Верните деньги ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-01, version 13.2.2* Great app. Gets the job done ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-03-21, version 13.1* Terrible not accurate ### 5/5 — Nommy *2026-01-27, version 13.0* Wow fantastic work!!!!! ### 1/5 — Hi *2025-12-18* Not great in pdf edition , for exemple when I tried to edit pdf and add text , layout is bad and i can not add text properly as it selected the whole paragraph app like Pdf elements ,performs way better. Please try to improve the editing like pdf elements app or UPDF app or others . I didn't know that your app is bad at editing pdf. **Developer response:** Hello Kipoblue, Sorry for the rough experience with text editing. PDFs can be tricky—some files group entire paragraphs or contain scanned pages without a real text layer, which makes cursor placement feel imprecise or selects a whole block. A few things to try: 1. If the PDF is a scan/image, run Recognize Text (OCR) first, then try Edit PDF Text again. 2. Zoom in and long-press where you want the caret; if the app still selects the whole block, use Add Text (annotation) for small inserts, or Convert to Word (High Quality), edit there, then export back to PDF for heavy changes. 3. Update to the latest version—we’re actively improving per-line editing, cursor placement, and layout handling to make this smoother. If you can share one of the problem PDFs and a short screen recording to [support@livebirdtechnologies.com](mailto:support@livebirdtechnologies.com) (include your device model and iOS version), we’ll reproduce the issue and guide you step by step. We appreciate the comparison points you mentioned—your feedback helps us prioritize the right fixes. Best regards, Team PDF Export ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2025-12-16, version 13.0* I purchased PDF Export Full Access & PDF Export - Scan. There is 2 IOS app with the same name. The apps are not intuitive. ### 2/5 — 越改版越难操作 *2025-12-13* 想用电容笔编辑就得固定页面，可滑动的时候就写不了字，之前是可以同时操作的，就是边滑边写字，越用越不方便了，一肚子气！ **Developer response:** 你好，啊焦皮， 给你带来不便非常抱歉。新版的注释手势把“书写”和“滚动”分开，是为了避免误触，但按下面设置仍然可以边写边滚动： 仅用手写笔书写：打开 PDF > 点“注释”> 设置（齿轮）> 打开“仅用手写笔绘制”。这样就能用手写笔写字，同时用手指滚动页面。 双指滚动：在启用笔工具时，用两根手指拖动/缩放；单指为书写。 快速切换：在注释工具栏点“手掌/拖动”图标，在“滚动”和“书写”之间快速切换，无需锁定页面。 页面锁定：如果开启了页面锁定，请在 注释 > 页面锁定 中关闭，以便自由拖动。 我们也在评估增加一个开关，默认恢复“笔写时手指可滚动”的旧体验。欢迎把你的设备型号、iOS 版本以及一个简短录屏发到 support@livebirdtechnologies.com ，我们会帮你把设置调回到你习惯的方式。 祝好， PDF Export 团队 ### 5/5 — Remarquable ! *2025-12-07* Très bonne surprise en découvrant la nouvelle IHM de cette mise à jour et les nouvelles fonctionnalités ! Je vous avais écris, pour vous demander la recherche de texte qui manquait vraiment dans l’application. C’est fait, merci. Mais il y a aussi le scanner, l’OCR et bien d’autres choses qui rendent très professionnelle l’utilisation de votre application. Un grand bravo, merci ! **Developer response:** Merci! Pour vos précieuses contributions. Nous travaillons constamment à améliorer les normes de nos produits afin de les rendre plus satisfaisants pour nos utilisateurs. Dans ce processus de nos efforts, vos suggestions et appréciations nous poussent à avancer vers les perfections. Merci, Team Livebird. ### 2/5 — Ten dollars for nothing! *2025-12-06, version 13.0* I paid $9.99 for the Pro version and you can’t even convert a text file to pdf?? What’s the point of having the Pro version of ANY pdf app if you can’t even convert a file to pdf without paying MORE money for credits just to perform a single task! I searched the settings where one usually finds a 'restore purchase' link to restore the added features that were suppose to already be paid for with the upgrade to Pro. NOTHING there either! No matter what circus tricks it claims to perform, it will have its hand in your pocket for more cash every time you use it. So, beware, this app is a rip off! UPDATE: 12-6-25. Rating is now 2-stars. And that’s being very generous. Used to be 3-stars. I didn’t realize I had paid for Pro already. The new upgrade is supposedly "lifetime". Problems right away. The app reverts to the default EVERY TIME I add a new file! I HATE vertical scroll! So every time I work with a file, I have to change the setting to horizontal scroll. The tools take up 1/3 of the total screen space! Or at full size, they disappear completely, except for a text dropdown menu with a few choices, which are never what I want. All in all, the UI makes very poor use of its screen space. So, heavy users beware. All the features in the world mean very little if it’s a slog to use them. So much time is wasted tapping/clicking your brains out that you’re exhausted when you finally finish a task. Look at it this way folks: I wasted $14.00 so you don’t have to. ### 5/5 — Only PDF TOOL 4 ME! *2025-11-22* I’ve been using PDF EDITOR for ages… it does everything & anything I need plus hold & accesses external files allowing me to remember only one thing… it! Even the free version does more than other apps I’ve used through the years. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for the wonderful review—and for using PDF Export for so long. We’re glad it does everything you need and that the Files app integration makes it easy to access and organize documents in one place. If there’s anything you’d like us to improve or add, please drop a note to support@livebirdtechnologies.com. Your feedback helps us keep getting better.
