Overall Satisfaction with Soda PDF
When it comes to PDF converters and the more affordable PDF tool on the market, my Soda PDF is an excellent, user-friendly way to both create and convert PDFs, edit and fill in as well as offer a sign document feature with a personalized signature. Another advantage of using My Soda is that I receive email updates on new features with detailed video tutorials on how to use the new features when they are presented.
- 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.
- Spooling of batch printing could cause the program to freeze up. However, I believe this has to deal with internal ram and not the actual software.
- Locating files after creating them could be hard if you were unfamiliar with setting this feature up. It defaults to the program folder documents. You can choose a different location. Maybe asking the question ahead of time could ease those that are not in the know about making this correction.
- Faster loading would be helpful. Sometimes it lags when you create a file as it opens the program for viewing. This may depend on internal ram, however, I have not had the luxury of testing the software on a high-end PC.
- File conversion is very important, along with OCR PDF creation.
- Digital signatures are now being used to sign off on projects. This tool is awesome.
- License costs are a major plus. Thank goodness software options like Soda PDF are available to those who can't afford the costs of Adobe Acrobat.
- 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!
