Windows version
I bought a license for Windows. I don't use the software often, so each time I use it it requests me to log in again. This is very annoying and beats the reason of using a lightweight pdf editor. The worst part is that it requests Windows administrator priviledges with each Windows start. Since it it invasive I decided to uninstall it.

Great PDF Editor
I have the PDF product. I needed to be able to edit/highlight/notate on PDF files and this was was a better priced option.
Extremely capable app that does everything I need it to. My only complaint is having to log in to get full features. I'd prefer that they just give you a key in case you need to use it offline.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this thoughtful review! We’re really happy to hear that SwifDoo PDF has become your go-to tool for editing, highlighting, and annotating PDFs, and that you find it both capable and well-priced. That’s exactly the kind of feedback that makes our team smile.
We’re seriously looking into adding an “offline activation” or permanent key option in one of the upcoming updates so you can use the full version without needing to log in.
Thanks again for choosing SwifDoo and for the honest feedback—it genuinely helps us improve.
Basic functionality is okay but I have…
Basic functionality is okay but I have a lot of issues, some are minor, others serious.
1. Poor compatibility with Acrobat. SwifDoo has trouble opening PDFs with imbedded functionality, like fill in the blanks. Also, files encrypted with SwifDoo can’t be opened with Acrobat.
2. Missing useful functions, like a printer driver so you can “Print to a PDF”. Which is something I find really useful.
3. The user interface is not intuitive. For example, there is no scroll bar on the right side of the screen. And the software always takes you back to the same page you were on the last time the file was open. It’s a nice trick, if you like it, but you can’t turn it off.
4. I have a perpetual license. But once a month the software forces you to log in again. Very annoying.
I have more, but you get the idea. I give the software 2.5 stars. I do not recommend it and I would not buy it again.

Dear Valued Customer,

We understand your concerns regarding compatibility with Acrobat, particularly with PDFs containing embedded functionality and encrypted files. Our team is actively working on enhancing cross-platform compatibility to ensure a smoother experience.
Regarding the missing printer driver for “Print to PDF,” we recognize how valuable this feature is and will pass your suggestion to our development team for consideration.
On the user interface, we’re sorry to hear it feels unintuitive, particularly with the scroll bar and page retention feature. We’re exploring options to make the interface more customizable, including the ability to toggle features like page retention.
Lastly, we regret the inconvenience caused by the monthly login requirement for perpetual license users and are reviewing ways to streamline this process.
We truly value your input and would like to address your additional concerns. Please feel free to reach out to our support team at support@swifdoo.com with more details or specific issues, and we’ll work to resolve them promptly.
Thank you for giving SwifDoo PDF a try, and we hope to improve your experience moving forward.

Works as advertised, but?
The product does everything I tried to include adding pages, editing text including adding, deleting and changing. It can do more but I haven't tried it. My only problem is that it is built and based in China. China has a policy that the government owns part of every company and they could have embeded nefarious code in the software.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the product’s functionality. We appreciate your insights on its capabilities, including adding pages, editing text, and other features.
Your concerns about the product’s country of origin and potential security implications are noted. To address these, we recommend reviewing the developer’s security documentation, such as third-party audits or data privacy policies, to ensure alignment with your standards. If you’re still concerned, exploring alternative products with similar functionality from other regions could be an option.
I have to congratulate them for the quick response and resolving the issuesDo not throw money don the drain
I tried this software on line, and it managed to convert a PDF to a DWG file. I decided to by the PCversion, and when I tried to convert the same file, I got blank sheets with grid lines across it. I contacted them, and they say that it is the source file. I pointed out that the same source file was successfully converted on their own online service, and on another company's free online service. I asked for a refund, as the software is useless to me, but they said that they do not refund activated software. I do not recommend it, it is waste of money, and I shall continue to insist on a refund.

Functionality dissatisfying
The functionality of SwifDoo is mediocre, not worth the money. Many competing apps offer similar functions, those however are for free. The wording in the advertising implies more. I would never spend money on it. I will observe, whether they will "constantly improve" their product.

What a value for an excellent PDF editor!
I just renewed for another 2 years because SwifDoo Pro is an excellent program for an excellent price! You don't need Adobe.

Important Notes
I desperately need the option of displaying a grid for the rulers.
Furthermore, it would be very good if the dimensioning tool could display the SI unit METER.
I would be very pleased if this could be implemented soon.
Therefore only 3 stars for now.
