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.

When I get any pdf form to fill, I use this software to fill in all the required details. It is very easy to fill any form in pdf format in this software. Whenever I need to sign any official document digitally, I use this software. It also helps us to protect our confidential documents with password protection. We add passwords to our confidential documents with the help of this software.

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.

  • OCR comes in handy when you need to scan a document image for embedded text for edits. This feature is a common tool but the accuracy of OCR helps for quick edits.
  • Conversion options are a plus and a must-have when you need to convert between Microsoft Office and PDF.
  • During the pandemic, the ability to offer digital signing with personalized signatures is a major plus. Glad to have this tool available when needed.

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

I tried Smallpdf for sometime. It is also a very good tool for pdf related tasks but it doesn't provide a comprehensive functionality to edit a pdf document. I couldn't modify the text of my pdf documents in Smallpdf. But SodaPDF gives me the functionality to edit/change the text of my pdf documents. So I shifted from Smallpdf to this software.

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.

  • A recent project came across my desk where we had to recreate static files into editable word documents. Thank goodness for the OCR feature. It made for an almost flawless conversion. Minor edit here and there, no fault of the program. It was more due to the file quality of the original scan. Saved me time.
  • The feedback option is another plus: The review/comment function is great for easily getting document feedback. We just started using this feature. Another time-saver.
  • Document management due to file conversion options makes it easier to keep documents all in one place. Also, the ability to share these documents with coworkers is a major plus!
