pdf Paginate Pro App Comentários

Looked promising at first

At least for a book that uses Russian Cyrillic, the cyrillic is somehow transformed such that selecting and copying words using the default Mac preview app no longer works propertly. For example: "научиться" selected and pasted from the new paginated version copies as "R̆ӯΔΘЍΓΝΒΠ" Also understanding how the user interface works is far from intuitive, but I figured it out by trial and error.

Excellent

Simple app that does what it promises: paginate a pdf. Very reasonable price. Developer extremely helpful with answering user questions. Highly recommended.

Works!

Using OSX Ventura 13.6 on iMac, I needed page numbers on a compiled PDF file. The file was created by merging multiple PDFs into a single Treasurer's report, a monthly task of mine. Paginate added the page numbers beautifully and quickly. I had to spend 5 minutes experimenting with how to discard my test page numbers as I compared various font styles and sizes. To erase the cluttered test page numbers, I simply clicked on OPEN to re-open a refreshed version of my file. Easy. I also have to use my Mac's Font Book app to see a visual of what each font would look like. Would be nice to see the fonts while in the app, but it's not a show stopper. $5 well spent, if this first-time use is any gauge of future performance. Thanks, Francis!

3.0.0 Update

The new update has just too many bugs. If the PDF you open in the app has some horizontal and some landscape pages the software just breaks. It used to work beautifully before. Also, now the page numbers appear to be a textbox on the PDF, instead of being a part of the file, and it's too easy to accidentally click on them. I'm really missing the old version of this software.

Works great

Worked perfectly to add page numbers to a large pdf document (over 100 pages) on my M1 Mac.

Extremely Helpful for Exhibit Page Numbers

This app was a huge help, and worked exactly like I needed it to on Big Sur. Used it to apply numbers to an exhibit to legal pleadings. I've worked a lot with Bates numbering in the past, and this tool works well for adding them to a document quickly. Thanks!

Just right

Nicely designed app that does one thing really well IMO. Great for adding page numbers to PDFs. Simple and not overcomplicated, but enough features to handle different needs. Nice to be able to specify before text, after text, font, text color, location, and starting number. At one point I made the error of keeping the font colored white from a prior usage and couldn't understand why the numbering was not showing on new documents (with white backgrounds), but the developer quickly pointed out that my chosen font color was my issue. Works for me!

Stopped Working...

It worked so well at first, but recently when I try to use it, crashes occur. It just disappears! I have paid for this app so this is not at all acceptable! I updated the app and even upgraded my OS (from Mojave to Big Sur 11.0), and it still does not work. Something needs to be done, or a refund is in order. I would be glad to positively update this review but, until this problem is fixed, I can NOT recommend this application.

Don't use this

Adding page numbers to the PDF destroys the ability to copy and paste text from the PDF to something else. This is a common problem with programs like this. I've found that SmallPDF does this without destroying the PDF.

It puts the numbers on the pages

Or does it put the pages under the numbers? This great mystery may never be solved, but who cares. I have numbered pages.

Saves me hours

I never knew I needed this app until I needed it. Applying page numbers to pre-made meeting dockets is a snap and saves me tons of time. The developer is responsive and helpful.

Cannot move numbering

Bates numbering often needs to be moved to accomodate existing text on a page. You cannot move any of the numbering. You can edit what the numbering looks like and where it starts prior to saving but you cannot MOVE numbering to be higher or lower or more centered on a page. This makes this PAID application completely useless for bates numbering.

Saved My Dissertation

i work with a lot of images, so i had a separate pdf file of images for my dissertation that i wanted to put at the end as an appendix. i was losing my mind trying to figure out how to paginate literally 150 pages of images without having to do it by hand, and this little barebones app did it in no time at all. if i were not quite as desparate, perhaps this would receive a slightly lower rating, because it really is about as bare-bones as you can get. The only thing that gave me frustration was that the page numbers at the bottom of the page (a requirement for my university) are almost too low to be visible. I am still reeling with relief that i don’t have to number what feels like a million pages by hand, so take this with a grain of salt, but honestly: a+++ from this very tired grad student

Saves me heaps of time - Great App!

I am not sure why there are some negative reviews. I used to add page numbers manually using Preview. This app does it automatically and I like the fact that I can nominate the 1st page to paginate, add leading text and even add new pages later and repaginate! Maybe there are scenarios where it doesn’t do what the user expects but as far as I am concerned it does exactly what it says it will do and reading teh responses from teh developer tells me his very proactive. A trait not found in many developers especially at this price point. Great job Francis!

Great program, especially for Bates Numbering.

I read some of the negative reviews before purchasing and I don’t get them at all. I found the program easy to easy to use and the developer to be very responsive. I would like to address the critics who said this program is not right for Bates numbering and that the recipient can move or manipulate the numbering. The numbering can be changed but NOT if you finalize the project by doing a File Print, Save as PDF. This process locks in the numbering — very similar to flattening in PDF annotation software. I recommend this program without reservation, and I’m anxious to see what’s next from this talented developer.

Waste of $19.99

Bought this app to number 450+ pages for a court filing. I was not able to customize as expected and had to manually edit each page number in Preview so there was no space between the page number and the letter that followed the number. This should be default and if you need a space, you add it in the app in front of the letter (or character you want to follow the number). Also, the placement of the number in the bottom right corner is too low - again, this should be something you can fix in the app. I expected this to be a timesaver, but it would have been just as fast to manually add page numbers in Preview.

Useless

This is useless for Bates stamping. If you save it as a PDF, you can move the numbers which completely defeats the purpose. If you try to print as a PDF, the numbers are so low on the page that they’re partially illegible. This was a waste of money and I’m totally disappointed.

Does not Bates number documents!!!!!!

I bought this app because it made repeated claims to Bates number documents; however, it’s unusable for Bates numbering documents and its description misrepresents what the app can do. What the app does: adds an editable and removable text box onto the pdf. This means anyone can edit or delete the Bates number thereby eliminating the unique page identifier that Bates numbering is supposed to provide. If you are not Bates numbering, then editability and removability of the text box could be a problem if you are adding page numbers for citation purposes. I am sure there are some useful applications for editing and removing the text box this app adds, just not for Bates numbering. What the app does not do: batch process documents. As most people know who have to Bates number documents are aware, it rarely the case you have just a single document to Bates number, yet this app only can process one document at a time. Customer Service: After asking about how to batch process documents or a lock on the text box, customer service stated that my questions/complaints were seen as benefits by others. And then recommended different software, going so far as to provide a link, for Bates numbering documents because the features I sought are not what his app does. The overall exchange with customer service quickly deteriorated and got combative merely because I expressed a belief that the app is misrepresented in the app store. To conclude, if you are looking to Bates number documents, I strongly recommend not to spend your money here. I still believe that this app is misrepresenting itself and that by recommending software for Bates numbering that the developer knows it is misrepresenting what its app can do.

Terrible.

This App will not even open the PDF. Avoid at all costs, waste of money.

Great to have for anyone writing & publishing

This lets you number pages and then when you have revised some of the pages and inserted some portion of new PDFs, it will know what to number again and what not to. Very slick! If you use self publishing, this is essential. A great value.

Won’t Open PDFs…So I Cannot Paginate

I’ve tried various ways to open my PDFs so I can paginate them and this app won’t open them. As a result, I cannot paginate. I’ve even tried going to the support page and all it takes me to is a generic Wordpress page with how to add pagination. I want my $7.99 + tax back. This app hasn’t worked for me since I purchased it. I do not recommend it.

Exactly what I needed in a pinch...

I’m under a deadline for a grant that calls for a number of PDF attachments, all with page numbers. I quickly searched for an app that would let me add page numbers to the document I created in Preview. Paginate Pro came up and I quickly decided to spend the $8 (versus whatever Adobe Pro costs!). Five minutes later, and my document has clearly indicated page numbers. Wonderful application, easy to use, and definitely useful for those of us who are often working with lots of separate PDF files. Bravo!

Simple and Effective

I love this app. It performs a feature that most PDF programs ignore, beautifully. I highly recommend it.
