Student Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I am sure that it is one of the best viewers and editors of pdf files." May 26, 2021 5.0 However, with its pros and cons, Xodo is a very complete software, although some technical errors have to be polished, it is not something that bothers much. Also within all the pdf viewers / editors that there are, in my opinion it is the best, ou, besides that it IS FREE Pros The software is very user friendly. It's very easy to use. First you start by opening the program, you open a pdf file and you can view it. And if you want you can edit that file, from highlighting text, inserting it, deleting parts of the file, placing a signature, shapes, images. Anyway, it is a very good option if you want software to view and edit pdf files. Cons There is very little to complain about Xodo. When editing a pdf and adding text, some form or a signature, it is somewhat complicated to place it in the part of the pdf that I need. Another point is that the interface is somewhat simple, and it does not match the logo, I would change the visual design. I would also like a custom display mode, combining styles.

PhD student Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Some points" June 5, 2023 5.0 Xodo is widely regarded as a user-friendly PDF editor and viewer, offering a range of features and a smooth user experience. However, sometimes it fails to reload the tabs from cloud resources. Pros I appreciate Xodo's intuitive interface, powerful annotation tools for PDF documents, compatibility with could resources, and supporting s-pen. Cons Some common criticisms of Xodo include occasional performance issues, limited document editing features, and disappearing some of the tabs.

Counselor Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "PhD student & solo practitioner Use Case" October 1, 2023 5.0 I like the cross-platform utility. The Google app does not feel like an afterthought compared to the Apple app. The browser access is good on both Chrome & Safari. Pros The annotation features are excellent. I opted to use this app instead of Samsung Notes default pdf editor because it was more feature-rich. That said, the constant syncing with the cloud is a little annoying because its slow even on a brand new S9 Ultra & with Wi-Fi 6 connectivity on a 5GB internet connection modem. Cons The utilization of the online drive is a bit clumsy, and the inability to sort pdfs into folders limits the usefulness of the Xodo drive to basically a temporary hold & sort before organizing items in a different storage location. Review Source Stephanie C. Online Task Contributor Market Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "#1 PDF experience" July 30, 2021 5.0 Pros What feature did I not life. I loved everything about this software. I will never use another pdf editing software again. Cons There is nothing missing in this pdf editing software. Review Source RP Ramesh P. Partner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Integration" October 22, 2023 4.0 Speeding of the licensing process Pros Preparing a digital license for licensees Cons The comment box can be more visible and easy to access - all licensees have different situations hence the need to add comments Reason for choosing Xodo Since the intergration from the previous, Xodo is gradually making improvements - It would be most useful if Adobe Acrobat which I have also subscibed to is available on the same Xodo system Review Source Douglas S. Técnico Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Melhor editor de PDF" May 30, 2021 5.0 É a melhor opção de leitor e editor de PDF atualmente disponível, na modalidade grátis. Possui a grande maioria dos recursos necessários para quem trabalha com pdfs editáveis. Para utilização em tablets, foi o app que mais se adaptou, sem falhas e/ou perda de arquivos. Pros Praticidade e segurança na gravação dos arquivos Cons Novo layout ficou desagradável em relação ao mais antigo Review Source Zwack N. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "More than a PDF file Manager." September 8, 2022 5.0 Pros Xodo is the only PDF manager which I believe goes beyond expectation. It has all tools required for a PDF reader and editor, and apart from that, it offers a good file manager where you can create folders and keep your files organized. Managing the actual pdf files is fun with Xodo. Files conversion from and to various file types is done swiftly and very accurately. It also supports scribbling with a stylus and produces very fine lines when drawing. Cons There is no feature worth my criticism on the application at the moment. Review Source BS Bhawana S. Manager Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Genuine feedback on Xodo app" December 10, 2022 4.0 Overall it is very useful for pdf reading, solving questions and saving your pdf makes it easier to use.

Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Xodo Amazing PDF Reader" February 20, 2023 5.0 Xodo PDF Reader is a great PDF Reader App for anyone that wants a reliable, fast and feature-rich app. I have had an easy and affordable way of annotating files using xodo PDF Reader which is also my number one application for PDF files viewing. Pros Xodo PDF Reader is a fantastic PDF file viewer with a lot of features. It can be used to open, view and print PDF files easily. It also has a built-in editor that lets you edit files. It is also simple to use and available in App Store for free. Cons The free version sometimes lags on low end windows computers. Review Source YR Yasmin R. Tutor E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Disappointed" January 19, 2024 2.0 Pros Writing on PDF is very smooth. It's one of the best softwares to write on with a graphic tablet. Cons Very frequently, the programme doesn't open and I have to re-install. Also, changes are not saved when I work on iPad. Review Source MD Meg D. Housewife Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Xodo" November 15, 2023 3.0 Pros Works well for very large pdf files. Renders high def well.

Develop Director Philanthropy Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Editing Dated PDFs Couldn't Be Easier - XODO was made for this!" February 13, 2024 4.0 Professsional editing and the development of out of date information Pros As professional communicator I have the need to take dated docs and update them. What I like the most about XODO is that the app let's me quickly upload PDFs and simplifies and quickens the editing process of these docs (reports and designs) I am assigned. Cons All good so far. Looking forward to getting more done in less time. Review Source Yogesh J. Customer Success Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "stay on top of your documents with Xodo" July 12, 2021 4.0 Well we keep on sharing docs with customers on our products and also training docs which requires editing on existing docs many times - xodo had helped us to save time by ensuring that we are able to edit PDF in very quickly . Pros what I liked the most in this software was its capabilities and offering when it comes to editing PDF, adding annotations, underlining points - highlighting things in the doc. This proved very helpful when working documentation related to products that we worked on. Second thing is it allows to open multiple files thus giving users flexibility to work and edit multiple files at same time . Cons Features are good but not user friendly for non tech users e.g one has to search and understand features for inserting pics/adding annotations etc. Review Source Josemaria B. Consultant Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best PDF editor, writer, and viewer for my Samsung Note" September 30, 2020 5.0 Xodo leverages on the capabilities of a device like Samsung's Note smartphones. It's a solid app that makes editing, viewing, and annotative PDF better. Pros Xodo makes it easy to open, view, read, and annotated PDF files. Since I'm using a Samsung Note 10, I find that this particular app works really well with the S Pen. Just recently, it also introduced a new feature to open non-PDF files like .docx and it works quite well too. If you want to annotate these non-PDF files, Xodo will automatically convert them to PDF. Cons What I least like about the software is that it isn't as intuitive when it comes to switching between pens. Yes, you can choose the color of the pen you'd like to use for signing or annotating a document, but I wish you have all the tools available, without having to go the top-page navigation. This can make accessing the eraser or highlighter more convenient. Switched from [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) I found Xodo easier to use.

I downloaded and installed it in minutes and was immediately reading my PDFs there. It quickly recognized my device and all the folders where there were PDFs. Pros It's free, this is important, when we have many PDF products that sooner or later try to charge you something. It is powerful, it allows you not only to read, turn pages and rotate, but also to make annotations, sign, etc. It is easy to use. You download it, you use it. There are no complex configurations and in minutes you have a powerful PDF reader on your phone. Cons It does not have a functionality to photograph multiple pages and generate a PDF with OCR. I'm sure the manufacturer has these technologies, it would be remarkable if Xodo made them available. Review Source rP rishi P.
