PDF’s Not Working when Open on a Computer

It fools your eye on the phone but not the one of the recipient so be carful not to look unprofessional. I tried this app with different formats of a PDF file to test how it behaves when other people receives the edited documents. I’m sorry to disappoint all of you who have not checked it before but it simply does not work when the document is open on a computer or other device. I used a PDF form (the type that has boxes to fill with info) on the app it works, once I emailed it to myself and opened it on the computer, the boxes appeared empty or had a line across. I clicked on the boxes and the info will appear but will disappear as soon as clicked other areas. Also, the font used in the text box that you create on the app does not match Acrobat’s font so when I click on the added text box it turns the whole box the color of the font and the text disappears. A total fail if you sent your document away. If you are trying to use Dropbox it glitches and only opens some folders so I have to open Dropbox app separately and save a copy of the file on the visible folder in this app. Lastly make sure to save by renaming the document, the auto save feature does not work when you upload to Dropbox or Drive, basically you’re saving the original again without the changes.

Super Handy App

Love this App....works wonders on an Iphone and makes so much more so much easier and obtainable via Iphone vs having to use a computer. Can access most everything right on our phone now and even upload and forward or send most all needed documents. Can't begin to count how many times this app have been a complete life saver!! Thank you Wondershare! No complaints here,do wish more features where available throughout each app instead of having to open multiple apps and somewhat bounce back and forth between them. However despite that small inconvenience you have still absolutely completely saved our butts hugely several times. Thank you for all the simplicity and conveniences you've brought to and made available on Iphone.

Not as promised

The app store indicated that the OneDrive cloud service would work with this program, it is not an option on either my iPad or my iPhone app. In addition when I try to get "support" it tells me to enter an email address (which I logged in with) but gives me no place to enter said email address. I also have the Mac version that cost quite a bit, so I'm a bit frustrated at this significant deficiency in this program.PDF Expert, which also has a Mac version, works as advertised in iOS. It costs a bit ($10) but it WORKS, which saves me at least that in time alone.Update: upgraded this app to three stars because you can get to OneDrive through the iCloud Files interface, I can't find a way to save it as a common access tab, like Dropbox, but you can get there. Additionally, you can only have one file open at a time which is a limitation for what I want to use this program for.

Great company

Another fantastic app and software from Wondershare! This app is a very clean and user friendly pdf reader that allows editing and annotations! Exactly what I needed! More importantly is the way Wondershare treats it user! I have many of their products and I have been so impressed. If a user needs help they have supports in place to help. They believe in their products unconditionally and will actually speak or chat with you to problem solve. In addition they want their product to work for the user! They even requested the document I was having trouble with and worked with me and truly listened to what I needed. They do not just ask what you would like the software to do, they actually do their very best to add the option to the next update! Wondershare is a company that remembers that technology should make people’s life easier and they work to keep you a user to their work.

y'all shouldn't complain... it's free...

please stop complaining and using harsh comments when the software is provided to you for free... if it doesn't do what you want, then go get something else... if you're THAT picky, i suggest actually PURCHASING something that fits your needs...this app is great... does what it says... if you can't use it properly, there's a problem with you or your device... "id10t" and "pebcak" errors are most likely what you're dealing with... look it up...i've been using Wondershare products for years... free AND paid software... the products are solid... they do what they say, and the company has great support if needed... what more can you want? you aren't going to find perfection in software... the perfect software doesn't exist... but if you want solid products that are alternatives to the more expensive and bloated software packages, Wondershare always delivers...

GREAT APP

Okay, I never ever ever review apps, but I just had to review this one. During quarantine, I’ve had to get used to doing things online, same as everyone else. I don’t have access to a printer in my home, and the majority of the assignments I receive as a college student require you to either have a hard copy of the homework, or access to a PDF editor. I was really struggling with completing my homework until I found this editor. It’s fantastic. It does everything you could possibly need it to do. It allows you to add text, drawings, change color and font of the text, do multi-page editing, it’s a dream.A WORD OF ADVICE: This took me a really long time to figure out. In order to edit a picture from your iPad, you have to click on the + sign in the top right hand corner, click on ‘Camera’, and then you can access any of your photos. After I figured this out, this has been the best product I could have hoped for, and meets all my needs. To top it all, it’s FREE!!!Thank you so much to the developers of this app, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate having a great free product to be able to utilize for college! 10/10 highly recommended.

PDFelement first contact ....

I downloaded the app, because I needed to create PDF from 21 pages of pictures of text, on my iPhone. There was no way to do it directly from my stored pictures and the guidelines in the app were not helpful at all, They already stated all what the app can do, but never described, how?I have finally figured that out yesterday after much time and frustration, these apps are made by arrogant young people, who assume that what is obvious to them, must be obvious to everybody.I finally tried the + sign, then camera, then multiple pages, there was no direct link to stored photos. I needed to make PDF from 21 pages of text pictures, there was no way to select them all together and transfer to PDF. I had to make 21 individual PDFs and then to merge them in one file, very tedious work in individual page transferring, needed counting number of already transferred pictures, because the text was to small to recognize in picture storage on iPhone.This App could be definitely much more user-friendly!

Does what I needed

My biggest challenge with PDF files is merging, splitting, and rearranging pages in the file. I have other software that lets me markup a pdf, but I had nothing that will let me manipulate the sequence. PDF Element fills the bill and has features that handle most all the other things I do as well. Thank you for this software. My only complaint is that the user interface is immediately intuitive. I struggled to find how to open files already on my iPad. Since the files feature in iOS makes finding documents so easy, I was disappointed that finding existing files was not easier. I have also found that importing files was a little clunky and the documentation was of little help in determining how to import existing files on the iPad. A few minutes of web searching provided me with the answers so all was good.

It would be perfect if it hadn’t these bugs!

When i installed this app I was just like woooow! it’s exactly what I was looking for. But then two issues disappointed me a bit:First_ when I wanted to mark or underline the words in a pdf format article, the app recognized the watermark in the background of article pages too, so it was going to mark whole the paragraph which was overlapping with the watermark.Second_ the performance of pencil tool in app wasn’t satisfying at all. I’ve got an apple pencil and when I wanted two write something down I must put pencil so vertical on my ipad screen otherwise it wouldn’t work. And it also couldn't write dots just by touching pencil to screen, I had to draw the dots like a circle.Please fix these issues because this is the best annotating app I’ve ever seen and it really deserves to be the best one. Thank you so much

Inscrutable and Rudimentary; Not Useful for me

I am upgrading my review. This app does what it says and it is useful once you accept its shortcomings. It is very good for merging pdf files, deleting pages, and rearranging pages. The pdf editor is very limited. Maybe the full pro version fixes these issues.I still have the following complaints that prevent me from giving more than three stars. The GUI for iPads is inscrutable. It needs a lot of improvement to make the GUI more intuitive. Even their online instructions for iPads are not really for iPads; they are for computers. I had to search the Internet just to see how to import a pdf from my iPad into PDF ELEMENT. In the editing mode, the iPad keyboard in the app is rudimentary. You cannot add bold text, italics, or underlined text. Holding down the delete key does nothing. You have to click the delete key for every character. The AI word suggestions are a mess. They don’t replace what you started typing; they add to what you typed creating nonsense. Maybe it works better on a computer since the instructions seem to be oriented toward computers. If the developers ever fix these iPad issues, I will update this review.
