SODA PDF Reviews

Summary: I use it daily for my self and for the museum I run and it works like I want it too. It is a great product to work with.

Positive: It works great. It does the job I want it to do. It is easy to use and plan with, I would recommend the product for others to use.

Negative: None. I have no cons to talk about, it works great.

Summary: I highly recommend SODA PDF Software from my own user experience. The merging and editing abilities with PDFs are much needed in our new virtual world.

Positive: Excellent, needed features. This software performs the two most needed features involving PDF files; editing and merging of documents. There are also convenience features such as converting DOC to PDF; but the merging and editing are the most needed.

Unlike most other open source softwares; I have received personalized and responsive customer and technical support.

I highly recommend SODA PDF Software.

Negative: The purchase features are confusing; ie., online access, software downloading and one time use.

Summary: Overall experience has been good and fits my requirements very well. Pricing is good compared to other products.

Positive: Great features at a great price.
A good range of features specially for conversions.
Much faster to use than the earlier versions.

Negative: Sometimes requires more time / processing power. No big deal though.

Summary: I have used Soda to accomplish tasks others could not do with other PDF programs. I am completely satisfied. Would recommend the Soda products to everyone.

Positive: Used Soda PDF since 2012 to create and manipulate PDF Files. Wrote sections of a manual, created PDFs, and then combined the files into a complete manual. Easy to accomplish. I also transcribed Civil War documents from a Southern Plantation and Soda PDF was invaluable to view the original copied documents.

Negative: Nothing that I ever noted. Support has quickly responded to queries.

Summary: Very pleased with the product so far. Been using it for nearly 12 months now. Soda PDF premium is great and looking forward to upgrade with even better functionality.

Positive: Great editing tool and form changing functionality. There is nothing the product cant do with regard to administration work on forms etc.

Negative: Can be a little difficult to navigate the tools and add on's. But there are good tutorials if you have the time and patience to go through them.

Summary: Overall, SODA PDF is a powerful and fully functional PDF editing solution that works equally well as a desktop application or web-based mobile app. Increases productivity by making many common tasks simpler, such as converting file types, resizing files, editing, digitally signing, and adding security. Good customer service and fair pricing provides value to businesses of all sizes. Free trial so nothing to lose by giving it a shot.

Positive: Clear and easy to use interface. Works great on desktop and equally well on mobile and tablet. Packed with features and functionality, it makes many tasks simple. Changing the file size of a PDF when saving couldn’t be easier. Good integration with cloud storage.

Negative: Application can be a bit slow when handling larger files and occasionally freezes/crashes. Helpful customer service, however.

Summary: Love it! Great work. There’s so many features. You’ll be blown away with how much you can get done.

Positive: I’ve been using Soda PDF editor happily for a year. Recently they doubled the price and I was very annoyed , but when I upgraded to version 12, Whoah!!! It has everything you need and the interface is sharp, easy and very user friendly. My favorite feature is the eSignature feature, you can even send for a document to be eSigned!

Negative: Initially i was annoyed with the price, but the upgrades make the price SO worth it! I’d also add that the upgrade process wasn’t as seamless as I’d like.

Summary: I wish more companies would respond to disputes like this. Also the agent I dealt with was exemplary in every way.

Positive: The representative I dealt with was professional and most respectful. I very much appreciate her attitude and help in settling my billing questions.

Negative: After everything is settled I believe it was a simple matter of misunderstanding.

Summary: I have been using Soda over 4 years and find it good and practical to deal with what I require. The online help is excellent.

Positive: Nice and straight forward product.
Besides the features that are included in Soda, is the excellent online service.

Negative: Due to unexplained reasons part of the features in the program disappeared. However, it was met with very good online help which assisted me to uninstall and re-install the program, and the problem was solved.

Summary: Overall the experience was positive. Response was quick and good.

Positive: Molly, the support assistant, got the issue elevated and repaired in short order (a couple of hours).

Negative: It shouldn't break. Why should it break? It shouldn't break.

Summary: Studying the software was not enough of my time yet, but my first impression, that it is necessary to practise my usage much.

Positive: Quick navigation between the libraries of the PC in the course of the filling of the files.
Express converting from another format.

Negative: EML converting format unsupported.
It is necessary to think a lot of what I shall use it as, the symbols help only little.

Summary: Good PDF product. I'd recommend to anyone that needs a PDF program and not willing to spend the high monthly cost of Acrobat. Great PDF for a casual user.

Positive: Ease of navigation. Editing is easy with good features. Overall, the Pros outweigh the Cons. Recommended.

Negative: Bill process. Needs to be streamlined. No bait and switch.

Summary: Great for comparing and proofreading documents. Needs some time to get used to, but the highly efficient work flow.

Positive: + Side-by-side comparison with scroll lock
+ Proofreading in various languages; similar to Word
+ Many more tools than Acrobat Pro
+ Fully compatible to Acrobat Pro (both ways)

Negative: - User interface is unusual
- Requires some time to find ones way through the tools

Summary: Overall, I am rating the software 7.5 out of 10, for a beginner like myself. i was satisfied with the cost, I probably didn't need the pro, and should have purchased the next package down.

Positive: To be truthful, I was looking for a low cost solution to editing pdf, and nothing more. It has way too many features than I desired . If you need to edit pdf on dwgs and nothing more, this is the product for you.

Negative: I was having issues with saving documents after I edited. I would get critical error messages, and don't know why. I submitted the pdf files to support, on a few occasions, and did receive feedback. I normally have 4-6 projects a year where I need to create PDFs and I managed to get my work done with this editor.

Summary: Good product would recommend but please revise cost since I believe this is a good product but way too expensive at regular price.

Positive: Very good product which I've been using 10+ years. Very interactive, easy to use and a lot of good features.

Negative: Nothing to complain about except excessive cost upon renewal of product compared to similar products.
