I have found this program to deliver consistently positive results and I can only recommend it to anyone who has a lot to do with the PDF format.I've used it a lot for conversions and loved it. I can imagine that there is no other program that offers so many possibilities.read more
Watch what features you really are getting
Reviewed on 2021-03-31T08:29:14
The product is better than it was. Faster to start, better interface, but really check what features you get.They are slightly weaselly with words. For example, it looks as if you can annotate on Standard, but it is very limited, with comments and stickers disabled. I have never felt Soda are honest in their feature structure, and this continues to be the case.
Their response below is positive but do you still expect to pay £35 a year to add comments? Not when you can do the same with Adobe's free thing.read more

This is the second time I have…

This is the second time I have subscribed to SODA PDF, the first time in 2019 was a nightmare,it was full of bugs and the constant upgrade adverts drove me insane. The sad thing is that it could be a really good alternative to Adobe but it’s STILL fraught with issues. I cancelled after a few days because the frustrations outweighed the benefits but they gave me some free stuff and extended my licence for an extra 3 months so I carried on, in the end I just stopped using it.
Last week I needed an Editor so gave it another go and guess what nothing has changed – it’s got a new interface and a couple of improvements (if they worked.) I have once more contacted there CS three times and each time received a standard reply that they are experiencing high demand, I can’t think why! Oh, wait a minute, maybe it’s because your product doesn’t work" I have seen other ***** very good reviews on here, God knows how they arrived at that conclusion but each to their own. Here’s my last email to SODA Customer Services - draw your own conclusions.
[this is third time Ive tried to get this resolved, I either want the product that I’ve paid for (today) or please just cancel my subscription and refund me and ill purchase PDF Editor which incidentally does work and isn’t restricted.
I am already sick of the constant SODA upgrade advertising and if there is a NEW version why have I purchased an old version? What I downloaded isn’t finished -The GUI has dead links, text boxes that you cannot populate - why launch something that clearly has major inadequacies with the user interface and user registration database? You have sent me an email confirmation of what I had purchased, my login works, you have taken payment in full and yet failed to give me access. This is totally unacceptable and the fact you link yourselves with MICROSOFT makes it even worse… do THEY know it’s so bad?
Response to SODA:02/03/21.
I purchased with my business emil and password, and I WAS/AM SIGNED IN, its still asking me to start free trial which is how you download the program then its asking me to repair modify of remove SODA 12 when I purchased SODA 360...Ill wait with baited breath to speak to someone:(
IN SUMARRY If you can get past the first few days without issues and actually use the product make sure you have a telephone support bolt on cos you’re going to need it.read more
Soda PDF Desktop 12 not fit for purpose
Reviewed on 2021-02-24T11:46:43
I used to be a fan of Soda PDF Desktop 11 but the so called "upgrade" to version 12 has been nothing short of a disaster.I have been plagued with one problem after another. Their support team have got me to uninstall and reinstall on numerous occasions but problems continue. I am now reverting to Adobe which is a far superior product.read more
