Customer Feedback: Quick PDF Tools

Customers love Quick PDF Tools because it’s free and really useful:

I have lots of PDF’s which I read on my iPad, but some of them are missing some properties like title and author, although the details appear in the documents or file name, some of the files will always be in the beginning because of the blank title.

With your Quick PDF Tools, I managed to make sense in my collection.

Thanks for the positive feedback!

If you haven’t tried Quick PDF Tools before we recommend that you check it out — after all, it is free!
