“Priceless”
When it comes to its core features PDFGenius does most of them fast and best of all it has presets that save you time and limit the guess work on what may be standards. Compression is the main thing I bought the App for and it does it perfectly. I saw the presets and tried them first. Discovering that sending the files this way not only saved me time transferring but did not lose quality. Then came the Extraction of Images from PDF’s. This s…

“Love this App!”
As a teacher who teaches in Board where every student and teacher is issued an iPad, working with PDFs is crucial. I’ve been struggling to find an easy way to merge PDFs. Everything I came across seemed to be inadequate as many of the reviews were negative. This App works great. I does exactly what I need and merges them seamlessly. It’s fast, simple, and has so many tools for PDF manipulation that you need not look anywhere else. I think th…

“Brilliant PDF Editor”
I bought this mainly for the ability to delete pages or more importantly split a PDF so I could take a large 50mb+ PDF and truncate it, the features are simple, it does it in a matter of seconds, I can choose to split by file size chunks or by pages, works a treat and I can now email them to my Kindle. Plan on using the other more advanced features but so far this app has proved to be worth the money!

“PDF Genius & PDF Optim”
The PDF Genius and PDF Optim Apps are very professional and well designed. The software is easy to use and very stable - As a firm of architects, we regularly create detailed drawings which need to be compressed and exported to clients with great resolution. The PDF Genius and PDF Optim Apps are ideal for this - allowing us to combine multiple documents, modify them and then compress the resolution. I would strongly recommend these products…

“For all your extra needs for editing PDFs”
I can just say, I love this the PDF Genius App! It is really genius! To delete pages (and the file size is reduced, what not all programs do!), combine or split PDFs, reduce in size (you have various options what to adapt), ... and it can to lots more, what many other Apps can't. It is THE extra for your PDF Editor App. I use it a lot and I find it a great tool I will definitely save also a lot of time in the future as I did in the past! Tha…

“Does what it says!”
I have used Nuance PDF Converter for some years now on my PC. I have used the Nuance product to combine and split PDF files, combine graphics and Word files to produce student manuals. On my iMac, PDF Genius does everything I want to do for a tenth of the price. I am very impressed. Well done! PDF Genius is an excellent PDF editor and more than meets my needs and expectations.

“Easy and fast splitting”
I needed PDFGenius to do one thing: split a 200 page PDF mail merge document into 200 individual PDFs. It did the trick, quickly and easily. It even gave me options for labeling the output files. At $9.99 it was a bargain since it saved me hours of work doing it manually via Preview. Worth every penny. Thanks.

“Must have software”
If you work with pdf files, PDFGenius is a must have application. It does all kinds of useful things — merge multiple pdf files, remove unwanted pages in a pdf file, split up a file, rotate pages so you don’t have to twist your head to read vertical pages, and much more. The support is also excellent. I got some pdf files that had some king of format error in them which prevented merging. I sent two files to support and they identified the p…

“Simple and effective”
I was looking for a simple PDF editing program that would allow me to extract or delete pages from an existing PDF, but without the Adobe Acrobat price tag. After trawling through dozens of (mostly amateurish) programs that simply mimic the annotation function already available using Apple's onboard Preview program, I found PDFGenius. This app is simple, intuitive, and quick to use. I can't understand why no one else seems to have developed…
