    "It does not work"

    Posted 2023-12-11

    Pros: Interface very user friendly, easy installation and use. Very fast in getting the results after upload.

    Cons: I tried it on several documents and the results were not satisfactory. I cancelled my account.

    Overall: My experience was not satisfactory as I indicated above. The interface is easy to use, but the results are not good. I tried several documents and there were a lot of errors. So I decided not to use it anymore and cancel my subscription. They need to use more and better AI to improve their product.

    "Ease of use"

    Posted 2023-04-13

    Pros: I much prefer Soda for its ease of use and great features. Customer support has been pretty good so far.

    Cons: Sadly there is one missing feature that is crucial to me that I can only get on ABBYY PDF software or I would only use Soda since I find ABBYY not easy to use. But I require an OCR reader that will read Hebrew and allow me to copy Hebrew into other documents without turning it to something strange. If you ever got this fixed, I would definitely be a totally loyal fan.

    Overall: Good. Sadly there is one missing feature that is crucial to me that I can only get on ABBYY PDF software or I would only use Soda since I find ABBYY not easy to use. But I require an OCR reader that will read Hebrew and allow me to copy Hebrew into other documents without turning it to something strange.

    "Poor customer support (no support) horrible software"

    Posted 2023-04-07

    Pros: I have nothing to say but it has been a horrible experience dealing with this company. I regret ever using, if any, this software.

    Cons: Repeated issues with the software, poor customer support (none almost). Constantly re-installing the software, not working.

    Overall: Horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I was charged more than advertised price, paid for a whole year and was not able to use it. Very unhappy.

    "Response to billing question"

    Posted 2023-04-03

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

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

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

    "SODA PDF review"

    Posted 2023-03-25

    Pros: I had an unfortunate time with your Soda standard pro 365 offer.

    Cons: I thought i was being offered the use of, for £ 29.95 a year, the standard Soda. When i saw my bill it was £100 =
    all the extras mentioned which I did not ask for were added.
    The good news that I got a complete refund but still think it is pressure and selling and the way to cancel these options are not clearly stated.

    Overall: Poor advertising techniques a terribly distressing experience would not recommend and am still contemplating taking the matter further. I think the sales technique is very intrusive on our machines and interrupting my with adverts is not very helpful.

    "Good and practical software"

    Posted 2023-03-23

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

    Cons: 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.

    Overall: 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.

    Posted 2023-03-23

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

    "Great Software Poor Customer Service"

    Posted 2023-03-23

    Pros: Everything about this software package is very good; however, purchase the software and you will have to purchase add ons for things like adjusting page size.

    Cons: Very poor customer service. If I was not thrilled with the software, I would not purchase it due to poor customer service.

    Overall: Good software. It does what I want it to do. Do not use auto renew. You need to decide for yourself if you want to continue with a new software subscription.

    "Molly's Help After 4 Tries on Tuesday"

    Posted 2023-03-16

    Pros: Molly was able to get me set back up so I could use my owned software within 30 minutes. Appreciate Molly's quick resolution of my issue.

    Cons: Previous Tuesday when I was knocked off chat 4 times.

    Overall: Was very frustrated Tuesday, but Molly redeemed my opinion and relieved my frustrations. I was working so had to try to work while trying to get this fixed. Was kicked off chat four times and then when I tried to get on chat after I was done working on Tuesday, chat was down. So glad I got Molly today because she was able to get the software working as it has since I bought it in 2018.

    "Great application and support"

    Posted 2023-03-15

    Pros: It is so nice not being stuck with Adobe's PDF very expensive editor. I think SodaPDF is more capable than Adobe's PDF Editor too. I really like the arrow option and I do not remember Adobe having an arrow option like SodaPDF.

    I have had to contact customer support a couple of times and they have been very responsive, polite and professional.

    Cons: No cons so far.

    Overall: Excellent!

    Cons: There weren't any Cons for me. I was very pleased with my experience.

    Overall: I didn't have to speak to a lot of people. Customer service was able to transfer me to billing department to resolve the issue quickly. The refund came in a few days.

    "First impressions"

    Posted 2023-03-07

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

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

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

    + Fully compatible to Acrobat Pro (both ways)

    "PDF Editor"

    Posted 2023-02-20

    Pros: 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.

    Cons: 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.

    Overall: 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.

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

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