Workflow catastrophe

At a quick glance PDF Expert looked like a fantastic product. It loaded fast! It seems to handele a number of things very well. But then… When you work with other software and document and need to extract or copy and paste content from this app, you suddenly find yourself in the dark ages. Each paragraph in its own perfect text panel. No chance of selecting a page of text and changing the font. So for the money I paid for this app - it has failed me terribly. But I am sure for the rest all is OK! And then for the money I paid I see there is a separate subscription fee to pay to have it on my iPad and my iPhone. Totaly not worth a dime extra. And not the premium product some claim it to be against the price you have to pay.
Advertised features are buggy or don't work

This used to be such a fantastic PDF reader, editor, annotator, and all round do it all app. But now I am finding more and more of the features are just buggy or plain don't work.It is very frustrating when you need to annotate a document or need to use a feature that you have come to depend on - like converting an important document to PDF - and it just throws errors and does not work.I used to recommend PDF Expert to everyone (I have tried quite a few PDF editors, especially on my iPad), but cannot continue to recommend the current incarnation of this app in good conscience, knowing just how bad it has become recently.

Earlier version Fonts
Bathu, GP
I've been using PDF Expert for quiet some time now and I find it to be a very useful business tool. Anyone who travels a lot and does his/her business whilst in transit needs this useful tool. My only challenge is that I have upgraded my Macbook Pro and had to download the latest version of PDF Expert. Now the new version doesn't recognize some of Fonts from the earlier version. When this happens, it becomes a nightmare for the user.
