Comments and Reviews
One great feature I immediately appreciated about it is that it doesn't reset its zoom setting when you click on a bookmark. This was an issue I encountered with Acrobat, PDF-Xchange, and Foxit Reader, where setting the zoom level to page width would reset to full page view when clicking on another bookmark.
Negatives: So far, I have only found two drawbacks:
Overall, it is an excellent free PDF software and a top alternative to popular PDF readers like Acrobat, Foxit Reader, and PDF-Xchange.
The AI or the way it interacts with the document is horrible. It makes things up constantly. I will read a page and then ask it to summarize it, and it will summarize something completely different.
It's the closest thing I've found to Acrobat Pro. However, it lacks OCR functionality for PDF documents. It's also not open source and doesn't have a Linux version. But it's feature-rich and allows you to get by with PDF editing.
make sure to block the app in the firewall
I love this app, saving me so much time and money. Its wonderful. One thing that i whish it had is linux support. That, adding a little competition to Foxit and Acrobat is great.
Great editing abilities on the mac!
Finally not giving any more money to Adobe between this and Apple's built-in PDF scanner.
