No incentive was offered Incredibly frustrating! Have been in contact with them (PDF Reader Pro Team ) on a regular basis for over half a year now and not a SINGLE ONE of the 10 Fatal Flaws has been fixed!? #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros It opens .pdf documents, that's just about it, unfortunately. #### Cons Good day,Any updates on when you will fix these 10 fatal flaws in your software? :1) Not being able to EDIT text in a pdf?! (Probably the single most important thing your software can not do without)2) Not being able to edit whether a font is in bold, italics, etc.3) Exporting text to Word (or others) without turning it into an IMAGE?! (with completely uneditable text)4) Command + Z (on Mac - should be 'undo') is not working5) When text is added, it's impossible to move or highlight the text using the cursor keys and shift (let alone cut/copy/paste)6) Command + X (cut) does not work although Command + V (paste) does.7) Once an 'Add Text' cell has been added somewhere in a document, it's IMPOSSIBLE to get back into it, if one has to edit any information.8) 'Add Text' cell can NOT be moved using cursor keys to place it with more precision9) If there are boxes to 'tick' you have to do 'Add Text' in order to be able to put an X or a 'tick' - In Acrobat you just TICK and DONE!10) If you accidentally 'bump' a line of text in a document in Edit mode / Add Text mode, the software FORGETS where the original positioning of the line was and the lines all get SCREWED UP!It's impossible to recover from this, you have to start from scratch! #### Reasons for switching to PDF Reader Pro Before having to switch back to Adobe Acrobat Pro because of these 10 Fatal Flaws of PDF Reader Pro, it was because Acrobat Pro is very expensive since you have to buy a subscription. However, unlike PDF Reader Pro, Adobe Acrobat Pro actually WORKS! Sad that we are left with no choices: 1) To buy PDF Reader Pro for $79 (like we did) and find out post factum that it simply does not work for the intended purpose or to pay an exorbitant amount for subscribing do Adobe Acrobat Pro. --- ### PDF Reader Pro Review - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ayah A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
