PDF Expert Review

I have been using this App for about 12 months and continue to be delighted with its uses and ongoing improvements.
As a lecturer I use this app along with my iPad pro and find the ability to highlight, alter and add notes most helpful.
Pasting diagrams and combining other pdfs in my notes greatly enhances my overall experience of presenting myself as an interesting and well informed speaker who finds it easy to interact with my audience whilst speaking.
If there was one improvement that I would like to see it would be greater versatility with notes. The possibility of bullet points and numbers along with underlining and highlighting within the notes itself would be really helpful.
Overall I often wonder how I managed before I starting using PDF Expert and taking time to follow the learning curve means I am finding more uses every time. Great App!

Pricey but good

It’s pricey, feel like it should be sold for less - but at the same time I didn’t regret the purchase since it syncs on my other devices. Really good PDF viewer/annonator though … best one I’ve used yet. Lots of features and has a nice clean and simple layout. Can support really big files well. I think this is a great investment which will satisy your needs completely but you could also be somewhat satisfied with cheaper and even free pdf viewer apps. Have a look around and experience the other PDF apps before you buy this one for sure. Overall I am really satisfied with this app and there’s nothing wrong with it in terms of how it operates.

Best PDF Manager/Editor for Mac

PDF Expert is an expertly polished piece of software. Its user interface is sleek, it runs incredibly fast (even with larger PDF documents), and there are quite a few handy features on offer (such as night mode, which lets you view a PDF as white text on a black background).

Syncs in real time with the iOS version, with no hickups so far in over a year of use.

Biggest issue: no option to tag annotations (highlights and comments, etc), or to filter them by colour/tag - they all just appear in one big list.
Another downside at the moment is the lack of OCR (image-to-text conversion), though supposedly that feature is eventually planned. The app ‘Elucidate’ on the Mac App Store is a great inexpensive solution for this in the meantime.
Also, while the iOS version has a broad pallet of highlighter colours, the Mac version has only a few (hopefully they update this soon).
Full file explorer menu like on the iOS version is missing (only shows recent documents).
