ZenDocs Reviews

Summary: ZenDocs has become part of the standard toolkit within our company. It's so much easier to be able to tell a new team member to "use ZenDocs" for a signature than to walk them through other complex software. It's reliable, universally accessible, and just gets the job done.

Positive: The combination of editing, signing, and compression tools in one place is perfect for a fully remote team. We use it for everything from signing contractor agreements to compressing large project reports for our shared drive. It has eliminated our dependency on a single computer with licensed software.

Negative: It would be nice to see a simple integration with cloud storage like Google Drive or Dropbox for direct uploading, but for now, drag-and-drop from the desktop is still very efficient and works well.

Summary: For free, it's a phenomenal resource. Advanced PDF editing is not something I have to do very often but when I need to, ZenDocs is the first place I go. It worked perfectly for compressing my invoices, and I never had to create an account or download anything. It just works.

Positive: The toolset covers all the essentials: converting, compressing, merging. I used it to compress a batch of scanned invoices for our accountant, and it worked perfectly. Generally speaking, the site is quick and doesn't bombard you with ads or upsells.

Negative: The 'reorder pages' functionality in the merge tool could be more visual. It is a text list of filenames, which works but a thumbnail view would make it easier to verify you have the right pages in the right order when working with similar-looking files.

Summary: As a designer, I am always sending proofs and concepts around. ZenDocs lets me rapidly compile my work into client-ready PDFs without having to ever leave my browser. It is a no-nonsense utility that fits in perfectly with my freelance workflow.

Positive: I always use the JPG to PDF converter when I need to send an image-based mockup to my clients in one single professional file. It's very fast, and the quality of the image is retained. Plus, the merging feature is very nice for putting together different design iterations into one presentation.

Negative: I would appreciate it if there were a feature for adding a custom filename before download instead of just having the default one generated. It's a small workflow improvement that saves me a renaming step afterwards.

Summary: It has totally revolutionized the way I organize my study materials; instead of being stuck with some monolithic PDFs, I can curate exactly what I need. Simple but powerful tools have made my study sessions so much more efficient.

Positive: I love the split and merge functions of this software. I can take a huge textbook PDF, split out only the chapters that I need for my class, and combine them with my own notes to make one custom study guide. It is very empowering.

Negative: The only minor gripe I have is that the page load times are a couple of seconds longer after uploading a very large file, such as a 300-page textbook. It isn't a deal-breaker, per se, but it has been noticed.

Summary: I deal with sensitive client information, and therefore security is important. ZenDocs gives me an easy way to add a layer of protection to documents without necessarily having to invest in expensive software. It is surely a part of my monthly file management routine now.

Positive: For me, it is essential to be able to protect sensitive PDFs with a password. I use it for financial statements that I archive in the cloud afterwards. The encryption appears to be strong, and password protection is set easily in an instant.

Negative: More than that, I would like to set different permissions instead of having one single master password to unlock anything; for instance, allowing printing but not editing. That would provide more granular control on sharing protected documents.

Summary: I was in a panic when my presentation file would not load onto the client's computer. I quickly uploaded it to ZenDocs, converted it to a PDF, and it displayed flawlessly. It turned a potential disaster into a non-issue. Truly, I'm impressed at how well it worked.

Positive: I had to convert a Keynote presentation into a PDF right before the meeting. The PPTX to PDF converter did great, keeping all transitions and formatting intact. The entire process was super fast; I was able to download and send it with minutes to spare.

Negative: The 'create PDF' button is large on the page, but some of the other tools like 'compress' or 'merge' are somewhat smaller on the home page. A more evenly distributed layout may make it easier for beginners to discover all the features within this application.

Summary: It has modernised the onboarding process for our small company. We've eliminated the pile of paper on my desk and made the experience much easier for new hires. The platform is reliable; it does what it promises without overcomplicating anything.

Positive: We use the fill & sign tools for all our new hire paperwork. It's so much easier than printing out packets. New employees can complete everything digitally on their own time, and we receive perfectly filled-out forms without any missing signatures or fields.

Negative: A simple template library of common HR forms like W-4s and direct deposit slips would be great, even as a premium feature. We upload our own, but a starting point would be convenient.

Summary: I've been putting off organizing my tax documents for weeks because it involved so much scanning. With ZenDocs, I just used my phone's camera and created a single PDF for each category in minutes. It turned a dreaded chore into a simple task.

Positive: The feature to create a PDF from several images was exactly what I needed for digitizing my paper records. I took shots of old receipts and invoices with my phone, uploaded them, and it created a neat, single PDF document in the correct order. The image quality remained perfect.

Negative: It would be nice to have auto-straightening for slightly crooked images for those who are not perfect photographers. It's a small thing, but it would make the final PDF just that little bit cleaner.

Summary: This saved me so much time on a tight deadline. Instead of wrestling with printer settings and a scanner, I just uploaded all the separate files, dragged them into order, and clicked merge. The entire process took two minutes and the result was exactly what I needed.

Positive: The merge PDF function is flawless. I had to combine a cover letter, a project quote, and several reference pages into one document for a client proposal. It handled the different page orientations and sizes perfectly, creating a clean, professional-looking file ready for sending.

Negative: It would be nice to have the possibility of reviewing just before finalizing the merge, just to double-check the page order once more. You can reorder before merging, but a final preview would add that extra peace of mind.

Summary: I was dreading the back-and-forth of printing, signing, and scanning a contract. Using ZenDocs, I had the whole thing executed in under an hour. It’s so much more professional than emailing PDFs back and forth and hoping nothing gets lost in the process.

Positive: The e-signature tool is so intuitive and fast. I had a freelance contract that needed to be signed by three remote clients, and the system walked them through it without any confusion. The ability to track who has signed and send reminders saves so much time.

Negative: I wish there were a few more customization options for the email notifications that get sent out to signers. The default text is fine, but adding a custom message would make it feel more personal for different types of agreements.

Summary: I prepared my visa papers and didn't encounter a single hitch. Everything performed as advertised and saved me a lot of prep time

Positive: ZenDocs reduces creating, merging, and signing documents to a snap. Export options are uncomplicated and files do not cause any errors.

Negative: It could utilize an autosave for extended sessions.

Summary: ZenDocs has made remote approvals a breeze. I do everything in minutes and proceed to the next task without a hitch.

Positive: Signing and downloading contracts instantly. No wait or involuntary signups, which I like a lot.

Negative: They could include date autofill on signature field

Summary: I depend on it when emailing financial statements to clients. The whole process is fast, reliable, and positively lean.

Positive: I utilized ZenDocs for merging scans, editing margins, and exporting polished documents. Everything remained high quality.

Negative: It could provide additional cloud export choices.

Summary: I mark papers and leave comments electronically now. ZenDocs simplifies marking and makes it neater than working with printed copies. Wonderful workflow enhancement.

Positive: It is so easy to annotate assignments within ZenDocs. The markup and pen functions are quick and well-positioned.

Negative: Zoom does not persist after turning pages now and then

Summary: ZenDocs is my trusted pre-presentation companion. Last-minute editing of proposals is seamless and reliable. Prevents me from being embarrassed by mistakes.

Positive: Edit pdf function within ZenDocs allows me to make changes to proposals at the last minute before a meeting. I am able to correct typos or reorganize text on the fly.

Negative: The interface could really use a fresher and modern look.
