Positive: It's handy in my work wrt convert document from/to PDF.

V12 is not so stable and I don't prefer.
When I installed V10 a pop up note often bothers me to upgrade, finally I had to upgrade as my account has not recognized my purchase of license renewal.

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
