"Very Useful and Easy Application"

5/5

What do you like best about PDF Expert?

The ease to fill out the forms, submit signatures. Upon doing these tasks these are easy to send via email or save as a PDF. The best way to use is with Spark by Readdle (email app). The email works flawlessly with PDF Expert making it easier to work with email attachments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDF Expert?

Too many places to save the document becomes confusing. I had a hard time saving documents to Dropbox, iCloud, or just on my device. Some of the settings are difficult to figure out. Once you’ve taken the time to know the software, it works great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PDF Expert:

If you are on the road and do not have time to be printing forms, signing by hand, scanning the form again and then emailing it, you would love to have this application that will do everything from one device, no paper, ability to sign and annotate. Having “Spark” as your email application makes using PDFExpert more desirable. You can receive an attachment and right from Spark, edit the document or sign it and once you are finished it will reattach itself to a reply. Same goes for other Readdle applications such as ScannerPro. You can use your mobile device to scan with ScannerPro, and then edit with PDF Expert. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PDF Expert solving and how is that benefiting you?

I receive a form that needs signing, I can sign the document from my phone or iPad and then send it back to the originator of the email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From scanned images and receipts for Travel expense reports to slicing and dicing PDF documents (contracts, SOW and spec documentation, etc.) this makes it so easy to make the PDF exactly what you need it to be. What I make in PDF Expert is more usable than any other solution I’ve found. I’ve recommended it to all my colleagues, my boss, and whoever is sitting next to me in a business trip. If you are lucky enough to meet me on the road, or reading this review, you have found the best PDF solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
