Excellent! Thank you! I appreciate being able to access these via TH-cam as free tutorials.I have yet to find any better source for help than your videos. This is easily the best source I have ever found.
I spent a "Google hour" researching articles about Mac PDF editors but didn't recognize any of the sources. Coming from a lifetime of PC downloads and viruses I was nervous about trying anything. I changed my search to videos for Mac PDF editors and there you were. Like John said, "I have yet to find any better source for help than your videos." I am now comfortable about my purchase. Thanks David.
David, I have been using PDF Expert for a couple of years now and found it to be even better than Adobe Acrobat for the Mac. Thank you for the tutorial, I actually learned a couple of things I was not aware of.
Clear, concise and easy to understand. David does an excellent job of demystifying PDF Expert with clear language and deep insight into every aspect of the software. Perfect for novices such as myself who got priced out of Adobe Acrobat and need to learn PDF Expert in a hurry!
David thanks for this amazing tutorial. I just bought it with the link from your TH-cam Channel and saved $24 from their posted price from the App Store of $79.00. I just updated my iMac to OS Catalina only to find that it no longer supported my purchase software of Adobe Acrobat Pro 11 any more. I thoroughly enjoy watching your classes and have learned so much. Keep up the great work you do.
Really great video. Clear, concise and, at 1.25x playback, it moves along quickly. This quickly shows how to use the software and shows what you would unlikely uncover on your own. I have this software and was frustrated by it. Now I am really pleased. Thanks so much. Great Video!
Nice job explaining. I watched a few other videos on the same subject but they were confusing. You articulate the different features in an understandable manner. Thanks.
Had this software for a good while and never appreciated quite how much it can do. Thank you, David, for a really useful, nice to watch, instructional video. Really highlights just how useful the app is.
What great help! Thank you . . . and what a surprise--to find out in this video that PNG images are always transparent! Would have helped me in many situations before if I'd known that. You rock!
So many great tips. One concern I have, what can be done (if anything) to stop someone from stealing a signature and putting it on another document. Anyways, love the way you present your topics.
Great lesson and awesome teacher. I own PDF Expert but recently came across PDFelement. Hope to see an evaluation and lesson of this software for Mac soon. Looks like PDFelement is more robust and offers OCR.
Good job! Some comments - In two-page view, the navigation did not work. The preference options are very basic. For example, I can't change the background colour. Nevertheless, I mainly wanted this app for the bookmark feature, since Preview doesn't do this properly, and Adobe Acrobat Reader doesn't do it at all. But Preview and AAR have solid page navigation.They both do notes much better - The PE notes feature is totally primitive, while AAR is very good, and Preview has notes, which works well if used in conjunction with the sidebar. So to summarise, I would tend to use PE to do my bookmarks, and then change to Preview or Acrobat. There you go I've done my own little review😎
Hi David, Fascinating video. great tutorial. When I switch to 'edit' the cursor does not produce a box around the text to edit. I wonder why? Can you help?
SOB!! LOL I gave up on trying to organize photos to albums years ago. My photos make NO sense right now. This is an awesome tip. I have hundreds of photos to go through. I'm looking forward to starting. And, kinda not at the same time. haha Thank you so much.
Great. THX Curious: how many stamps can you create? as a music teacher, it would be great to use those stamps to place chords on a pdf. I would need a lot of them though.
Hi, great video. Is there a way to NOT allow someone to print my document when I send it to them? I am not talking about password protect- just print. I have PDF Expert., thanks
When I have multiple pages from different documents and I want to merge them into one and some are different sizes. How do we make all of the pages the same size? Great tutorial BTW. I've been using the program for 2 years and I learned some things from this video.
Hi, thx for the video - I wonder if we can use this editor to create fillable pdf? I could not find in the settings anything like that, but I wonder if it has somewhere? Do you know?
I was filling a doctor's form and noticed my answers would erase (appeared to cover the line below or above with a white paper). Can you use/install/select an invisible background like a signature?
PLEASE ANSWER THIS! I NEED HELP! Recently I scanned my paper book from start to finish because I didn’t want to buy it again in electronic form so i took it upon myself to scan the whole thing. I finished scanning the whole book onto my iMac and everything looked good up until i had to make a PDF. Making the PDF wasn't the hard part - the hard part was that when i would make the pdf of the entire book it would not let me make the pdf with the title page at the beginning, so each time it would start the pdf from page 777 and end at page 1 so on the screen you would see page 1 as page 777 and page page 777 as page one (hope that makes sense) no matter what i tried every time I try to make a pdf in the order of 1-777 it will start from the last page of the book instead of the title page. Every time i have to go an read the first page i have to scroll all the way down to the title page. It’s so annoying, i cried 3 times. Please help me.
Can I change the colour of the sticky notes just like changing the colour of the highlights? This feature exists in Adobe Reader and in the IPad version of PDF Expert, but I do not know if I can change the colour of the sticky notes in Mac. Thank you for the great video :).
Id hoped your "upfront" disclosure of PDF Expert would have stated, if valid, the $59 initial charge is a one time lifetime license. And any forthcoming update are at no additional charges. I dislike subscriptions.
The edit text function really really sucks though. The texts get all funky if you try to change the font of the text and if you drag the text box, sometimes there are "leftover" texts in the text box. You can't seem to copy and paste the text box from page to another and you definitely can't drag to another page. It was THAT frustrating. There are even more issues to speak of. Microsoft PDF triumphs unfortunately.
I am opening a pdf using PDF Expert to edit the text in the document. When I am in annotate, none of the "boxes" show up in regards to when you were saying it will group texts together. Which means it is not letting me edit anything. Is this fixable? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks David. I've been using this for a while. The thing that is missing is a page number browser. Adobe reader has it, preview has it. I find with larger documents I have to scroll all the way back to the contents, then scroll to the page I'm looking for. Any tips? What am I missing?
I need to print large PDF files for work, I have a brother dual tray printer, I need to print legal and letter mixed sizes. Does PDF expert have that ability? I pay for Adobe right now but it has not been working properly! As always thank you David I hope your move to California is going smoothly
is there a mode where i dont see the link, in order just to click on the word if a need to when im reading? having the link visible all the time is annoying when you are reading or when you want to click it opens just to edit it
What about interactive PDFs from "Markit On Demand" etc. that say I have to use Adobe Reader to use the interactive feature to view? Is there a way to do that with PDF Expert, or am I stuck keeping Adobe Reader on my Mac to use those?
David- I’d like the mobile version for this. I have ADOBE PDF now and it’s $15 month. Need the added editing and signature feature for the iOS version as well. Wanted to make sure you get credit for my purchase so will wait to hear back. Does it include a cloud based saving feature, or do you just save documents to your iPhone/iPad or Box, etc? Thanks David- love your teaching style and content. Curt
Is it possible to find a word that repeats in a PDF and to replace that word with a new word, as an example, the business name in a contract to a new business name?
I have noticed that sometimes PDF Expert groups too much and its difficult to edit a particular item (such as a check box) when it is included in a larger group. Trying to resize the selection just elongates or compresses the box. Is there a way I can cause "de-selection" of a group selection. I have even tried to edit within the selection, but again, sometimes this works, and sometimes not.
Hi! I know that this not exactly a "paperless" concept but I have a question! During classes I use PDFExpert to read my slides and I usually add all my notes as comments. Since I have problems with reading on screens I'd like to print the pdf copies in a way that all comments are visible... do you know how to do it, maybe? Thank you :)
Thanks from France for this video David... Just one question : 3 computers for one licence, it means that IF i have a macbook pro and an I mac, I can use it for my next macbook and then it's finished? I must repay.. right? because I think it's better for me to wait for my next macbook and then buy this wonderful software,,, What do you think about it ?
Hi David, just love the video tutorial. it's real easy and fun way to learn about the PDF Expert full potentials. I've been using Adobe Acrobat Pro X (for Windows) for several years now and find similar experience with PDF Expert too but minus the huge cost with the latter. I want to have the same experience since I'm a new convert to Mac now. By the way, you stated that if I decide to buy it after the trial period is $59 (via your link) but the price shown on readdle is $79.99. Is there any specific link I can make the purchase from? Thanks
Hello, so sorry but how can you access to the free trial, everytime i download the document it seems like the only option is to pay the full package...

I've been using PDF expert for almost two years and I still learned a lot from this video.

We can do many things like adding signature and combine pdf documents in preview app and it’s free.
Yes! Would like to see the iOS PDF Expert video as well! Well done David!
What about Preview. I have found out that it has many tools to edit and work around your PDF files?
How the heck am I supposed to concentrate with those GORGEOUS eyes?!?!?
David, You make it so easy to understand. Thank you.
Great lesson and awesome teacher. I own PDF Expert but recently came across PDFelement. Hope to see an evaluation and lesson of this software for Mac soon. Looks like PDFelement is more robust and offers OCR.
We also expect if David can review us😃
iOS version demo would be great. Thanks David

Excellent tutorial David you covered it so well. Im now convinced to buy it
Price has change but I have purchased it anyway, thank you David
Thanks! Have been looking for a replacement for Acrobat. You always have good information.
SOB!! LOL I gave up on trying to organize photos to albums years ago. My photos make NO sense right now. This is an awesome tip. I have hundreds of photos to go through. I'm looking forward to starting. And, kinda not at the same time. haha Thank you so much.
Another excellent tutorial. It has sold me on the software. Thanks!
Great intro...but can you save your edited pdf as .pages? How? How can you save your edited pdf in Documents (mine reverts to unedited version).
Excellent overview -- thanks.
So does this mean that this is not useful for a resume, since a resume is usually adding information?
I really like this video. I have been reviewing several PDF apps for my Mac. And your video helped me choose. I believe I will be getting PDF Expert.
Thanks for the tips. Glad to have you back up on the channel.
Great. THX Curious: how many stamps can you create? as a music teacher, it would be great to use those stamps to place chords on a pdf. I would need a lot of them though.

Hi Its really amazing and I tried but after 4 page of editing I was not able to edit on 5th page
Can someone help me
Thanks David. I've been using this for a while. The thing that is missing is a page number browser. Adobe reader has it, preview has it. I find with larger documents I have to scroll all the way back to the contents, then scroll to the page I'm looking for. Any tips? What am I missing?
Love your videos David! Thanks for all you do!
Can you tell me if there is a tool in PDF Expert with which I can add video within a PDF file?
Awesome tutorial! Please make a video for "Best PDF for iPad Pro (latest version, 2018) 11" and 12.9." Thank you very much!!!

Hello! Why is it that when I convert an image to pdf the resolution is lower?
Outstanding, Like always; Thank you
What about interactive PDFs from "Markit On Demand" etc. that say I have to use Adobe Reader to use the interactive feature to view? Is there a way to do that with PDF Expert, or am I stuck keeping Adobe Reader on my Mac to use those?
No OCR reader with PDF Expert
The Mac display is based on PDF. This means there's a LOT of functionality built right into the system.
Hi Dave😊Thanks for the practical tip🙏Cheers from HKG Sid
David- I’d like the mobile version for this. I have ADOBE PDF now and it’s $15 month. Need the added editing and signature feature for the iOS version as well.

Hi! I would like to know about license expiration? $59 for permanent license?

Can PDF Expert handle a scanned pdf? Thank you
Is there a way to create fillable text spaces i.e. like for answers to questions etc.?
I have noticed that sometimes PDF Expert groups too much and its difficult to edit a particular item (such as a check box) when it is included in a larger group. Trying to resize the selection just elongates or compresses the box. Is there a way I can cause "de-selection" of a group selection. I have even tried to edit within the selection, but again, sometimes this works, and sometimes not.
How can I print a pdf with color pictures in black and whit in Mac?

No but how do I get my own documents on here to be able to edit
HI. How to validate someones signature on pdf expert? I have a "signature not verified" sign and i cannot do nothing about it. thanks:)

Since I have problems with reading on screens I'd like to print the pdf copies in a way that all comments are visible... do you know how to do it, maybe? Thank you :)
On their website, I do not see a way to save PDF in the many PDF types there are to save...for instance PDFX/2a2001 for certain print needs.
Another great lesson teacher....where were you when I was in high school?
Very well and detailed explained. Thank you very much. Indeed, a very powerful tool.
Excellent video 👍
Very interesting class thank you

Great lesson, thank you. Please do an IOS version too if you have the time and energy. Best regards
