I signed up for the PDF Expert 7 Pro 7-day trial to see what you will be missing out if you don’t subscribe (upgrading from PDF Expert 6 Pro). PDF Expert 7 is a subscription; U$50/ year or about U$12/month.
Here’s what you’re getting if you update from PDF Expert 6 Pro:
Convert any file (Word, Spreadsheets, Slides, Webpages And Images) to PDF
All note-taking applications already do this without a fuss. It is hardly impressive. To avoid paying a subscription for this, convert your documents in an app that offers this feature for free. Then bring your notes into PDF Expert 7, if you must, already converted.
File compression
You can zip your files in the app. In iPadOS 13, the Files app does that for free!
Add your favourite tools to the toolbar
Where you can easily access them. It saves you that extra step of going to Annotations when you want to highlight. Or to Edit when you want to redact some information. However, any developer asking you to pay for such a basic function definitely doesn’t care about you.
A favourite tool feature is a must-have for every app. We forgive those developers that haven’t figured out how to add it for us yet. We hate those that make us pay subscriptions for such a basic feature.
Don’t pay for the PDF Expert 7 Pro features if you already have PDF Expert 6. It’s not worth it. Not all apps can pull off a subscription setup!
