ZenDocs Reviews

Summary: I had to send large PDF presentations over email for a team meeting. I went to ZenDocs and found it pretty easy to compress them without losing clarity. The previews made certain nothing got cut off. In all, sending many large files was doable, easy, and free from stress.

Positive: Compression reduced file sizes to an optimal size while still keeping the document relatively readable. Previews were clear before downloading.

Negative: More preset size options for different use cases would be great.

Summary: I had to combine several client contracts into one document. Using ZenDocs, I was able to merge them quickly and retain the original layout. The process was straightforward, though I spent a minute locating the correct tool. Overall, it saved me time and kept everything organized.

Positive: The merge tool seamlessly processed even large PDF files with no lag, maintaining flawless formatting and layout integrity throughout the entire document.

Negative: Took a few moments to find the merge option among other tools.

Summary: I signed a multi-page NDA and uploaded it to a client portal in just a few clicks. Signatures came out looking professional and were accepted issue-free. A multi-sign shortcut would save extra clicks, but otherwise very efficient.

Positive: It was easy to sign documents, as it allowed for multiple signatures and initials. The signed document was downloadable with no formatting issues.

Negative: The inclusion of a quick multi-sign feature for signing documents in several places would be nice to have.

Summary: I compiled 20 product photos into a single PDF catalog. Image quality was high, and it was easy to do. A small point of improvement would be automatic page sizing, but otherwise, the workflow was smooth and efficient.

Positive: Converting images into PDFs maintained resolution, and multiple images could be combined in a single file. The output was consistent and easy to share.

Negative: The option of automatically setting page size to image dimensions would save manual resizing steps.

Summary: I reviewed a 50-page manuscript with colleagues and used annotation tools to leave feedback. The PDF export preserved all comments for the team. Having an easy print toggle for annotations would be helpful, but efficiency in review was excellent.

Positive: Highlighting, commenting, and drawing on PDFs worked well for peer review; shared documents retained all notes.

Negative: Exporting annotated PDFs could include a toggle for printing annotations versus hiding them.

Summary: I completed application forms over several days, saved drafts, and returned without losing data. The ability to pick up where I left off was a lifesaver. Autofill would speed up repetitive info entry, but otherwise very reliable.

Positive: Filling PDFs worked seamlessly: all checkboxes, text fields, and dropdowns functioned as expected, and save-and-return support for multi-day entries works flawlessly.

Negative: Common personal information would help to save users' time due to repetitive forms.

Summary: I compiled a number of client presentation files into one PDF-the result preserved links and formatting nice, and I avoided manually copying slides. It would be good if there was a thumbnail preview, but overall it streamlined preparation.

Positive: Slides and documents could be merged into one PDF rapidly, while showing consistent formatting and retaining hyperlinks.

Negative: Adding a small thumbnail preview of all pages would help confirm the order before merging large decks.

Summary: I converted several financial reports in Excel, which could then be analyzed. Most of the formatting remained intact, making data extraction quick. Some tables required light tweaking, but overall, it saved hours in the conversion workflow compared to manual entry.

Positive: PDF conversion to Word, Excel, and images was reliable, with mostly retained formatting; batch conversions saved a considerable amount of time.

Negative: The most complex tables did need minor readjustments after conversion, but a small preview function would have helped double-check the accuracy before export.

Summary: I went over a design draft with colleagues, making comments with the annotation tools. The shared PDF retained highlights and notes flawlessly. A shortcut toolbar would make giving repeated feedback faster, but overall, this made team review much easier.

Positive: Annotations, high battling, and comments worked easily across devices; shared documents retained annotations, making the team collaboration process smooth.

Negative: A quick-access toolbar for frequently used annotation tools would be useful while having an extensive feedback session.

Summary: I password-protected sensitive HR documents before sending them via email. The encryption was simple and secure; printing and editing permissions were easy to set. Having predefined templates for regular actions would be very nice, but in general, the whole process was secure and easy.

Positive: Password-protect PDF added a layer of security quickly, while encryption was reliable and customizable; permissions, like view vs. print, worked well.

Negative: Some might prefer predefined security templates for standard workflows, so they are not guessing each time.

Summary: I rearranged a 60-page training manual, rotating pages and changing order for clarity. Everything exported correctly and my team appreciated the logical order. Slight lag in previewing was the only drawback, but in general this made document prep much faster.

Positive: Rotation and reordering of pages were smooth, clearly visually previewed, and it was easy to drag and drop pages. The tool exported with the correct page orientation.

Negative: Only occasionally did working with very large PDFs cause minor lag in the preview window. Adding a simple progress indicator would help reassure users during bigger files.

Summary: I had to send several decks of slides to a client for review and used Compress PDF to do this rather quickly. Slides were still easy to read, and internal links still worked. Using a preset for email quality would streamline things, but the manual slider gave control to maintain readability.

Positive: Compress PDF brought a 30MB slide deck under email limits while keeping visuals readable and preserving the hyperlinks. Batch compressing for several decks saved me from running repeated conversions.

Negative: It would be handy to have named presets like "email", "web", and "print" that set compression vs. quality automatically; being able to select levels manually is fine, but presets would save time.

Summary: I filled out and saved several PDF forms for an application process over the course of days. The saved drafts restored my entries correctly, and I could complete submissions without having to re-enter data for each form. An autofill for repeated personal fields would have been a practical add-on, but the draft save functionality was essential and reliable for my workflow.

Positive: Filling forms worked seamlessly: typed fields, checkboxes, and signature placeholders all behaved reliably. I could save a filled draft and return later without losing entries, which helped with multi-step data collection.

Negative: A field auto-fill memory for common contact info that one enters into forms would save repeated typing across similar forms; small timesaver for the heavy form user.

Summary: I finalized a freelance contract using the sign pdf flow. The signature placement was easy, and the exported signed PDF looked professional. An integrated minimal audit note would be welcome for formal contracts, but the speed and clarity of signature placement made the entire signing step painless and fast.

Positive: Signing PDFs was quick with an intuitive signature tool and the ability to place initials or full signatures anywhere on the document. Signed copies were stamped with date and could be downloaded in multiple versions.

Negative: It would also be very useful if the signed file contained a small audit trail of the signing timestamp and IP metadata by default for formal agreements. That would add comfort for higher-stakes documents.

Summary: I annotated a draft contract for the legal team, and the highlights plus comments made the suggested edits easy to review. Exporting the annotated copy preserved highlights for reviewers who preferred a single file. A set of keyboard shortcuts would make repeat annotation faster, but current tools are excellent for collaborative editing.

Positive: The annotate PDF feature features precise highlighting, sticky notes, and drawing tools, making the feedback clear and easy to follow. Annotations remained visible in exported copies and could be toggled for printing.

Negative: I'd appreciate having a quick keyboard shortcut map for heavy annotators to speed up common actions like highlight, strike-through, and creation of comments. It is a small request for power-user improvements.
