I there is a signature needed when I am away from my office computer I am able to do that from my phone.When I needed support from the company they responded in a timely manner and solved the issue quickly. The implementation within my company has been smooth for many years and it is the application I will use on a daily basis.

What do you like best about PDF Expert?

PDF Expert has a very logical GUI, and opening and editing files is a breeze.

I still revert to PDF Expert on occasion, but it’s no longer my go-to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDF Expert?

PDF Expert is rather expensive for the occasional user – but fine for professionals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"🏃🏼Fast and Reliable replacement to Adobe PDF"
What do you like best about PDF Expert?

➡ Software loads incredibly fast!

➡ UX is simplistic and user friendly

➡ Switching between annotations and editing is straightforward

➡ Digital signature is available

➡ Adding and removing pages by copy-pasting between documents is a breeze

➡ I've been using it for a few years, and I don't ever recall it has crashed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDF Expert?

➡ It's hard to identify the shortcuts, but they do exist ...

➡ RTL editing is not available (at least not to my knowledge)

Honestly, I can't seem to find anything additional to like 'less' ... the team at PDF Expert has done a great job for this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
