    Problem switching image from landscape to portrait

    Updated: Feb 20 2021
    Summary

    Molly is an excellent tech.

    FYI: I support the software end of my husband's business. He loves that I'm able to utilize Soda to help him with technical material.

    Positive

    I needed an image displayed landscape on a page changed to display as portrait. Soda's tech, Molly, provided me the steps and it worked. The next day I needed to do a similar thing but those steps didn't work I was lucky and got Molly again. Puzzled, she had me send the new original and the one I tried to change. She fixed it and sent it back to me. As a former IT / Software Trainer, I could tell Molly knew "her stuff".

    Negative

    None.

    Transfer your pdf file to word with Soda pdf

    Date: Apr 11 2021
    Summary

    As mentioned I used Soda pdf in online schooling. Normally in the classroom I print out the working sheets (pdf) and distribute to the pupils - later I collect the results. In internet teaching this is not possible. I have a lot of working sheets in pdf on my stick. I need a tool that fits: pdf -> word. The transforming from Soda to word was lousy. The pupils know word, but they refused to fill out the soda result in word. So much different formats in the word file.
    The pupils did not want to print out the working sheets at home (costs ink,..) they want to fill out online in word.
    Other functions in soda I did not need and so I did not use.

    Positive

    + runs under win10
    + a lot of functionalities
    + easy transfer a document (jpeg, xls,..) to pdf.
    + menu of soda is easy without explanation

    Negative

    - automatic renewal of the contract
    - does not fit my needs after transforming from pdf to word

    Positive

    Quick response.
    Reps sticking with the problem until was solved.

    SODA PDF Review

    Date: Dec 01 2021
    Summary

    I highly recommend SODA. It's very affordable and user-friendly. It has all the editing feature that you need such as converting, editing, compressing, merging, and securing documents.

    Positive

    What I like most with Soda is you can use it online and offline. I always travel and some places that I go to don't have a stable internet connection. So it's very convenient and you can feel at ease knowing that your can still work anywhere and anytime. And it's more affordable compared to Adobe given that SODA offers almost the same use as Adobe.

    Negative

    The trial version is requiring us to register and give out some personal information.

    There wasn't anything that bothered me. If I had to say something, I could say that my "problem" would not have occurred if the website showed the format of how the date is listed. (MM/DD/YY or DD/MM/YY) I am in the US and thought my renewal date was in March instead of December.
