Listening to the latest MPU podcast (on iPad workflows) made me realise that I’m really not getting much value from what is a fairly expensive annual subscription to PDF Expert.
Don’t get me wrong, I really like the app - and use it most days, primarily for:
Highlighting
Annotating
Signing Documents
Exporting to DevonThink
The problem is that only the signing of documents is part of the subscription plan with PDFExpert so it feels like I’m paying a lot for one feature.
David mentioned PDF Viewer, which I’ll definitely check out but I thought I’d ask in here whether there were any other thoughts on alternatives I should look at. Or perhaps, anything in the subscription plan that other PDFExpert users find really valuable.
I did not even know they offered a subscription. I bought it once from the App Store and also for the iPad. My business uses PDF Expert exclusively and all our paperwork is PDF. We are a paperless office.
I checked their website and do not see a subscription service offered. Bought in 2016 and I think I paid $15.00 at the time.
I forgot that. We alway use it on a Mac. I see that my iPad is more limited and encouraging signing up for Pro. Is there a pro for the Mac app or do you just get it all with the standard one time buy? It all appears to work on my Mac but maybe I am missing something.
We were able to get away from Adobe 5 years ago and save a lot of money.
I used to use PDFpen pro for most pdfs. However, since Smiles sold that to Nitro, I feel that the level of customer service and the app itself is not as good. I am also looking for PDF alternatives, hence I welcome everyone’s thought and feedback
Why not use DEVONthink for all of those? I used to use PDFpen Pro and other apps like liquid text, but now use DTTG for all my highlighting, annotating, and signing needs.
