THANK YOU PDFGEAR

Was struggling with my hydrology class due to needing to clip photos of excel graphs into scanned pages of my handwritten work. Scoured the internet looking for a cheap online PDF editor to do this and couldn't find anything for weeks and finally someone recommended this app and it saved my life. It's so user friendly I'm honestly so relieved to have found it.
Thanks to everyone that made it available and free!

Lots and LOTS of bugs

I really want to buy this software but the number of bugs is just outragious. It is constantly quitting on the current vesion of MacOS while trying to add pages, extract pages, change the size of a notes field, and many other situations. You can open a PDF, make a modification, and hit Save, but it won't save. You have to save with an alternate name more than 50% of the time. (I lost a lot of work before realizing this.) I gave it 4 stars because it has potential.

On the plus side, besides free, it allows easy access to features, that Acrobat has made difficult to find and execute.

I am currently bouncing between Acrobat Pro which is hard to use, Preview which does a poor job with PDF files, and PDFgear. I probably need to go look for another solution.

Cannot be Simpler

Works seemlessly for me. Will be interesting to see how easy it will be to uninstall when it puts up a paywall?? If it's priced right for non industrial strength users I might consider it. For free it's a terrific option.

Easy to Use

Amazing PDF reader, etc. I was whizzing around and working on PDF documents within minutes of downloading. Highly recommend!!

Good but could be better

The control f search layout could use an overhaul. Using keyboard arrows to move to next search result would be great. I would also get rid of the sub window under each page number. I think having the page number and search result right under would be better IMO. It seems faster than preview which is a plus. I would also change the highlight color in the search window, kind of difficult to tell which search result I am looking at on the list of results
