Provides functionality beyond Skim and Preview - Version: 4.1.2, 5/12/2009 08:04PM PST
Bud Simrin
Despite an earlier reviewer's complaint that this app is overpriced because Skim and Preview have most of its features, I find that not to be the case. I use Skim and Preview a lot, but I use pdfPen when I need to add or delete or rearrange pdf pages in an extremely Mac-friendly environment. I use it a lot to insert or replace pdf pages I create in Word (using SAVE AS pdf). Also, when I fill in forms using Skim, the text disappears when I reopen the file with Preview or even Skim I believe, but the text filled in from pdfPen "sticks" no matter what app next opens the file. So, when I need to reuse filled-in forms, I rely on pdfPen. I also like that I was able to scan in my signature and save it as a pdfPen object for easily inserting (with resize capability to make it fit) into forms. I do find text creation and editing in pdfPen clunky compared with, say, Word, but I suspect that this is just the nature of pdf editors in general.
Try the demo first. - Version: 4.1, 3/12/2009 04:54PM PST

This sounded perfect for filling in the forms I currently use Acrobat for. I find Acrobat slow and clumsy. The demo was unable to fill in any of the simple forms I use: on the government forms it couldn't fill in the check boxes, on my work forms the pop-ups didn't work and it filled every field in the form with the text from the last field edited and on the form I made myself in Acrobat it couldn't seem to see any of the fields at all, so I couldn't test whether the calculated fields worked. I'm so glad I didn't buy a license based on the description of its features.
Sounds perfect but it was totally buggy and useless.

Priced way too high, should be $10. GREEDY developer. - Version: 4.1, 3/3/2009 03:54PM PST

This app and its big brother PDFPenPro, are wayyyyyy overpriced. Considering that so much of PDFPen's and PDFPenPro's functionality are available for FREE in Leopard's Preview and a freeware app called Skim, this should really cost only $10, and PDFPenPro should be $20. At $50 and $100 this developer should be ASHAMED.
