The only reason I downloaded this app in the first place, was so I could delete multiple pages from a PDF document. It does that operation just fine but the issue being, the edited version is the exact same size as the original version. That won't work for me because I'm trying to reduce the actual size of the PDF document, so I can send it as an email attachment. Therefore, I'll be uninstalling this app, ASAP.

I've been using PdfGear on my PC and phone, and it’s been a smooth, reliable experience. The app feels lightweight, intuitive, and covers most of my PDF needs. A few suggestions: adding an "Add Folder" option, support for SD card storage, and a rotate feature would be helpful. Also, adding highlight and area highlight options would greatly improve annotation. Overall, it's a fantastic app with just a few features that could make it even better

Does pretty much everything I need In a PDF, including creating and storing signatures for future use, and has complete editing capability, all free! They have it for all platforms, completely free, unless you plan to use or add the AI package. I'm going to end my Acrobat subscription and use this! It has all the functionality I need. It's very light in terms of the UI, which is preferable over the silly/redundant options that Acrobat reader employs. The user interface is excellent!
