On zooming in, a large white rectangle will appear unpredictably over a large portion of the page, and it can be difficult to fix.įinally, some important features are missing. The app will reload my home screen and my valuable work will be completely lost and irrecoverable. Frequently upon loading a saved folder (that'll have, say, five important PDFs in it), they'll disappear suddenly, with no explanation. My issue are the overwhelming number of bugs this app has. Text highlighting in particular works extremely well. Overall, the annotation features are very smooth and work well. My problems are not related to device problems) They both have 128 gb of internal storage. (Please note: my iPad is an Air 2 and my iPhone, a 6 plus. Rather than demolish a forest, I figured I could use my iPad and/or iPhone for this purpose. A lot of my teachers give assignments where I have a pdf to read, annotate, and bring in for class discussions.

The price was supposed 2b ~$12 & I got billed $20. Not a dealbreaker.Įven more dismayed when I realized it billed MORE than the discount price on a 4 day special than was advertised (& had NOT ended). Highlighting is strange, in that you have to quit the action to see it drop “behind” text selections. The squiggly underscore I like, but changing colors is awkward. It stores digital signatures, if that’s your thing. The toolset is spare & I just bought PDFpen for iOS on discount, based on another pdf annotator’s poor review for current version’s stability. Sight unseen I felt confident this would be better than a 5 year old desktop version. This looks like the 2 rev old desktop version of PDFpen I have.

Moving annotation text box works about 1/4 of the time, if that.ħ. Probably related to failures in sync process.Ħ. After dragging items into folders (which I love), a grayed out copy remains on the screen outside the folder. Takes several tries just to highlight a short sentence (single line).ĥ. Only way out is to zoom way in, grab handle, drag until it gets stuck again, zoom in even more, grab handle again, etc. Highlighting does not recognize finger drag across text-gets stuck. Sync not updating changes (none of my updates appear in Dropbox, in spite of repeated forced syncs over the past 30 minutes).Ĥ. Cannot trigger sync without closing window then reopening it.ģ. PDFPen (and the desktop Pro) version have been my "go to" for several years, yet the current iteration on iPad is nearly unusable:ġ. Paper_Queen's Review of Pdfpen 6 Pdf Editor Reviewed on 11/22/19 1:27 PM Update riddled with bugs star star star_border star_border star_border But I can’t be continually disrupted by the bugginess and awkward implementation of some features. I’ve stuck with this app and developer for a while now, because I truly believe in the potential of this product. And there’s no continuous scroll preference. There’s no ‘erase’ button- you have to click and hold on the annotation to manage that. I appreciate the feature set, but sometimes the Pencil works, sometimes it doesn’t (I discovered that it defaults to 0% opacity randomly, so you have to reset the opacity settings in the middle of a workflow upon occasion). You have to tap the ‘Annotate’ button and click on the pencil button just to write on a document. There are often times too many ‘clicks’ to enable functionality, like for Apple Pencil- it doesn’t ‘just work’. Random crashes, visual glitches (sometimes portions of the PDF page are unviewable for no apparent reason Apple Pencil works, but it’s not a smooth experience swiping pages many times takes 2 or 3 attempts etc). And the developer has a great reputation- many accolades from some experts in the field.īut it’s sooooo buggy! And it’s got a strange organization scheme (some of this is personal preference). It covers iOS and Mac, and syncs between the two. This would be, by far, the best PDF managing platform out there.
