It has too many features to list and has saved me countless hours. I would highly recommend for anyone that utilizes PDF forms. I am on multiple job sites each day and this is a life saver for filling out all my paperwork with this app. ### 5/5 — Easy and Simple. *2015-06-08* I don't want to sound like the other review which they're talking from experience, I rather trust my apple device and most the app I choose working great like this one because the app developer has the right tool to develop the app making my device more powerful as ever. Two thumbs up! ### 5/5 — The most reliable PDF! *2015-06-08* One of my classes someone recommended me this PDF app, since we annotate a lot of PDF file each semester, i decided to buy this app for summer semester and I can definitely say, this is the most reliable PDF reader app available. Over all this app is a life saver when it comes to navigate and annotate PDF files for whatever you intend to do related to Microsoft word therefore related to this Pdf Editor, Thanks! ### 5/5 — I can do more with this one! *2015-05-02* This one of the most polished app, capable productivity app in the App Store. I markup complex pdf for my career and it does better job than Adobe Acrobat on my pc which it's expensive. I'm really amazed at how good it is. And it runs smooth as silk on my iPad mini. People who need to get an affordable app and get better quality for less money, you are on the right spot. ### 5/5 — The functionality is impactful! *2015-05-01* While I was hesitate to buy this for the price which is affordable but this app did not disappointed me. As an editor of a magazine it's important for me to be able to freely doodle, annotate, or whatever method I decide to give feedback. This offered so much precision. An app you should get for your business or for those who work with documents often. ### 5/5 — Already a fantastic program for my iPad! *2015-04-27* Great upgrade to an already good program. This upgrade has useful feature that make it worth for the price. The user interface is much improved. The ability to read text is great. The ability to track document changes like Microsoft word is useful. ### 5/5 — Excellent pdf! *2015-04-26* I work with pdf files all day long and this application is by far the best to annotate your files. Personally I find the interface cleaner and more professionally designed compared to other apps "annotate PDF and GoodReader " moving through the pages seems more fluid and handwriting notes work accurately. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — I want to keep my promise! *2015-04-24* I promised to give 5 stars if they fix this annoying glitch when you have PDF document open then switch to another app, when you come back to the app the document is closed. Thank you for fixing it, it was the only problem I had. Now I can recommend this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rita *2018-06-20* Please update app for IOS11 ### 1/5 — NUL *2017-10-16* Faute de mise à jour le 16 /10/2017 nous ne pouvons plus accéder à nos documents..... 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 ### 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 — 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. ### 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. ### 2/5 — Am I Missing Something? *2016-04-10* How did the ratings for this app get so high? Because I might be the idiot here, I gave it 2stars, but for its non-intuitive interface with no clear click path logic to complete even simple tasks without a major investment of trial and error, my rating is generous. After some random tapping around, and no suitable way to import a pdf from any means, I was able to select a pdf in GoodReader to open inPDF Editor. With some more random clicking I managed to delete a page from the test pdf but there was no Save File icon and no clear indication whether I was editing a copy or the original from GoodReader. I presumed it was a copy that magically saved itself. But when l looked for the file, it was nowhere to be found. So I closed PDF Editor and when I opened it again, there was my test pdf. But still no option to save it or export it back to GoodReader. Support? In your dreams! When I did get to the website and find a "Help" file, it included two topics that were totally unrelated to anything that could have been even remotely useful. ### 2/5 — Notescribe *2014-06-18* The app has a long way to go 1) pics load really slow if the photos are a large size. They cannot be scaled once in the app in a word document. They can be scaled in a PDF one. They talk about a tables feature but there is none. Falsely advertised feature. It could only mean you import them.Adding pages in a PDF document you add 2 at a time it seems. I would hold off on this app for now good potential but that is it. ### 4/5 — Helpful and useful lifesaver *2016-01-10* This is the perfect productivity app to get projects done without the need for a laptop. It is really nice to be able to keep different documents in my phone. I've tried a lot of the same applications but none are the same at simple to use and with so many features. Hope it future it will be the best! ### 5/5 — Fix it *2026-07-11* The ads show up back to back, I don’t mind the rewards but sometimes it makes you watch a video 2 times not one ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Useful, functional and simple *2016-05-22* I used to hate to work with PDF files for they were difficult to edit and I always needed a separate converter. So it usually took me much time and efforts to do all the necessary changes. This app saved me and my nerves. It is very functional, contains all the required options and even more. Making notes and additions has never been so simple in PDF. ### 5/5 — Good tool *2016-03-08* Everything you need when working with pdf files. This app has become my default PDF reader and editor. The ability to convert pdf file into word file for editing is really powerful and useful for me . The interface is user friendly, allows me to easily create and edit. Nice app ### 5/5 — Works as advertised *2016-03-04* The tools and versatility of this program are fantastic and I absolutely love this app. It does not stall or take time to load my pdf files. It gives me from basic to advanced features to make my document look perfect. Used daily to fill out forms for customers and never ever crashes ### 5/5 — It's very useful! *2016-02-11* I’ve been thinking for a long time before buying this app, because it is necessary for me – I always work with PDF-files. I was reading reviews and watching screens for few days. Then I saw this App in iPhone of my friend and I tried it in action. So I bought it. Finally, I’m glad! ### 5/5 — Useful and convenient *2015-12-06* This app is very convenient to use, I often make notes in my PDF-books while studying. Thanks to this application I can make or edit PDF-files right on my IPad. In fast and simple way I can study and get access to the documents whenever needed. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2015-12-05* I’m a senior project manager for a real estate company and this app is my key tool for everything. I use as scanner, as notetaker, I sign documents, I read books and documentation, I save all my important documents with password. The best part is to open 2 or 3 documents on the same screen, this makes me more productive. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
