"Excellent PDF Compression" Posted 2023-09-15
Pros: This is the only PDF manipulation library we found that is able to consolidate multiple copies of the same embedded font, and it does so very quickly. In our application, we create many separate PDFs, each with embedded fonts, then we merge those into a final PDF. Using this library, we're able to reduce the final document by over 60% (in one test case, from 3.4MB to 1.2MB.)
Cons: The only negative is the licensing model. The library is broken up into a number of modules that are separately priced on a per-document basis. This means that you only pay for the features you need, but you need to do a good up-front analysis to avoid multiple trips back to the well to add modules you didn't know you needed at the start.
I prefer a per-developer "all features" license, but we were able to reach a fair agreement.Overall: Excellent. The pre-sales engineering support was outstanding. They put together a proof-of-concept for us to test the compression, and we were able to integrate that into our application with very little effort. The team was easy to work with, and the post-sale customer support has been proactive.

"PSPDFKIT Review as an Indie Developer" Posted 2023-06-28
Pros: I liked how the SDK was well documented, so as a indie developer newbie it was fairly easy to understand how to implement pdf technology and features into my iOS app.
Cons: Because I'm using this SDK/technology for developing iOS apps, I would like to see more support for the SwiftUI framework. Currently, some of the more minute features that I needed only worked with UIKit and not SwiftUI.
Overall: PSPDFKit had great features too add to my note-taking app, and made my job implementing pdf and annotation functionality to my app significantly easier. The SwiftUI framework is well supported by the PSPDFKit SDK, but I'd like to see more features ported from UIKit to SwiftUI.
