CONVERT PDF TO WORD, EXCEL, PPT AND VICE VERSA Some apps let you convert files to PDF. We let you do that and more. Now you can export a PDF as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, TXT, JPG, or PNG file while the original document remains intact.

  • Text editing is painful

    By mrose17
    The typeface settings (font, size, emphasis, etc.) seem to jump randomly. Copy-paste doesn't preserve the formatting. Not possible to copy-paste between pages.
  • e-signature

    there’s no easy or obvious way to import a digital certificate, despite what it says in the app description.
  • Good PDF reader

    By a student and reviewer
    While there is a yearly subscription model, the free model is still quite functional and this is overall a very good and reliable pdf reader and pdf annotator (where the annotations are in native PDF so that the marked up pdf files stay in pdf format are compatible with any other pdf reader), which is different than other markup apps that have their own native format. pdfexport also works quite well with icloud, allowing you to keep your pdf files on icloud so that these files stay in sync with your laptop, phone, and ipad etc.
  • Freezes- Requires Fore Close

    Continuously freezes and needs to be forced closed.
  • Very good software

    The organizational ability of this software is very good. OCR is also fairly good as well although it could certainly benefit from leveraging AI to make it even better. Finally, when REFRESHING and reading from directories - performance is very slow with regards to updating and could be improved in that area. For example, rather than reading the file and generating the thumbnail image, you could cache such information and simply read the filename thus making the software fare more efficient during a refresh.
  • Good, but wish it was Bluebeam

    This is a good PDF viewer for the Mac since options are limited, but the more they can become like Bluebeam the better.
  • Lack of PDF Expert in iCloud folder like iPad version is show stopper

    By NicknameZ
    For some reason, despite the fact that you can actually use iPad and iPhone apps on a modern Apple Silicon Mac, the Mac version does not support (unless I am missing it) the ability to have a PDF Expert in iCloud folder and default setting. I work between my iPad, iPhone, desktop Mac and laptop and have found myself in a situation where the file I need was not on my Mac.
  • The best PDF workhorse ever (been few years, same goodness)

    By Rjturbo
    (Even more years later, still the best for PDFs!) Great for marking, editing, correcting research articles. I would be lost without it. When it went down for a few days, I tried my old programs and was lost. It is a good program. I bought the extra package but did not buy the subscription package. I wish the creators well.
  • DO NOT BUY IF YOU NEED CAC SIGNATURE ABILITY

    By Yoyojobi
    PDF Expert is great if you need a bare-bones PDF editor. If you are in the US military/gov or need the ability to digitally sign documents via digital certificates/common access cards this is NOT SUPPORTED by PDF Expert. They hide this info and it is confusing when googling as none of the search results give you correct information. I reached out for a refund (~ 45 days post purchase) and was told to kick rocks (out ~ $140). Customer service was kind but not helpful. STAY AWAY!
  • Great App!
