PDF Converter by Readdle for Negative User Reviews
✓ Can’t convert Word without messing upI don’t know how other people can give this a high rating. I was looking for an app that would convert word documents to PDF. Turns out this one won’t do it properly if there are graphics, or track changes, or bullets — BULLETS, for crying out loud. Not to mention random special characters. Formatting also gets weird — size 20 (maybe) font when the original document was size 11; really huge margins. I e-mailed support, since I was convinced that I was doing something incorrectly, their help said that “Word formatting is really different from PDF one, this is why when you convert word to PDF usually you get more pages and the result might be different. There is no setting to change this as this is how two formats interact.” Really? Because I have no problem with other applications for this. And not being able to convert a WORD document to PDF is just silly. (To be fair, they did offer to look at my doc, although this has happened with five or six documents and I can’t share them because of confidentiality reasons).Version: 2.3.9
✓ A very simple converterPDF Converter is a simple app allowing the user to convert files and photos into PDF, however, unlike the rest of Readdle apps, it has nothing special and it actually does what Readdle Printer Pro already offers as a virtual printer. It doesn't allow you to convert multiple photos into a single PDF, it's impossible to change the layout of the PDF or the page orientation and it's not even capable of choosing the pages of a Word document or an Excel sheet before conversion. If you need an app to just change the format, PDF Converter is an expensive one which you may find practical; as it is easy to use and works well. Otherwise, there are better and more powerful apps in the App Store you'll be happy to try instead..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Does not convert webpage to pdfNot useful for converting webpages to pdf. Tried so many times,, just getting blank page. Built in pdf converter in safari in ios works far better than this..Version: 2.3.10
✓ Not worth it to meThe app does convert, but if you wish to save to the iCloud one is not provided the option to browse the folders in the cloud. So simple file saving becomes a multi-step process to just save a file. The conversion isn’t that great. I get a better image just doing a print to pdf on my Mac. But this runs on an iPad or iPhone one objects. Well for the hassle and quality I might as well go to my Mac and do it right. It was a waste of money for me, not nearly as functional as something like their Documents product..Version: 2.3.12
✓ Does not maintain Word formattingNot being able to keep Word formatting is kind of critical when trying to PDF a resume..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Needs updating for new iPad screen sizes!Needs updating for new iPad screen sizes!.Version: 2.3.9
✓ Good but needs much improvementThis app has proven to be very useful to me for recording and downloading all kinds of information even recipes, math and science articles, and pictures. However, the actual content and format of the result is not always the same as the original I see on the screen. Sometimes the page is too large to convert and all I get is simply an error message. Also, sometimes pages are re-oriented and there seems to be no way to correct the orientation..Version: 2.3.10
✓ Not recommendedIn my experience the app did not perform as claimed. There were problems with formatting that rendered it unusable. The contain with support was very disappointing. Slow response and unhelpful treatment..Version: 1.3
✓ Big step down from their other appsPDF converter seems to arbitrarily be segmented outside of their other apps ecosystem making it unnecessarily difficult to process files that are stored locally in their own documents app or scanner pro. Combined with the fact there seems to be no way to batch process extending the process dozens of times... and good luck getting your files out of PDF converter once done, no ability to move it back over to local documents easily and you’re out of luck if you’re a google drive user rather than iCloud or Dropbox because hey, who needs consistency through an ecosystem amirite? Save your cash, time and patience and go do the same thing for free on a computer..Version: 2.3.9
✓ Fails most of the timesNot able to convert all webpages which are easily done by chrome..Version: 2.3.8
✓ Bug12.2 bug still there for me.Version: 2.3.12
✓ It's okayHmmm... you can't edit things in this app. That I did not know. It’s okay so far.Version: 2.3.7
✓ LIES, GREED, MISLEADING & DECEPTIONI use to support this company and was one of the early pioneers; a loyal customers that purchased their products 15 years ago and would recommend them to people. But since I have updated my app, they have kicked me out and won’t recognise any of my purchases unless I pay more money. This is how you treat your loyal customers. I am so disgusted at the greed mentality. I am disappointed at the lies, greed, misleading and deceptive conduct..Version: 2.3.12
✓ Web to PDF absolute GARBAGE!!This is the only reason why I purchased this app, I am so disappointed. It converts a webpage to a PDF and it’s absolute garbage. Please put some work into this to make it acceptable, I would be happy to remove my review.Version: 2.3.12
✓ Charged TwiceLove the apps, but! Had purchased Pdf Expert 5 days earlier which is a great app. Decided to purchase pdf converter in app (Documents) and was rerouted to app store where converter is listed at $7.99. Make purchase. Simple. But! Was charged for converter, (fine) and was charged for PDF Expert again! WHAT! Will change review when this is sorted. Logged with Pay Pal. Can't get onto Apple App Store resolution process as there are issues. Will try again later. If Readdle read this review, maybe they can get onto it..Version: 2.3.10
✓ Partial workingConvert only partial webpages or from apps. Paste link directly still not working, keep asking refresh. If it works, only some small text, not full webpages or just one photo from webpages. Please fix.Version: 2.3.10
✓ Needs improvement; excellent developerYou cannot convert Wikipedia like mobile websites where sections of a page are minimised because the topics are not expanded. Other free apps do. An excellent concept but is not consistent. Most pages you can only convert when you open the page in the app. Sadly doesn't have iCloud auto save..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Complete GarbageDon't waste your money folks on this under performer. Pity really given some of Readdle's other apps such as Documents is very good and well worth the money. PDF Converter however is pitiful..Version: 2.3.7
✓ Apparently it convertsI had .cbz and .cbr file and it couldn’t convert it to PDF. Only most basic files can be converted. It appears they only convert the most basic files into PDF. Big money we have to pay to get this application (extension). Hungry and greedy for money..Version: 2.3.7
✓ UselessUseless and waste of money. Doesn’t convert any webpages into PDF. Won’t recommend it.Version: 2.3.7
✓ Too expensive too uselessBought this a few minutes ago and immediately regretted. The pdf reader forced me to buy the in app purchase to open all functions, yet it did not include a PDF converter as shown in the app. I spent $9 more for this app, and it cannot convert a webpage. I only get a blank pdf. It even does not allow me to save to a location..Version: 2.3.9
✓ Ok, but should do more...I have a Word document and need to convert to PDF. You cannot perform this function using this App within Word. Saved the file to Dropbox, opened the document and utilized this App to generate the PDF. The PDF was blank. Only remedy was to screen capture my Word document, go to Photo's, trim and export to PDF with the App. What is wrong with Apple, Microsoft, Google, Adobe?? This should not be hard and a multi-stepped approach. Frustrating in this day and age. Why the hell do I need to buy an app that should be intrinsic with a normal business workflow?.Version: 2.3.5
✓ Stopped workingI purchased this app to convert emails to PDF. Worked fine at first, if a little cumbersome, but now I get an error when I try to create a PDF. I submitted a support request and got a template response saying that the issue will be addressed in the next update, but they don’t know when that will be. I understand that apps can have bugs, but the entire purpose of this app is to make a PDF and now it can’t. I paid for the app because I wanted reliability. On the upside, while researching this issue, I found that iOS 10 and later has the built in ability to convert emails to PDF for free..Version: 2.3.11
✓ Never saves the page I want to saveThis app, so far as I can see, will only print to PDF the initial webpage opened at the website visited...not able to print the page I'm viewing. For example when I try to print a page with payment info or a utility statement this app only saves/prints the login page. Which makes this app totally worthless to me. I have not seen any way to change that as yet, but have put little effort into seeking a resolution either, since generally I've been frustrated by its failure and been hoping to get this done quickly at the time, and the little checking I've done was fruitless. Same issue after more time. Useless for the purpose of saving to PDF the internet page you are viewing...always saves the main page/login page..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Please remove the Cookie banner!!!(Ok so I can instead copy and paste the website address into the PDF Converter App clipboard which works.) I no longer get a clean copy. My PDF pages are now overlaid with a cookie banner or similar, even/especially where this doesn’t appear on the original web page. I am not sure if this resulted from installing the latest iOS update. It isn’t a problem with printed pages but I don’t want to have to scan these to save to file!.Version: 2.3.12
✓ Incapable of converting anything to pdfI have tried it repeatedly and when I try opening the doc there is nothing against its title absolute rubbish.Version: 2.3.12
✓ Safari’s own Create PDF works betterToo often this app will only export the first screen or page from a browser before stopping because it got interrupted by some cookie privacy policy message. Or something. Or it’s too diligent or cautious trying to protect content copyright and just doesn’t work. Or something - whatever - don’t care. Not worth the hassle or money. Safari’s own Create PDF export facility works far better and is free!.Version: 2.3.9
✓ Can’t do multi-page PDFs from photos.Given I bought the most expensive app and it can’t do this basic function, I am pretty unhappy. Where’s the refund button?.Version: 2.3.8
✓ DisappointedShapes in ppt is mis-locationed in pdf.Version: 2.3.12
✓ Does not work in landscapeLike many spreadsheets mine are in landscape. This app converts to portrait and loses data. Please consider Used with docs to go and excel for ipad.Version: 2.3.12
✓ Cant handle large pagesUpdate .... It is a hit or miss if you can convert a web page or not. I get about 50 pf my tries. The app has trouble with pages that have images or videos. Got blank pages on a bell & Howell product review. Could not produce a pdf from a consumer reports car report web page. All i kept getting was the CR home page asking me to signup or subscribe. Tried chrome and safari. On both occasions the app hung midway through the conversion. On Safari pdf converter did produce the pdf..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Useless when I needed it!Tried to make a PDF of my MyTax return before lodging it, didn’t work at all just generated a wrecked version of the MyGov signin screen. Discovered that Save PDF to iBooks worked perfectly, so this is one Readdle App that I can do without..Version: 2.3.9
✓ Wong workJust won’t convert my video don’t know if I’m doing something wrong but I just can’t seem to download it and I’ve tried all the different ways.Version: 2.3.12
✓ I love this app, BUT all the files can be deleted by mistakeI have used this app for many years and love it, BUT since I clicked the clear button by mistake (about 1 year ago), I became very worried that it may happen again. The two main problems are: 1. the clear button at the opening page, is at the exact position as the one in the document page, which has very different functions. 2. Once the clear button is clicked, everything is gone. NO CONFIRMATION ASKED! A simple mistake and all files are lost..Version: 2.3.12
✓ Can not convert webpages properly to PDFI want to save my invoices from my online purchases, which only appear as a webpage. I purchased this App so that I can save these as PDFs. The App only gives me blank PDF documents, with a grey background. I have other Readdle Apps, that are wonderful. This one needs a little more work, with regards to saving webpages..Version: 2.3.12
✓ Stay awayThis doesn't work on the latest iOS. Why is it still in the app store? I will ask for my money back..Version: 2.3.12
✓ Only worked onceNot sure what happened but I was only able to use this converter to convert excel sheet to pdf only once. Which is the only reason I purchased it..Version: 2.3.7
✓ New userWon’t convert from joist app! Gives me the option and appears at first to convert but then when I view the file it just says loading pdf! Am i doing something wrong?.Version: 2.3.10
✓ You are not taking care of this app as much as his brothersHi, This is a nice app and it is so useful, I recently bought it for £6.99 and was expecting something much better because I am familiar with all other Readdle apps, its all great apart from this one. You need to deal with the following: 1- I can not open this app with another app side by side in my iPad Pro. 2- You should add support to links in the generated PDF. When I press on a link in the generated PDF it should still work and takes me to that link. 3- the resolution is not comparable with the new iPad Pro. 4- please add possibility of making folders and organise files in the app. 5- icon of the app seems too old. 6- also this app should get support of drag and drop files between two apps, this one and pdf expert and documents app. I understand that since apple add the possibility to generate PDF files from the browser you stopped supporting this app like before, but that option is not good like your app. In many times it can not generate a proper PDF file for all the continents in the page, so please take more care of your app. Otherwise, reduce the price, £6.99 is too expensive for the app in its current form. Thanks.Version: 2.3.11
✓ No share optionI wanted to save full web pages to PDF. There is no option for this in the Share Sheet like the instructions said there would be..Version: 2.3.15
✓ Yeah...keep nagging me for a review...Every $%^$&* time I use this app, I get interrupted to leave a review on the App Store. OK. Here's your review. Actually, I've found a better way to save a PDF than this, and it's built in to iOS 10: Hit the "Share" button, and select "Print". Then when it shows a thumbnail of what it wants to send to a printer, "pinch-out" (e.g. Zoom in) on the thumbnail, and get a larger representation, then send to iCloud, or DropBox, or wherever. It's now saved as a PDF, and more often than not, with better results than this app comes up with..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Crappy appCrappy app with unwanted and incorrect rotation happening every time making the app absolutely useless. Wrote to the app support and they said they’re unable to fix that stupid defect.Version: 2.3.11
✓ PDF ConverterI have paid for this and cant get help from Readdle Support. Another day and no answer from rdsupport - hey people Apple won’t help you either - all Apple will do it make sure Readdle’s email address is active nothing else. Troubles here started with iOS 13.6 update and now app doesn’t work and no one will help. It’s been 10 days and Readdle staff not answering - last email was “ we need a day or two or words to that effect. What’s with this poor service? Talk about ruining a good thing and poor customer service procedures..Version: 2.3.12
✓ Waste of moneyThe formatting is all screwed up. I feel cheated. I found a free equivalent that works better than this load of rubbish..Version: 1.1
✓ Splits a One page Doc into 2 pagesExpected much better for $11.Version: 2.3.11
✓ Not value for moneyThese people are ripper… don’t buy and waste your money..Version: 2.3.15
✓ Great idea but needs updatingOk love the concept of being able to convert images, web pages, etc. to pdf, but the problem is that I feel like this app is a bit dated. For an example, it turns my images sideways for some reason, and I’m unable to select more than one item, because I want to put more images into the same pdf document, but it won’t let me. If the developer is unable to fix this, then I want a refund..Version: 2.3.8
✓ Unusable for meI used to like this app, but since iOS 7 it is unusable for me because it only makes PDFs as US letter size. Also it does not recognise URLs from iCab mobile. Readdle support said to reinstall the app but this didn't work, and my further emails to Readdle support were ignored. I now use an app called convert.r, cheaper and with far more features..Version: 2.0
✓ Not happyIt doesn’t work for government forms for iPhones and iPads so no I’m not happy with it . You think that it’s and apple app that it would work for everything . But it dies t work for government stuff ..Version: 2.3.15
✓ Can’t import EPUB from anywhere!!!I can’t import EPUB from anywhere to this app for conversion. I have bought all of your apps. I see the subscription feature just for converting files to pdf on pdfExpert or Documents absolutely ridiculous and outrageous. Nobody would pay a subscription fee for such a thing!! So please fix this app ASAP. I really regret paying 7 dollars for this thing that has happened to be useless!.Version: 2.3.12
