  "Don't do it! They'll leave you high & Dry!!!"

  April 30, 2013  |   By easilett-2

  Version: Docudesk PDF Essentials Plus 3.0.1.1

  Pros

  It was easy to download and get started.

  Cons

  Support went seriously downhill. They force you to upgrade but the upgrades prevent the software from working so then couldn't use PDF at all. They promised a fix but it never came. They simply ignored my requests for bug fix or money back. BUYERS BEWARE!!!

  Summary

  Buyers Beware!

  "no good - only 1 window open at a time"

  January 15, 2013  |   By johnkhsiao

  Version: Docudesk PDF Essentials Plus 3.0.1.1

  Pros

  deskPDF editor does allow annotation of pdf's

  Cons

  only 1 window can be opened at a time making combining pdf's incredibly painful.
  they reneged on their money back guarantee

  Summary

  Don't believe the reviews you read. deskPDF editor/studio is not a substitute for Acrobat & the company is a ripoff. ONLY 1 WINDOW CAN BE OPEN AT A TIME! I've been looking to upgrade my Adobe Acrobat 8 on the Mac but didn't want to pay through the nose for Adobe. I saw and ad online from Docudesk for their deskPDF software which offered a money back guarantee on their suite of 3 products - deskPDF creator, editor, & exporter. The reviews looked pretty good (4 -5 stores everywhere I looked), the list of companies which supposedly used Docudesk impressive, & $65 was a lot less than the $112 price to upgrade to the latest Acrobat Pro (w/ an academic discount). deskPDF creator is completely superfluous on Mac OS X. deskPDF exporter sounds like a good idea but I didn't really try it out b/c deskPDF editor turned out to be so useless. The main things I wanted to be able to do were to annotate PDF's (highlight, comments, etc), delete &/or crop pages, & merge multiple pdf's. deskPDF editor did make it possible to annotate & edit a single pdf, but it has a fundamental problem in that only 1 window can be open at a time, making combining multiple pdf's extremely difficult (not impossible, I admit). I couldn't imagine any modern piece of software behaving like this, but that's what deskPDF does (or doesn't rather). Realizing that it was totally unsuitable & assuming that Docudesk would honor their money back guarantee, I contacted them. Absolutely no response. My mistake for taking Docudesk at its word. deskPDF sucks

  "Worked Great, Confusing line of products"

  April 8, 2012  |   By MarkBiomedical

  Version: Docudesk PDF Essentials Plus 3.0.1.1

  Pros

  File migration from PDF to Excel, filled out and back to PDF was great. The trial page limit was easy to work around to test it. I like to pay for good software. This is a great company with great products as far as I can see.

  Cons

  PAYING is a pain. There are 4 products with no cross comparison chart. Even after writing and getting friendly responses, I can not figure out what I must buy to have all features. Please make one package priced to get all features and then sell your separate products. Please make a chart that shows all features cross referenced to the products. As soon as I can figure out which I need I will buy them for myself and for a couple of my employees to start.

  Summary

  Just what I needed. Excellent clarity and simlicity. Conversions are much better than I have seen in the past. These will save my company a ton of time.

  "Docudesk is a winner"

  March 10, 2012  |   By oldtimer49r

  Version: Docudesk PDF Essentials Plus 3.0.1.1

  Pros

  Thoroughly delighted with this product. Simple to use and results are spot on every time. I was impressed with the website when I found it through searching, and am equally impressed with the software itself. When making the purchase I experienced a problem using the payment processor but Docudesk customer service was fast, friendly and sorted in no time. Such a pleasant change from so many other vendors these days. Highly recommended.

  Cons

  None so far

  Version: Docudesk PDF Essentials Plus 3.0.1.1

  I have been using Docudesk products for a few years and find the software decently priced, reliable and fitness for purpose. It meets all the definitions of great quality.

  "Excellent and easy"

  February 20, 2012  |   By RLPeacocke

  Version: Docudesk PDF Essentials Plus 3.0.1.1

  Pros

  Being a 50-something old fella, I need software that holds my hand in the things I do on my computer. Docudesk's pdf software does all that and more. And why is being able to produce a pdf file so important to home users, you might ask? Well, I use it to send paperwork and other printable files and photos, as a pdf file, to other users and don't have to worry about what systems they are using - they get the stuff just as I designed it.

  Cons

  Nothing yet.

  Summary

  Highly recommended for the home user.

  "I hope to learn more about this product as I use it."

  February 16, 2012  |   By AAUWEditor

  Version: Docudesk PDF Essentials Plus 3.0.1.1

  Pros

  I had a question several weeks ago about my Docudesk program. To my utter amazement, I received two replies within less than 30 minutes with easy-to-follow instructions. I'm no computer whiz, so simple instructions are vital. When the head honcho takes the time to respond to a customer, I have to say that I'm totally impressed. Thanks to your quick response, I have now downloaded the $49 upgrade you offered. I would not normally take a chance on unfamiliar software, but I feel confident that any problems or questions I might have will receive the same courteous and speedy replies. Keep up the good work, and I'll be a customer for life!

  "Great product!"

  February 14, 2012  |   By kaparks44

  Version: Docudesk PDF Essentials Plus 3.0.1.1

  Pros

  Easy to use; creates quick, clear pdfs - always. Quick and easy to install - really excited about the new editing feature available - the ability to combine pdfs is terrific! Also really appreciate the friendly and extremely efficient and helpful service I've received when I didn't understand how to do something. Great product, great company!

  Cons

  Until they created the editor (which they have done) I couldn't combine pdfs without printing. But now I can!

  Summary

  Really impressed with the products and the company.
