We’re excited to witness the next chapter for PDFpen, and look forward to seeing the great things ahead.Nitro Software was founded in Melbourne, Australia by a team of three, as an alternative PDF software to Adobe Acrobat. On behalf of the team and us, it has been a phenomenal experience building and supporting PDFpen over the years. We’re available to answer your questions. If you need anything please continue to reach out to us via our support portal. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be working through the logistics of the transition. The primary team that manages PDFpen will be joining Nitro. We’re confident that moving forward, our customers will be in good hands with Nitro. More importantly, we share common values, including an intense passion for the customer and building exceptional products. Together we share similar visions for making document productivity easy, powerful, and available to all. As we’ve done our due diligence, we’ve found Nitro to be an exceptional match. PDFpen has been a part of Smile’s DNA since nearly the beginning - so we wouldn’t pass it along to just anyone. We see a tremendous opportunity to combine PDFpen’s technology with Nitro’s resources and vision, delivering a huge benefit to you and your business.
Nitro has an exciting vision for document productivity that aligns closely with our vision for PDFpen. You have been with us, some for the whole time - and we thank you.
We even shipped PDFpen as a physical retail product, which appeared on the shelves of the Apple Store. We upgraded our OCR capabilities, developed cross-device sync, and added a plethora of new features. We introduced PDFpenPro and PDFpen for iPad/iPhone. From its origins as a tool to help users sign faxed documents, PDFpen has come a long way.
#PDFPEN TRIAL MAC#
This week we announced the acquisition of PDFpen by Nitro Software, a global leader in document productivity applications.ġ7 years ago, we created PDFpen to enable Mac users to more effectively manage PDF documents, accelerate their transition to digital, and enhance their productivity. And of course, I might very well live to regret those words. I can’t make an informed general recommendation, these are just my personal thoughts. In the end, I have seen nothing in my use to warrant mistrust and I have decided the benefits of DT (searchability, E2EE, capture, deep links) were very real and the fears were not proven, at least in my personal case. Nothing in all this is scientific or provable in any way, which is why it’s a tough question to answer. I believe DT’s devs care a huge lot about user data, even more now after this serious fright. In a nutshell, after having some fears, I realized my personal experience does not substantiate any loss of confidence in the app compared to what people are saying and there might be a shred of collective scare. And I suspect at least some cases of that famed data loss might be in fact attributable to user error. There are no reports of any more missing data on their official forums and I believe, due to the nature of the Internet, that if there was a widespread situation, it would literally have been burned to the ground by now. DEVONtech support has always been helpful when I had problems. Personally, I have seen exactly two ghosts which were very quickly picked up by DTTG. Now, that’s a really tough question to answer as I think it boils down to a very personal level of confidence with the app. Thank you very much, sir, much appreciated! I admire your many accomplishments, as well as your calm and kindness online, which is something I do learn a lot from. (On an entirely unrelated matter, it’s a joy to have you here, Jim) (And I know you can’t react to what I just said – nor should you ) On the other hand, I don’t trust Smile anymore for anything. This problem was much more serious but, as far as I’m concerned, I ultimately still trust you guys and the app because you kept your user base in the loop, owned up to everything, helped everyone and fixed this. If I compare, DEVONtech managed the recent difficulties with the ghost files ten times better, with clear communication, constant development and stellar support. Nothing happened despite continuous promises.ĭifficulties can be understandable, especially in such a time, but for such a long time now, this points to a vision / leadership problem. Using my affiliate privileged channels, I have pointed Smile to growing dissatisfaction and concern about TE. I used to love the product, and recommend it heartily to my readers, run contests on my newsletter and so on.īut I couldn’t help but see that a) development was barely active despite the promises and b) the software was running worse and worse. I used to be an affiliate for TextExpander.
