Gros préjudices et faute des auteurs !! ### 1/5 — Pas de mise a jour *2017-10-12* Doc enregistrer dessus cette application pour mon boulot donc important et ne peu plus avoir accès par faute de mise a jour de leurs part ### 2/5 — Buggy & falling behind on iOS updates *2017-02-05* Update: Ok, well that didn't take long. it's official, I wasted my money buying this app. Evens the page scrolling setting, sometimes it works and sometimes they doesn't. I set it for continuos vertical page scrolling. Worked the first time and now it's scrolling horizontally even though when I check the setting, it still was set to vertical. Why can't ANYBODY develop a decent PDF editor? Either they're not much more than readers or they're buggy junk. ------- All the positive 4 & 5 star reviews cannot be real. The app is not all that good. It is NOT intuitive in many places. It crashes selecting any document to export from what I guess is the main screen. I select Edit in the top right. Select a document and when I select the export iron on the bottom it crashes. Every time, even on their misnamed User Manual. It is not a User 'Manual'. It's an overview of the features the developer decided to cover. Like it does not cover how to import a web page. It's saving grace was that was 'cheap', $3.99. The developer is not staying current with the iOS updates. I don't regret buying it...yet...but I cannot honestly recommend it either. ### 5/5 — Reasonable price - good product! *2017-01-13* I purchased this app because of its competitive price comparing to the acrobat.. I totally do not regret my choice, there are so many features with this app, like possibility to work with word, txt, pdf and even audio files. The app is simple, which is one of the most crucial factors for me. This app definitely is a good choice. ### 1/5 — Does not work! *2016-12-13* I am afraid this app doesn't work. It fails to convert PDF to word so you cannot edit any text. Why are they put out for sale when they are not obviously tested properly? I am now getting a warning that this app will slow down my I pad, so what is happening? ### 2/5 — Pas fiable cause bug. *2016-10-26* Super appli simple et efficace, mais bug inexplicable , écran noir sur docs pdf récents édités et enregistrés sous iOS 9.3.5. Merci de mettre à jour pour fiabilité. ### 5/5 — Best features *2016-06-24* PDF Editor has a wide range of PDF creation options, including creating PDFs from blank pages, converting other files into PDF format and modifying existing PDFs. It can convert webpages into PDFs as well. The software also converts scanned documents into editable and searchable PDFs. This app makes it easier by creating streamlined menu bars that have only the most often used tools on the ribbon. In addition, the Tools, Sign and Command tabs have a drop down menu of main and advanced commands. You can select which commands go in your main bar. ### 5/5 — A perfect tool for me *2016-06-22* In many ways, PDF Editor matches Acrobat Pro feature-for-feature, while offering useful extras like a more flexible search and a more familiar business interface. When you add in the fact that it's much cheaper than Adobe's offering, it has to be a contender for anybody seeking a PDF tool primarily for archival and group work. This app provides the level of functionality that the professional user has come to expect at a keen price. The user interface is modern and easy to use, and it provides no shortage of FAQ web page and easy access to support options to get you up to speed in record time. The best part of it it costs significantly less than virtually all other business-oriented PDF editors, yet providing the functionality you’d expect. The app also contains a word processor, the fact that it can read and write PDF files means that its more than capable of acting as a PDF editor, thereby suggesting comparison with some seriously expensive competition. While the professional aspects of professional PDF editors are there, for simply editing PDF documents, this app is perfectly what I was looking for. ## Frequently asked questions about PDFMagic ### Does PDFMagic have ads?
