✓ Aaa argh! Avoid this like the plague!What a horribly confusing interface! I wish they had a free trial version for this as I would have avoided paying a hefty $9.99 for an app that cannot convert documents to PDF unless you have a spare hour to wander confusingly through its maze of an interface while banging your head against a brick wall. Would like my money and my lost time refunded!.Version: 1.5
✓ Can't rotateI printed to pdf selected 24 x 36 sheets from a set of pdf drawings but they showed in portrait instead of landscape mode, and I can't rotate them. Also, If I zoom into a portion of the drawing I cannot print to PDF that view only; it has to the whole page..Version: 1.4
✓ Terrible appIt has yet to create a pdf correctly and you could take a nap waiting for it to try.Version: 2.9
✓ Current version buggyCrashes frequently, dropbox export returns persistent server error although all login details are correct. Often has to be hard reset to get out of a freeze. Won't export multiple files..Version: 1.1.3
✓ WARNING WARNING. WARNINGThis app crashes a lot. Nothing but trouble. A waste of money....Version: 2.9.2
✓ Not badThis app is not bad but it doesn't deliver all that I expected. For example, it says it is RTF document compatible but I have yet to find a iPad app that will open an RTF document without messing up the formatting and this app is no different. Most documents seem to convert ok though. I do wonder why I need to pay extra for the iPhone version. That really bothers me too..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Not very impressiveGood idea, but only a v1.0 implementation. Tried to convert a simple .doc and it failed to produce anything like a true pdf conversion, the layout was all over the place. Then tried to save the second tab in a .xls spreadsheet and that did not work either only saved the first tab and then kept jumping to full screen instead of selecting the second tab. Please fix these problems as it's not good enough to use yet.Version: 0
✓ Needs ability to save to webdav, dropbox etc...Great app for converting a file to a PDF. Problem is, once you have the PDF, it's difficult to save it to use in other applications. Almost all of the PDF programs have the ability to write webdav, dropbox and other cloud storage services but this app does not. The only way I've been able to figure out how to make this work is to use it to email the file to myself and then use "Open in…" to view the attachment and open it in the app that I need to use to annotate it. This is a great app, but the ability to not easily save the file to the cloud is a major deficit. If that is fixed, I'd rate this considerably higher..Version: 1.4
✓ Can't save email to pdfHeads up, i bought this app to do the above and it no longer can. Nor can it convert to pdf directly from safari. I was misled since it used to do these things : ( Buyers beware if these are your reasons for purchasing it is a waste of money..Version: 1.7
✓ O.K., but needs some work on PowerPoint PDF GenerationI get a lot of PowerPoint presentations emailed to me and I wanted to put them into PDFs so I could annotate them in Goodreader. I had been waiting for an app like Save2PDF and was elated when it came out. The price was steep, but so worth it to me, I thought. I'm more than a little disappointed. When I generate a PDF from a Powerpoint, it generates two pages on a single page, and this results in it being smallish on my Goodreader screen (and not as easy to read). More importantly, it isn't exactly two pages, it is more like 1-7/8 PowerPoint pages on a single PDF page. That means the next page starts with 1/8 of a PPT page, followed by a full PPT page, and then another partial page. It gets pretty ugly. I am delighted this app is out, but the PDF it generates, at least from PowerPoint, isn't quite ready for prime time. Since I paid so much money for it, I hope they improve it so it is more usable for me. I can't speak to other formats (e.g., Word or Excel), but given the reviews, I am guessing those work better..Version: 1.1.3
✓ Great App but Misses Key NeedGreat app, but I bought it specifically to convert PowerPoint slides to PDFs... and there is no page size option that fits a single PowerPoint slide. The only opens are "US Letter", "US Legal", and "A4". PPT slides are 8"x10", which fits none of those easily. A side note... I DID e-mail customer support, and I was *very* impressed at their prompt response (15 minute reply time, on Thanksgiving!). But their "fix" was to have me figure out what zoom factor best fit a slide on a page layout, and go from there. None do exactly, and the zoom factor resets with each print. Provide a way to add to the available paper sizes (especially since the key point of this app is creating PDFs... printing is just a side function), and this review will go to 5 stars..Version: 1.2.3
✓ What happened!The first version was awesome, but with the latest update cannot print to PDF from Safari or Mail like I could in the previous version - all because Apple would not allow it. So now it is useless for me, a waste of money..Version: 1.2
✓ Not thrilledI bought this because Print to PDF was discontinued. I found this app clunky and unintuitive. Most importantly, though it allowed me to save pages from a PDF and combine them, it messed up the fonts and formatting. Doesn't effectively do what they claim...useless for my purposes...*delete app*...thanks for wasting my money..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Doesn't perform properly.I mostly wanted to print to PDF from a web page. The first time I tried it printed to PDF without getting the images. The second time onwards, when I tried to preview, the app crashes.. Would not suggest wasting ur money....Version: 1.3.3
✓ TerribleDoesn't format PDFs correctly. Cuts off parts of sentences between pages. Help desk unhelpful in finding a solution. Total waste of money..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Useless for me, no pdf flattenUseless for interactive pdf, can’t flatten files. Useless for my need, for regular pdf there is already a tool on the iPad.Version: 2.9.2
✓ Don't trust the nameThis is not what it is named. If this thing can save web pages to pdf, then it is not obvious. Still have not figured it out. At this point, my opinion, don't buy, does not do what i was expecting, save to pdf, specially web pages. Sorry, no good, not opvious.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Web to PDF failsPurchased almost purely to save websites to pdf. Hundreds of attempts and not one which was formatted correctly in the saved pdf. Nothing but a waste of money for me..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Buyer bewareIt no longer works. This app should be updated or removed from the app store. DO NO BUY..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Printing email as PDF is copy/pasteThe app description hints that Save2PDF will show up as a printer. I hoped I could make a PDF of an email. The app requires selecting the email content and copying it, which is then put into a PDF for saving or printing when you open the app. That's clunky and about 75% of the solution. The header info (to/from, date) is not captured. It works, but is not as good as the "Print as PDF" printer option on my laptop that lets me save an email as a PDF file..Version: 2.6.1
✓ HelpHelp how do I get a refund so user unfriendly. Not sure what this app is all about. Just want to create PDF, can do this all in Pages anyway so why bother.. Does anyone know how to get a refund from Aplple..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Not happy JanSo far I have not been able to send the converted PDF file by email. The "instructions " - read LACK OF, do not help..Version: 1.1.3
✓ YepDoesn't print incoming e-mails, but does print web pages, PDFs, and pics to Epson wireless printer. Print N Share pro did the trick 4 me, you set up ur incoming and outgoing mail servers, the emails are imported into the app then you can print them. I think this app is made by the same mob as the interface is the same..Version: 1.3.2
✓ There are better for lessApart from the ability to print web pages as PDFs, this app offers nothing you can't get from better apps for less. Even the printing from websites takes some time to figure out--you have to adds "z" before the"http" in the URL. I bought this because it looked like it would make PDFs from other docs exactly as they look in the original app--say a Pages doc. But it does not. As with all other pdf readers I've bought, crucial formatting changes--for example line spacing, hyperlinks, etc.--are all messed up in the final doc. Tech support just sort of shrugged their shoulders (virtually) when I asked about this. Like I said, there are better PDF apps out there. For less..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Great if you are worried about securityWorried about other people using your iDevice and apps illicitly? Relax, you are safe with this app. It is designed to be difficult and confusing to use. It has annoying bugs. The help desk isolates you from someone that could actually help. Nobody would want to use this app illicitly. Or licitly..Version: 1.8.1
✓ DisappointingI'm very disappointed...I need this app to do one thing: convert PowerPoint files to PDF. I have to admit, the marketing says that it does the conversion...what it doesn't say is that it doesn't do it very well. Save2PDF can't detect the page breaks in the PowerPoint file, so the result is mis-matched page breaks, with many of the slides having a page break in the middle...essentially unusable. Even more disappointing is that customer services initial response was that I must not be using it correctly. When I pushed back, their response was 'let us know if we can provide further assistance'. So, no help, and no plan on addressing the weakness in the app. Of course, they have my money (based on the glowing press and reviews), so they don't apparently care. I'm guessing that the press and others didn't test this particular feature..Version: 1.1.3
✓ Needs some more work!!!I purchased this app today and after 4 hours trying to merge 12 PDFs of a catalog that I downloaded, I still do not have a usable PDF!!! The app would not merge the PDFs and I kept getting an error message. Finally, I downloaded the files to my iPad a second time and saved them to Goodreader to archive them and them open them again in "Save2PDF", only to only get half of the files saved to make one merged PDF, as I had to batch them into six (6) files each. The second six files never have been able to be merged! Like I said, that is after 4 hours!! The app (Save2PDF) has shut-down completely on me at least six times and all merging was lost so I had to start all over again! Needless to say, I think your app needs a lot more work on it to work out BUGS! I would like a refund of the money I spent on this app because it was not ready for marketing if it doesn't work, which it does NOT! With some bug fixing it would be a great app, but it isn't there yet!.....Unhappy with crap-apps..Version: 1.2.4
✓ This new version does not print from Safari.This app used to be one I could do without, especially because in my case I print web pages often. I used to be able to print right from the iPad Safari browser. After this new update, this no longer works. You have to use the app's own browser. And I have a problem with that. I am not going to use their browser as my main browser, because I don't have bookmarks on there. What makes it cumbersome is that you have to copy the URL from the Safari browser and paste it onto their own browser URL. Cumbersome. A couple times I started filling out a form in the Safari browser, then I wanted to print to PDF before submitting, but unable to do so. When I went to copy the URL from Safari to this PDF browser, of course I got an invalid response. I have not used this app ever since the update. Too bad, because I used to love it. Yes, at times my PowerPoint slides would show up off center, or misaligned or missing the header and footer. But I lived with that. Printing from Safari was the most important feature for me. Once that ability was gone, I was unable to use this app. Now I am looking for a replacement..Version: 1.4
✓ Update please!This app has been very handy for printing on my wireless network. However it has stopped working since I installed iOS5. Can you please update this app?.Version: 1.1.3
✓ Web page links not clickable in pdfWhen this app is used to create a pdf of a web page, the links in the pdf are not clickable. This renders this expensive app almost useless for my purposes, and I wish that this had been made clear before I bought it. However, it has quite a few features that may serve others well..Version: 1.1.3
✓ Has weird issuesWhile reading Multipage pdf files i found it constantly reset itself to page 1 if you happened to rotate your ipad to a different view angle. VERY frustrating when you have to scroll to somewhere around page 900 every 5-10 minutes. You have to keep your ipad perfectly still for fear of losing your page....Version: 1.1.3
✓ Don't buy itIt doesn't work very well. Makes the PDF all wonky and cuts off the page in weird spots making it almost impossible to read. An absolute waste of money! I want a refund!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ No longer works in IOS5Print was the reason I purchased this and not their competitor. Stopped working with the upgrade. It no longer prints to a PDF file and I don't care for the zhttp:// workaround. I have received a reply from their support. They think that it works fine in its diminished capacity. Bottom line, the former print functionality will not be present in this app again in the foreseeable future ... They blame Apple. They claim they can't fix it. No price reduction or money back was offered. Regardless, this app no longer has the utility that I paid too much for. I thought it was overpriced when it worked. For example, PDF print is free on Linux ... Google cups-PDF and Avahi to set up a server. I think that at the least a 50% refund is in order. I would prefer %100 as the app is useless to me. The last email from support was rude. The email also said I could buy another app from them to get some of the functionality back. Are they kidding? Never again..Version: 1.2.4
✓ BSThe office to pdf converter is crap! I just wasted $7!.Version: 1.1.3
✓ UselessWaste of money would not convert anything I tried..Version: 2.9.1
✓ Print web pagesNew update. I purchased this long time ago, now they deleted this app from iPhone App Store and charge again, calling this “for iPhone” Where is Restore my previous purchase? Like the latest versions, works as advertised. Used to print right from Safari, now only when you load the web page to Save2pdf internal browser. Apparently this is Apple issue, so all other PDF printers have this same issue. Internal browser works most of the time except if the page loaded in Safari has data attached to it (such as when you make an online payment and want to save the page to PDF), loading in the internal browser does not generate the same page. I will give it 5 stars once this function is back. Organizing PDF files is really good, I also use it to download PDF files, change default name and then open in iBook..Version: 3.1
✓ Actual pdf printer - update: no longer worksUPDATE: app no longer allows direct printing to pdf from safari using the AirPrint menu! the workarounds (adding a z before the http address) arent sufficient since encrypted pages such as receipts cannot be transferred in this way. huge disappointment since this is the main reason I bought this app. email support stated that this is actually an issue from the ios5 update, which no longer allows the AirPrint pdf printer. I bought this app primarily for one purpose - printing web pages/receipts from safari to pdf files. it does this perfectly. the other pdf converter apps I looked at didn't seem to have this function (relying instead on "open in" transfers or using the app's built in browser). this app actually integrates a real pdf printer into any other app that supports AirPrint, incl safari. also provides very useful features that allow you to delete pages and merge PDFs. ive been using this app a lot so it is well worth the price. issues I hope to see improved in future versions: improved stability (crashes every now and then), dropbox integration..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Keep lookingThis application was wonderful on iOS4, but its most desirable functionality; namely printing from other apps to a PDF document, is no longer functioning on iOS5 The company feels this cannot be fixed by an update given the restrictions on iOS5. I will be looking for an alternative..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Keeps crashingWould be a great app but keeps crashing, I lost a PDF spent ages,putting together and sorting pages into right order, when sending to iBooks it crashed and now unable to find the PDF in either this app or iBooks?.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Loses page margins and breaks in Word docsAfter so many promising reviews, also from places like MacWorld, I was excited. But the app ignores the size of my page margins and the location of page breaks in Word files, whether .doc or .docx. I got this to convert Word files I receive so I can annotate them in a PDF app. But I can't annotate such badly formed files for my students. A tech support query merely got me the rapid, but glib and unhelpful reply that I should change the scaling. But all that does is give me the same problem in a larger or smaller size. Very disappointed, as this has turned out to be a complete waste of $10, at least so far. I'll report back if they figure out how to get it going. So far, though, I can't find any settings in the app or their documentation that could help..Version: 1.1.3
✓ Worst APP EVERDon’t waste your money!.Version: 2.8
✓ DisappointedI have a long web page I want to save, but don’t want to print 50+ pages. Went looking to see if I could get a .pdf printer to save it to a file. This one looked to be the best. It installed perfectly and immediately showed up as an option when I clicked Share on the webpage. But when I saved it and looked at it, it only saved the first 9 pages. And what was saved was NOT what was on the screen! I suspect it’s something the web page developer has done, but regardless, this app should be printing what I see, not what the web page thinks they should print. I will be asking for a refund..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Exactly What I NeededDoes most of what it claims to do. Access documents through "Open In" interface. Will print to any network printer whether or not AirPrint. Links to DropBox and GoogleDocs very easily. There is an issue opening Documents with page headers, as others have noted. The Headers are destroyed. Also, "Stationary" (background graphic) from Pages is lost; but this can be overcome by having Pages do the "Open In" as a PDF file, which sort of defeats the purpose. It may be less useful with DocsToGo which can pass only in native format (no PDF). Works well for editing PDS files (combining or taking pages from several to form a single one). Easy hand-off to Adobe's PDF Reader, which is still the top app for reading / annotating / signing PDF documents. Some difficulty (non-intuitive) linking to WebDav, but easily overcome using their Help / Email request option. My Experience is that they really DO respond as quickly as they claim, and the hand-holding is excellent. For customer support they warrent a 5-Star rating. The pricing seems a bit strange. This version works on iPad, but cannot be also sued on iPhone. There is a version for the iPhone that indicates that it will work with BOTH iPhone and iPad, and it's $1 less. This seems to be true of all EuroSmartz Apps..Version: 1.4
✓ Need updatingI have been using this app very usefully. However, currently i can't use this app because it does't work with ios5. Need urgent updating..Version: 1.1.3
