    UsefulPDF

    UsefulPDF

    UsefulPDF is a simple product with a simple goal - make it simple to work with PDFs. That’s a lot of simples, we know. While it’s not always easy to accomplish our stated mission, we pour our sweat, tears, time, and energy into making it a reality. We’ve been there and used the business software that’s bulky, unruly, and almost useless. We’ve experienced when software that barely works gets thrust on you, and you have to use it for three years because the contract is in effect. That’s the opposite of what we’re creating at UsefulPDF. The founding team comes from a software background for small businesses. You know, if it’s too hard to use then, they’ll drop it like a bad habit. Even though bad habits aren’t too easy to cut.
