Thanks for the 10-star rating Shirley! We'll pass this on to the team.
Nice features, but is it worth it?
Comments: Overall the app had nice features, but the free trial is limited and I don't know that the premium was worth it for the time being.
Pros:
Lumin PDF is a user-friendly app for editing and managing PDFs. It integrates well with Google Drive and Dropbox, making it easy to access and save files. The app offers useful tools for annotating and collaborating in real-time.
Cons:
The free version has limited features, and the app can be slow with large files. The paid version is pretty expensive.

Hi Mitchell, thanks for your honest review and for giving Lumin a go. Please feel free to let us know how else we can improve by sending your feedback to us at [email protected].
Simple to use, but very limited options
Comments: Lumin PDF is too limiting to be used efficiently. There are other apps that offer better options that are free or at least aren't so limiting in the free version. The layout & ease of using it is good, but it doesn't make up for the lack of capabilities in the free version.
Pros:
Lumin PDF offers a Google Chrome add-on & integrates with Google Drive. It is easy to navigate & use. The layout is simple. It is a good tool to fill & digitally sign documents.
Cons:
The free version is extremely limited. There are constant pop-ups to upgrade. It allows you to annotate a pdf, but in the free version you are unable to edit the pdf. Plus, with the free account, you can only have 3 documents to edit/share.

Great Cloud Files Editor, But with Few Collaboration Capabilities
Comments: My overall experience with Lumin pdf has been great only that I hope they add more collaboration capabilities to make collaborating on file editing effortless, especially for teams. It possesses advanced pdf editing capabilities, so I would still choose it for cloud files editing and documents signing.
Pros:
Excellent cloud-based support for file conversion, editing, sending and signing. It's seamlessly integrates with some of my software stack like Google workspace with significantly improve how I edit my files from cloud storage. It enables me to add comments to files which makes it easy for others reading the files.
Cons:
If you're looking for a more collaborative Pdf editor, lumin pdf may not be the best choice as it lacks most of collaboration features such as team editing.

Simple PDF sofware
Comments: Overall, I like how simple it was to operate. It's simple to modify and excellent for document signing.
Pros:
Because Lumin is part of the Google Drive platform, using it is quite simple. It is simple to use every day to sign and amend papers and offers a wide range of capabilities. Lumin is far superior to document printing and scanning. I heartily endorse it.
Cons:
At first, Google Drive's file saving or reuploading feature could seem a bit confusing. The Lumin PDF is also a bit challenging to utilize. Even though it has an excellent solution, occasionally Lumin loses its connection to Google Drive without warning, and I have to enter it again.

Hi Naz! Thanks for your postive feedback. This gives the team the motivation to always improve our service.
Decent software but somewhat expensive
Pros:
The signature feature was what drew me to the software and it worked excellent. Thankfully I only needed to sign 1 document. I did not have to use the editing options much, but for my limited needs, it worked very well. The integration with Google Drive makes uploading your files very easy.
Cons:
The limited signatures for the free version is, well, a limitation. But so long as you don't need to sign a lot of documents per month, it's not an issue. It's a little confusing when editing a document how to get back to the "home" screen where your documents are, but once your figure that out (trial and error), it's a quick recall.

A supportive system in building out our company org chart
Comments: I never needed to call customer support. Everything always worked as needed.
Pros:
Lumin was helpful in creating a manual company org chart that grew as our company did.

When editing a huge chart, it was challenging at times to move cells around central in the chart to make room for new employees.

Free trial saved me a lot of extra work and stress
Comments: Very easy to use. Trying to change some documents to pdf fillable usage for a few new clients due to needing information before seeing them due to COVID-19 situation.
Pros:
I was glad that they offered a free trial because I was in need of having a pdf option for some very important documents that needed to be done ASAP. I am glad that this was here and it was very easy to use during a very stressful time.
Cons:
The cost of the program once trial period was completed. I would have continued to use this product as needed for my new clients but I do not get enough new clients to use this on a daily basis in order to get my money's worth.

Great for PDFs in Gmail
Comments: docu-sign on pdfs. I can do all my accounting from y computer
Pros:
Integration into google workspace has been a lifesaver in the transition to work from home.
Cons:
there are a couple features that I wish had a basic free option. being able to create certain vector shapes (like an arrow) would be helpful. Also being able to use a camera to capture your signature

Hi Mac! Thank you for your honest feedback! We are incorporating more features and trying to give people the best experience possible that can be available to the free version.
Great Product
Pros:
The feature that I use the most is the saved signatures. My boss is a busy man and is traveling between different regions. I use this feature when I am doing evaluations for my employees to get their raises, and I'll email him to get his approval, but I've got his signature saved from a previous document that I can apply. So ky employees get their raises a lot faster than having to wait on my boss to be in town and physically sign them.
Cons:
I haven't used this product enough to have any dislikes about it.
