT: Sync not working

I’ve been using pdf expert for years and it’s been really good. However, for some reason, recently the sync feature for google drive folders is not working properly. The files don’t begin uploading properly. It just buffers and then the whole app stops working. Need a fix for this asap. PLEASE HELP!

A life saver

This software is indispensable if you use PDFs and who doesn’t? The OCR capability with the laptop version - the AI that can summarize - the annotation capability. just wonderful.

BEST PDF EDITOR EVER ENGINEERED!

I’m a Senior software engineer and have been a cheapskate and engineered my own to have gratis, until I discovered this one. Best ever! Highly recommend!

Recent update is very poor

I’m VERY disappointed with the updated app - it sacrifices efficiency & usefulness for aesthetics. Additionally, a tool consistency suggestion I made several years ago made its way into the app for Mac but remains unchanged on the iPad version. I think it may be time to change to Bluebeam.

As collection purchased one price for life

Never failed me so i trust it again
