I came across PDF Genius by chance. I have no idea how I could have missed it before. It’s absolutely fantastic! It does exactly what I need at a ridiculously low price. I use Preview for PDF viewing so I don’t need a viewer. But for rearranging, deleting and adding pages, combining files, adding meta data and best of all, setting the initial viewing options and adding password, PDF Genius has it all and much more. It is now my favorite PDF utility.
I noticed that the developer offers a huge number of very cheap pdf apps for every thinkable situation. Instead of putting them all in one expensive app you can just purchase the ones you need. Ideal for professionals like myself as well as students and even kids learning to work with PDFs. Problem is that all those apps are not visible in the right column on this page. You have to click on the developer’s name to go to a page that features all of them or go to the developer’s website. That’s a pity because people might look at PDF Genius and think that it’s missing some features. When I found the other apps the business model made sense to me. Instead of paying a huge amount of money for an app that does everything, you buy the app you need when you need it. Smart!
