This would be a perfectly serviceable PDF editor, but...why is there no undo button in editing mode?? I've had to start over and over just trying to edit one form...if I try to just add text on top in “Fill and sign” mode instead, which inexplicably DOES have an undo button, there's very little way to control where it “lands” and no way to move it around. These things combined meant I couldn't actually use it for anything useful.

Thanks for your feedback! We totally understand how frustrating that can be. The undo feature in editing mode is indeed something we’ve been hearing more about, and it’s already on our radar for future improvements. We appreciate your input!

This app is a total disappointment. I can't edit a PDF because the app keeps wanting to zoom in on stuff and it's hard to bring up the options I need. Even worse, there's too much emphasis on AI gimmicks. I have uninstalled the app because I am not going to give myself a migraine while trying to use it again. Will there ever be a free PDF editor app with no ads that's easy to use and doesn't shove AI down my throat? Unfortunately, the answer is no...

The only reason I downloaded this app in the first place, was so I could delete multiple pages from a PDF document. It does that operation just fine but the issue being, the edited version is the exact same size as the original version. That won't work for me because I'm trying to reduce the actual size of the PDF document, so I can send it as an email attachment. Therefore, I'll be uninstalling this app, ASAP.
