### "Refusal of refund. "

April 22, 2025

1.0

I really just always struggle. The fact that they are not trying to refund me is making the experience terrible. I wish they could put effort into this, then I would actually not complain.

Pros

There is not much to like, they are becoming super expensive for things you could have done for free in the past.

Cons

The fact that they did not want to help me at all with a refund. Miscommunication on the website itself lead to me subscribing for a free trial which ended up not being one, now they do not want to refund me - and it was R2000! I will never recommend PDF Reader Pro to anybody. No app is worth that much money, and above that, they are not willing to refund.

Pros

East to edit any PDF doc without any funky delay - select easily and edit away! Convert edited file to pretty much any type of files. ORC recognizes text not only from scanned document but even from images! Lot more other features

Cons

Don't know any cons! It might take you a little time to click around and try other features and maybe read some documentation. But once you're comfortable you'll love this PDF reader!

### "Clear and professional document presentation "

May 24, 2025

5.0

Have used it when sending documents to clients - really nice format and like that the info cannot be changed within the document sent.

Pros

The clarity of the documents and ability to share. Also like being able to share without others making changes to docs.

Cons

Would love to be able to edit in documents, but that would take away from keeping items secure. Otherwise no negatives!

### "PDF FILE READER THAN CAN DO ANYTHING"

May 5, 2021

5.0

PDF reader Pro has it all, you can delete other apps with same feature since this software has all the features you need from converting files, sharing, making documents, everything you want in just ONE APP. Ideal software if you have a low storage in your device and also high quality features.

Pros

This app allows me to edit file, annotate documents and made it easier to share files with my workmates and friends. Also, any documents are all likely compatible with this software. And it is easy to understand all application features it have. It has complete advanced features for editing and creating pdf documents, different colors for highlights, pen. Also, it is very manageable app.

Cons

It's a bit pricey for other people who's not usually using PDF reader in their daily lives and also and can't handle large sized document file.

### "PDF reader pro review"

March 10, 2023

5.0

Overall, I like the experience I've had and I'm still having with PDF reader pro.

Pros

Easy to use, and allows viewing of files satisfying in such a way that the documents integrity are never altered.

Cons

I think the fact that it doesn't allow vice versa conversion from word to PDF and from PDF to word without integrating a second party app is what I think the developers should include.

### "Best Tool for Online Schooling"

June 1, 2024

5.0

It was nothing but making my school life easier and even up until now since there are still online documents that are needed to be signed or edited. It is something that you know you will use for the rest of time because it is indeed best for people who are not that tech-savvy like me.

Pros

I've been using this since I was high school and more so during college since we needed to do it via online. I truly appreciate the convenience PDF Reader Pro provides especially is you are not tech-savvy like me. Also, I believe one of the best features is its capability of being able to search or filter words, you can immediately know in which part of the PDF you need to edit.

Cons

I've been using PDF Reader Pro for years and never have i encountered any problem with it, maybe it was only way back then, I couldn’t afford to get an upgrade to be able to use their other features.

PDF Reader Pro provides the independence of document editing, creating signatures, file sharing, document conversion, PDF reading, text editing, highlighting, File merging, etc. with great ease of deployment at minimum cost.

Pros

PDF Reader Pro is a simple PDF viewer for Windows that includes basic customization options. It is available for a free trial of 7 days and then available at a low and affordable price.  This does not require any special requirement of the system. This application offers a minimal set of capabilities for dealing with Adobe Acrobat files in a simple implementation. It has great features including OCR.

Cons

I did not face any problems with PDF Reader Pro while working with documents.

### "my go to pdf viewer"

September 30, 2020

4.0

Overall I use the programme daily and I am happy about what is allows me to do. My favourite part is that is can convert pdf documents to excel and word. That for me is a life changing tool that saves me a ton of time.

Pros

it is easy to use. you only need little time to master the software and use it for your needs. During meetings, it is easy to use the program to add comments, highlight part of text and write notes. You can also move items around if you need to.

Cons

The pricing is okay, in our case covered by the company. It I had to pay out of pocket I would maybe consider is a little pricey. When you want to convert a document to excel and it is a a mixture of text and tables, sometimes the results is not as as good as you expect and quite some time is needed for formatting.

### "One of the most intuitive PDF readers out there"

March 13, 2022

5.0

Pros

PDF Reader Pro makes it easy to edit my PDFs directly. I also like the graphical tools that allow me to annotate my PDFs with my stylus pen. It can also be synchronized directly with many popular storage services, so all of my notes and annotations are saved on the cloud and can be accessed from any device.

Cons

Sometimes there's a lag if I add too many handwritten annotations.

### "PDF Reader Pro- better then any other brand"

August 16, 2021

5.0

As we can connect to Dropbox, if we can ignore cloud service, it's the best PDF app can serve your purpose perfectly.

Pros

I do use PDF Reader Pro mostly for document management. I found PDF file edit, extract, joining is so easy that you don't need to go to any big brand.

Cons

I didn't find a cloud service included which is one of the important feature it should include.
