Still makes itself the default application for opening pdf files. After updates. And regularly when using the application. This is unacceptable behaviour.

Pretty extensive set of options. But I can give it no better than a 3 rating because of one design problem. If I open a pdf with it, the app automatically sets the default for ALL pdfs to open in the app. This is pretty obnoxious because a pdf app like Preview does 99% of everything I need.

I have never seen an application whose menus are so badly localized : a pathetic mixture of French and English.

Nice looking interface. All functions are easy to find and use. I'm giving this app only one star because ... 1. PDFs take a long time to load, even files that are not all that big. 2. The app does not, in spite of the tools available, convert PDFs into txt, docx, other, etc. It seems to produce only blank documents. 3. The OCR doesn't work; keeps saying 'Try again later.' 4. The app seems to unexpectedly quit far too often. But, if the developer can solve these issues, then this app has potential.
