I have PDF Pen on my desktop and thought the Nitro app might be useful on a tablet. However, the iPad OS app works differently than the desktop and I can’t find a user manual for it. Is there one? Also, I am mostly interested in OCR and conversion to text documents. It seems like tablets these days have enough power to do that, so will these functions be included? Or are they already included but I don’t know how to find them??
Not all functionality available. No product support
Some of the functionality does not seem to be available on the (paid for app) - cant rearrange or rotate pages. Cant add to the library. Functions are visible but greyed out. There is no product support for the iOS app (only the desktop version) - if there is support I could not locate it. I opened a ticket and posted these issues on the community forum without any success. There are no dedicated iOS product areas. The user guides are hard to locate and only relate to the old PDF pen product. The app doesn’t cost much for a pdf editor but it’s still not worth the money.
I bought this thinking it would at least have the same basic functions as the windows app. It doesn’t. I can’t even create a table of contents from within the app (the main reason I bought this) or a basic fillable form. There is no support for this app to be found and the User Guide requires an internet connection. Skip this one, it’s not worth the hassle and is a major disappointment. I wish I could get my money back.
I have licensed PDFPro since Smile owned it. Since I switched to Nitro PDF Pen Pro on the Mac, I thought I should have the PDFPen version on iOS. What a mistake. I paid $10 for the exact same program and the same no support for the Apple Pencil. As a user, I can’t even supply a support request since they require a serial number to ask for help. No serial numbers in iOS. The link page about styluses brings up a 404 error. What an incredible boondoggle.
I purchased it for my Macs, and use the free Reader (which has considerable editing functions, including flattening) on my one Windows machine. Greatly satisfactory in both environments.
On startup the only option is to pay in full or shut it down. Also, the list of features given on the Purchase screen lack several key capabilities advertised. None of the comments listed are positive. I was a paid user of PDFpen Pro for 8 years, but going to pass on this one.
I’ve used PDFPen for years. The latest iPad OS version is a disaster, however. Every time I try to annotate a document, the app crashes without saving the annotations. This is extremely frustrating. I hope that Nitro will fix this app and support it properly. I hope that Nitro’s purchase of the app from Smile does not presage the destruction of once-great software.
I use Nitro Pro on my PC and love it. I created a fillable PDF on it but when I open in on my iPad, it crashes, making it totally unusable. When it does open my file, it crashes when I go to type in a field. I want and need this to work, but it's not ready for prime time. Please update this app ASAP.
I was simply trying to delete a few pages from an existing pdf so I could email it. The app couldn’t even handle deleting a single page, it would crash every time I hit Done. Buying this app was an absolute waste of $10.
I can’t markup/draw on a pdf that has editing disabled but markups enabled on the v14 version. Tried going to the website, community forum, submitting an issue, to no avail. Frustrated that there is no phone or live chat for customer support on technical issues.
I cannot see any way to rotate a pdf received in landscape view. The help pages do not apply to iPad. I will not keep my trial subscription unless it allows me to edit PDFs. That was how is billed. I have PDF Pen on my Mac and it very good.
The app can download now without purchasing… BUT, if you download and enter the app, you have to choose two options; Log in or continue without account. THEN, if you choose CONTINUE WITHOUT ACCOUNT, you have to buy the whole access with 9.99$… OMG!!! So amazing marketing… LOL… DON’T DOWNLOAD DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME DON’T FILL THIS TRASH IN YOUR PURCHASE APP… 🙂
