Pros

  • The product allows me to manipulate pdf's otherwise blocked from editing - Great when someone creates a form that you need to edit to use. The price was great considering the alternatives.

Cons

  • They just deleted me and my perpetual subscription for the crime of trying to use it.

"Not honoring contract"

Overall: They just deleted me and my perpetual subscription for the crime of trying to use it. I have been canceled. They do not honor their contracts. Dishonorable.

Pros: I was using soda 9. It was a bit clunky but served my purpose for a lower price than an adobe subscription

Cons: I bought a perpetual use license to use soda 9 forever for one purchase price. They have now changed their pricing structure to a monthly subscription. As I updated my computer I had to download the free version and then convert to my subscription. They (soda) have made it progressively harder to use my bought and paid for perpetual subscription. My hard drive died so I had to download the free version and switch to my subscription. Suddenly that seemed impossible to do. I have always been able to log onto their site and see my perpetual subscription. I could do that this morning but after trying to apply my subscription to the software I got an email saying I canceled my own subscription and my log in no longer works. So in essence they just canceled me, my subscription and even my log in. Their site now says my user name is no longer recognized by their system.

"SodaPDF sets the benchmark of what a PDF-processing software should be."

Overall: Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with what the software has to offer, & will continue using it so long as it functions without causing me issues.

Pros: The straightforward user interface, accurate PDF-Word conversions & most importantly - the possword-unlocking capability. Recently, I received an auto-generated authentication report from a thrid party firm (which our company deals directly with) that required a password that wasn't supplied with the report file. SodaPDF was rather quick to unlock the file & save the day. I'm sure a similar circumstance is bound to occur & so I'll keep on using the software.

Cons: I'm genuinely unable to think of any problem or inconvenience I've had with the software. It's just great.

Switched From: Adobe Acrobat Reader
Reasons for Switching to Soda PDF: Opening & scrolling through lengthy documents has been an issue with the previous PDF software I've switched from. Hence, SodaPDF ultimately become my go-to PDF software.
