    Molly's Help After 4 Tries on Tuesday

    Date: Mar 16 2023

    Summary: 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.

    Positive: 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.

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

    Great application and support

    Date: Mar 15 2023

    Summary: Excellent!

    Positive: 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.

    Negative: No cons so far.

    Great product with lots of features

    Date: Feb 13 2023

    Summary: Good! I like that it has the e-sign features so I can sent contracts this way. I feel like it’s necessary these days to make signing forms easy for people otherwise there’s a chance they just won’t do it or it would take many followups to get things signed and returned. This makes it streamlined!

    Positive: The design, the ease of use once I figured it out, and the support was pretty good too - see comment below.

    Negative: I was told to upload a pic of my issue I was having. I asked her to stand by. She said take your time. I think it took me around 4-5 minutes to get my image over. In the meantime it must have been too long because it looked like a default message kicked out that said you’ve been silent too long, etc. and I was transferred over to a new tech. I feel like this wait period could be longer or controlled on the tech side or else please don’t tell me to take your time when that’s not the case. Regardless the issue was solved by the new tech no problem and I love your product.

    Restored SODA 11

    Date: Feb 07 2023

    Summary: Kudos to MOLLY for guiding me back to restoration.
    I do have a complaint---sometimes a PDF file that I have modified and saved "hangs" and Windows will not allow me to move it to a different folder because it is "open and in use" (even with everything closed). The only way to "free it up" is to restart Windows. ----Just a minor inconvenience.

    Positive: I have been using SODA 11 since April 2019. I like what it provides for manipulation of my PDF files.

    Negative: I became VERY unhappy and frustrated when "my administrator" "unassigned" my access" to my program and was literally FORCING me to purchase an upgrade, abandoning my perpetual license that I purchased in 2019!!!!

    SODA 14 works great for me

    Date: Jan 29 2023

    Summary: I don't edit every PDF that I have on my computer ... but every once in a while I find a need to change something on a PDF and SODA 14 gives me everything I've ever needed.

    Positive: I like what I can do with SODA 14 and I don't believe that I could use any other features other than those provided with this version.

    Negative: I needed to learn what I needed to do to use all the features ... but once I did this "CON" turned out to be nothing at all.

    Renewal Status

    Date: Jan 27 2023

    Summary: Always excellent products and support at a reasonable price. I would recommend Soda PDF Pro to anyone creating or manipulating PDF documents.

    Negative: Great products and services, nothing to complain about.
