Kdan Mobile Software Ltd.
In my opinion, the software is good for performing any PDF operations related to annotating, faxing, converting, highlighting, e-signing, including reading (if using mobile version of the application). There is also an ability to edit files, but in my opinion it's not really comfortable to do on a mobile device because of the lack of keyboard.

This editor is not made for reference designing pdfs, but for simple editing, it is more than efficient. Many PDF editors require a subscription for something as basic as typing a name or date. PDFEscape is perfect for this and can be done online without any software download.

Pros
Kdan Mobile Software Ltd.
  • The ability to fax documents without having to use a fax machine or a scanner is great - saves time and other resources (paper, man hours etc.).
  • It's also nice having the feature to convert files right away in the app - and the number of various formats you're able to convert to PDF is quite high.
  • The overall multifunctionality of this app is also something worth mentioning since it has features for highlighting text, editing PDFs, creating and filling out forms and much more.

  • The upload document function often gives an error message at first upload and you have to go back to the main page to upload again.
  • A mimic font and text size tool would be of benefit.
  • The whiteout tool is a white box and not a pen, which could be easier.

The app wasn't great, in my opinion. The interface wasn't as good as PDF Reader, while the features were not that advanced.

Return on Investment
Kdan Mobile Software Ltd.
  • It's been great so far, having all our employees use the PDF Reader when dealing with PDFs - since it's easy to use and is quite multifunctional, we're able to accomplish quite a bit with a single app installed on all of our devices.
  • It's great for saving time and adding e-signatures, so we aren't actually using any other e-signature apps.
  • It's so easy to use that everyone is on board and using the app for all kinds of PDF tasks daily.
