    Hmm, all of the freebies today (this, Penbook and Mind Maps) are made by the same dev team… https://user.camp/apps/

    Spirality is free too: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/p/spirality/9nrjglmxpv55?act…

    Free PDF tools does the job nicely (PDFill)
    https://www.pdfill.com/

    How does it compare to that perhaps

    • Nukkels on 28/06/2021 - 07:29

      Well this one looks newer than 1997…

      • G-rig on 28/06/2021 - 07:34
        +2

        True as long as it works as well, but installed it and will test it out.
        Simpler is better a lot of the time, Adobe DC reader is good for viewing. PDFill for splitting/merging etc

        Agree the MS store is a pain, but found it easier on the phone grabbing it and automatically installs to PC.
        The system exception and popups at the end to 'rate us' are unwelcome in terms of the Screen Recorder Pro that's also free.

        • Prince321 on 28/06/2021 - 18:44

          If anyone knows, does it to editing? Better than adobe pro dc?

  • C0mbat on 28/06/2021 - 07:06

    The fact that there are no reviews of this 4 year old app is weird. I'm keen to know if anyone else has used it

    • Nukkels on 28/06/2021 - 07:28

      It's because nobody uses the MS store…

      • Flyerone on 28/06/2021 - 07:59

        This is a reasonable answer.

      • C0mbat on 28/06/2021 - 08:06

        But I can't find anything about this anywhere online.

        Edit: I downloaded it and gave it a go as I needed to split a PDF and then merge it back with a signed page. It unfortunately couldn't do the JPG to PDF conversation but the split and merge capability is so easy to use so it does the job nicely.

  • metacoz on 28/06/2021 - 07:50

    I would also recommend Pdfsam Basic . It provides the same functions if not more. It is free, open source and cross-platform.

    • Bold Eagle on 28/06/2021 - 11:17

      Good tip and other review sites also note this as a solid product so I have DLed it for when the need arises.

    Are there any user friendly 'free' apps similar to Bluebeam, marking up stuff is a little painful in Adobe DC reader?

    • 0HDAM on 28/06/2021 - 10:14

      Let me know if you find one.

      • G-rig on 28/06/2021 - 10:32

        only know of Foxit, but may need to sign up and is a bit sh1t too

        • 0HDAM on 28/06/2021 - 10:42

    I just use XODO, I grabbed it from the MS store when I purchased my Surface Pro 3 way back in the day and have kept using it since, still using it on my Surface Pro 7.

    I also use it on my Galaxy Note 9. It can do a fair job of manipulation, editing, splitting, page deletion etc and I can use a pen on it as well both on the Surfce Pro and the Galaxy Note. I find the UI a little quirky but have adapted to it.

      another shout-out for XODO from me too. Great PDF tool, been my goto for about 2 years now. The Reflow text tool under View Mode, and the options to change the BG and TXT colours are indespensible when reading at night.

    how does this compared to Adobe Pro DC which works provides me for free?

      Adobe Pro DC can do everything else this product cant.

        Without being too specific - spectroscopy. Light response of organic compounds in environmental samples.

    I use this. Don't really want to risk upload and download my PDFs using online tools. This one is offline on your computer. It's simple and does its job. Recommended.

    Is there any way to install Microsoft apps like this without tying my device (my PC running Windows 10) to my Microsoft account?

    • Agret on 03/07/2021 - 15:31

      You can sign into the store and when prompted press to "sign into microsoft apps only" and then your Windows account stays as a local account and you can still use the store.

    Can you merge PDFs and add a password /security lock to it using this app?

  • rokufan on 28/06/2021 - 15:56
    +3

    I got this free a couple of years ago from an OzBargain post.

    I use it regularly.

    Pros: Simple and quick to use.
    Cons: Crashes every time you merge and save doc in a new name. Though, it does successfully save the doc.
    Also dragging files to the app to open also crashes, instead open using the "open PDF" button.

    • G-rig on 28/06/2021 - 17:35

    PDFill, PDF24, PDFsam, PDF Shaper, PDFTK Builder. They're all free and pretty much all do the same things.

    Surprising why is this basic functionality not built into Windows like it has been in MacOS for years.

    • spammingb on 28/06/2021 - 23:08

      Agree MacOS can do things natively. Actually heaps of the MacOS default apps are way better than Windows. Just makes MacBooks so seamless and easy to use

      • BadGiraffe on 29/06/2021 - 15:33
        +1

        Didn't realise native MacOS apps could do stuff like that. What else can the default apps do that Windows needs a third party app for? Not an attack. Genuinely curious.

        • dangerdanger on 29/06/2021 - 22:15

          Print-to-PDF
          Drag any PDF (whole PDF or individual pages) into another PDF, and rearrange the pages
          Signing PDFs apparently but I don't use this
          Screen-shot to PDF / jpg / many formats
          Screenshot - whole screen / window of interest / custom-sized by dragging the cursor
          Numbers (excel), pages (word), keynote (powerpoint) - all free
          Alpha on pictures (this is absolutely awesome)

          Those are some of my favourite
          I use Preview for the above so much it's not funny

            Windows 10 has this natively

            Of course their free as no one uses them compared to Microsoft Word, Excel etc. Just look at any Higher Ed or Corporate

          There is also terminal in macOS, has so many packages and does very powerful functions if you are comfortable using terminal and commands. As often people feel the need to install additional software for a one off task that macOS can already do out of the box.

          • [Deactivated] on 03/07/2021 - 19:36

            @Crownanchor: Thats because macOS is built on Unix as the core system kernel

            • dangerdanger on 03/07/2021 - 21:19

              @[Deactivated]: That's good to hear Windows has finally caught up. Pity they lost me when they created Windows Vista. What a nightmare that was. Never went back to Windows since

    Also from the same developer and free is "PDF Fill & Sign".

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/pdf-fill-sign/9nz2mfpx0x4g…

    • G-rig on 29/06/2021 - 12:46

      Just had a quick look, why are these Microsoft apps so basic looking? Guess they are made to be table friendly or something.
      Adobe DC reader can do all of that.
      The first PDF I open there are boxes around all the text.
      Good to test some of these out but all seem pretty rubbish (not an attack on you).

      • shavi on 29/06/2021 - 16:34

        Agree 100%. A very basic app which would not warrant the RRP.
        I think this is an example reflective of the quality of apps available on Windows vs other platforms.
        Let's hope Windows 11 and Android compatibility (albeit via Amazon for now) can catch up.

    • Arcticfox on 02/07/2021 - 09:10

      Thanks for the heads up, grabbed it too.

  • deals4amar on 01/07/2021 - 18:16

    Is this available as an app in play store or just Windows?

  • krouton24 on 03/07/2021 - 09:34
    +2

    PDF24 works well, is free, does pretty much all Adobe Pro functions and can be used completely offline.

    • [Deactivated] on 03/07/2021 - 19:28

      Is it Open Source free or does it have annoying Ads ?

  • ultraviolet on 03/07/2021 - 20:07

    As the other suggestion above mentioned there is an office suite called Libreoffice (used to be Staroffice then Openoffice). I used it to replace the pages that requires signature in the document - offline.
