    Transfer your pdf file to word with Soda pdf

    Date: Apr 11 2021

    Summary: As mentioned I used Soda pdf in online schooling. Normally in the classroom I print out the working sheets (pdf) and distribute to the pupils - later I collect the results. In internet teaching this is not possible. I have a lot of working sheets in pdf on my stick. I need a tool that fits: pdf -> word. The transforming from Soda to word was lousy. The pupils know word, but they refused to fill out the soda result in word. So much different formats in the word file.
    The pupils did not want to print out the working sheets at home (costs ink,..) they want to fill out online in word.
    Other functions in soda I did not need and so I did not use.

    Positive: + runs under win10
    + a lot of functionalities
    + easy transfer a document (jpeg, xls,..) to pdf.
    + menu of soda is easy without explanation

    Negative: - automatic renewal of the contract
    - does not fit my needs after transforming from pdf to word

    Great product

    Date: Apr 08 2021

    Summary: For the short time i used the product it was great. I gave it 4 stars because of the auto update issue. Other than that i was pretty pleased with the overall performance. I just don't need the program at this time.

    Positive: All the best features of word plus a pdf program that a person can imagine. I enjoyed being able to combine files into a single pdf which made it easy to email to my acolytes.

    Negative: Was not able to figure out how to stop the auto updates and it slowed down my computer in the middle of important work on my project. My laptop also refused to use the program as a primary pdf location no matter how many times i reset the default.

    Lula Support over the years

    Date: Jan 14 2021

    Summary: Support at its finest in the software industry, something that you don't get from other software vendors these days.

    Positive: Lulu has stood by its end users to a very good degree. I haven't seen that in other companies that only want to promote their latest updated software for monetary gain only, I use an older version of Soda PDF 8 Pro because I can't afford to upgrade. The support team at Lulu have been extremely supportive when needed and I highly recommend their products.

    Negative: None that comes to mind. You can count on the support staff when you need them.
