Ratings and Reviews
Great Software
I personally think this software is the closest thing to Bluebeam for a MAC. I used Bluebeam daily but it no longer is compatible with latest MAC software updates. I do wish you could take screenshots or snips within PDFgear, as well as rotate images once you paste an image, or a screenshot onto the PDF. Another cool feature would be if you could cloud an item, not just circle. If this had all the Bluebeam features, i would give me a 10 star review but it is GREAT as it is as well.
I was able to create a new floor plan and make adjustments so easily. I would reccomend this for all construction personnel using a mac.
Great Software
About time there is an great alternative to the non-sense of the yearly/Monthly subscription of Adobe Pro. After reasearching the company I feel comfortable with this "free" software that is at the same level of Adobe Pro that I will be using. For "Home Use", this is excellent. I do understand that furture versions may have some in-app options that may be "paid", but I hope the company takes into account that most home users just need a reader with some edit and fillable options for personal use.
Unable to edit pdfs
Unfortunately, I am unable to edit pdfs other than to highlight, underscore, strikethrough, or smudge/redact. I need to be able to edit for boldface/lightface, italic/roman, etc. When I click on Edit Text, the pdf appears in a new window and is so tiny, I can't even read the text. When I tried randomly selecting text to see if a contextual window might pop-up, nothing happened. I can change a font and point size but can't do anything else. Also, the app won't even open some pdfs. I sent feedback for help, but haven't received a reply. This is really disappointing because I was hoping to find an alternative to expensive Adobe Acrobat Pro for use with my nonprofit organization.
