What customers say about us

I've tried many PDF editors

Oct 25, 2024

I've tried many PDF editors, and Soda PDF is the only one that handles my large documents without problems. It has all the features I need, which is mainly extracting sections from large scanned PDF manuscripts. It does this accurately and presents the printing correctly. Other apps fail in one area or the other.

Positive Customer Service

Oct 22, 2024

The response from the customer service team is VERY quick. My issue was resolved on the first encounter and very professional. I think Soda stacks up there above all other PDF applications.

Fed up with the market leader, this was a great switch!

Sep 12, 2024

It is early days with Soda PDF, but I really like it so far. I was absolutely fed up with 'A' certain market-leading PDF software. They kept asking me to rate it and I kept pointing out bugs and how their DRM software was increasingly preventing access to licensed software. It wasn't fixed! No such problems with Soda PDF!
