Response from developer

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

Frustrating

I purchased PDF Export Full Access & PDF Export - Scan. There is 2 IOS app with the same name. The apps are not intuitive.

越改版越难操作

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!

Response from developer

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

Remarquable !

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 !

Ten dollars for nothing!

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.

Only PDF TOOL 4 ME!

用多张图片制作好PDF分享给老板竟然图片大小不一

用多张图片制作好PDF在查看器显示是一样大小的图片,花了88购买才能分享,分享给老板竟然图片显示大小不一,请问怎么处理

Response from developer

中文回复 你好,tracylu66, 谢谢你的反馈。要让多张图片生成的 PDF 每一页保持相同的页面大小,请在创建 PDF 时按以下步骤操作: 点击右上角的“选项”。 选择“PDF 设置”。 打开“PDF 页面设置”。 将页面大小设为固定规格,例如“A4”或“US Letter”。 在“边距”中选择“无”。(如果需要边距,可选择“普通”或“窄”。) 完成上述设置后重新生成 PDF,分享出去时每一页都会保持相同的页面大小。 如果问题仍然存在,请把示例 PDF 以及几张原始图片发送到 support@livebirdtechnologies.com ,并附上你的设备型号和 iOS 版本。我们会尽快排查并协助解决。 祝好, PDF Export 团队

Genuine Review of this App

This app suck in my iPad Air M3. This is utter slow and never responds in My ipad and you cannot restore the purchase when you try to open in iPhone with same apple ID. The mentioned reviews are fake don’t trust.

Response from developer

Hello iampriyesh, I’m sorry for the poor experience on your iPad Air M3 and for the trouble restoring your purchase on iPhone. Let’s tackle both issues: Performance on iPad Air M3 Update to the latest app version from the App Store, then restart the iPad. Try opening the app with no other apps running (force-quit others) and test with a single PDF to isolate whether a specific file triggers the slowdown. If the problem persists, please email a short screen recording plus your device/iPadOS version and a sample PDF to support@livebirdtechnologies.com so we can reproduce and fix it fast. Restore Purchase on iPhone (same Apple ID) • If you’re using the Lite app (free download with in-app upgrade): open the Lite app on the iPhone and tap Settings > Restore Purchase. Wait a few seconds for Apple’s servers to validate the receipt. - If you bought the paid Pro app (separate listing): install that same Pro app on the iPhone using the same Apple ID; Pro is included and no restore is required. - If you see “Pending” in App Store purchases, Pro unlocks automatically once Apple completes the charge; then use Settings > Restore Purchase if needed. - Note: there’s no login in our app; purchases sync via your Apple ID only. If you ever reinstall, move local files into the iCloud folder first to avoid losing documents. About the reviews We do not buy or edit reviews. App Store reviews are posted by customers and moderated by Apple. If you believe a review violates Apple’s guidelines, you can report it within the App Store. Please write to support@livebirdtechnologies.com with your device models, OS versions, which app you installed on each device (Lite or Pro), a screenshot of Settings > About (from inside the app), and any error messages. We’ll get this straightened out for you.

Деньги на ветер( А разработчик, полагаю намеренно занимается обманом

Абсолютно бесполезная программа. 1000 рублей, а пользы ноль. Разработчиком предлагается PDF документ, в котором якобы можно поюзать функции программы. Воспользовался этим, испробовал все функции и приложения мне действительно понравилось. Текст редактируется, ненужное в документе можно удалить, что-то добавить допечатать, можно было редактировать картинки.
Купил Pro . Оказалось что все перечисленные мною возможности возможно только в документе который был мне предложен разработчиками. Все же другие документы это бесполезное приложение распознает только лишь как картинку а не текст и всё что можно в документе делать это лишь подчёркивать, выделять и рисовать что-то поверх текста. Ровным счётом все его возможности ровно те же что и в любой бесплатной PDF читалки.
Очень жаль. Не рекомендую.

Response from developer

Ответ на русском Здравствуйте, Arik212, Сожалеем о вашем опыте. Скорее всего, вы столкнулись с различием между текстовым PDF (как наш пример) и PDF-сканом, где страницы представляют собой картинки. В таких файлах нет текстового слоя, поэтому выделение и редактирование текста невозможно, пока не выполнить распознавание (OCR). Что можно сделать: Если файл — скан/фото, запустите Распознавание текста (OCR). После завершения текст станет выделяемым и доступным для поиска. Чтобы менять сам текст, используйте функцию Редактировать текст PDF (входит в одноразовое обновление Pro Plus, добавленное после 7 января 2025 г.) или конвертируйте PDF в Word, внесите правки и сохраните обратно в PDF. В Pro доступны аннотации: добавление текстовых блоков и заметок, выделение, подписи, фигуры и т. п. Мы не стремимся вводить в заблуждение. Пришлите, пожалуйста, пример вашего PDF и дату покупки на support@livebirdtechnologies.com — проверим доступ к функциям (Pro или Pro Plus), воспроизведём проблему и поможем настроить правильный рабочий процесс. С уважением, Команда PDF Export

Impossible d’ouvrir tous les fichiers PDF quelque soit l’origine

Response from developer

Bonjour Désolé pour le problème d’ouverture des PDF. Merci d’essayer : 1. Mettre l’application à jour depuis l’App Store puis redémarrer l’iPhone. 2. Enregistrer un PDF dans Fichiers, puis l’importer depuis PDF Export pour écarter un souci de partage. 3. Vérifier que le fichier est entièrement téléchargé s’il est dans iCloud ou un autre cloud (touchez l’icône nuage avant d’ouvrir). 4. Contrôler si le PDF est protégé par mot de passe ou corrompu en l’ouvrant dans un autre lecteur; saisissez le mot de passe si demandé. 5. Libérer de l’espace (au moins 500 Mo) et réessayer. 6. Tester avec un autre PDF (pièce jointe mail, téléchargement navigateur, cloud) pour voir si le souci vient d’un fichier précis. Si le problème persiste, envoyez un ou deux PDF d’exemple, une courte vidéo de l’erreur, le modèle de l’appareil et la version d’iOS à support@livebirdtechnologies.com. Nous analyserons rapidement et corrigerons le souci. Cordialement, Team PDF Export

Excellent app, Developers working on confusion

There are more DPDF tools here than any other app I’ve used, or read about.

Excellent PDF conversion options to keep me efficient in my PDF needs.

There are some issues that are being worked on by the Devs, I’ve had excellent and prompt multiple replies on my issues.

1. I paid for the lower plan a long time ago now, I recently paid the one time $12.xx Pro plan for life. It may seem pricey, but I tell you, there are many capabilities in this one app that after using several others and those with subscriptions etc, this is a great investment.
Please know that Apple delayed my processing of my payment, such that I thought something was wrong. That’s where I informed the team. They quickly replied. After reading their suggestions, it occurred to me to check my purchases. It said PENDING! I assumed that it may take a day or two for Apple to process. That became true. As soon as it accepted payment, I got the full features of Pro.
2. A major confusion is that when you pay for pro, they use another downloaded app for that level, but, it has the same icon, so it took me lots of frustrating steps and review to realize that two apps exist with identical icons. One needs to delete the “old” lower plan app. It will continue to show that you can pay for a Pro feature. And keep the newer one.

The Dev are now evaluating what to do, given my explanation of confusion etc.

If they make one app become the one and only app as one pays hope different plans, then I would rate it 5 stars.

App Not transcribing properly

This app doesn’t transcribe the recording correctly. The text changes the whole meaning.
