SUPPORT OTHER FILE FORMATS

Trying to open different file formats like a modern and widely used simple .docx file will result in an error popup, stating its format/extension is not supported by the program. Of course the essential idea behind this application is to handle the odd and old file formats, but it would be cool to see it handle the ordinary as well, to create an one stop default application for file handling.

SAVE TO PDF

After opening and performing the wanted adjustments to your document, you can save the new file into PDF format. It would be so much better if options like save to .doc/docx/txt etcera will be implemented in future versions.
Of course we can import a PDF in almost any other word-processor, but sometimes changes in the layout of the original document are made. A common behavior of PDF format change and something to avoid if change is made once or if chosen kept in the default file conversion PDF.

VERDICT

Cisdem Document Reader for Mac is not an extensive program so reviewing is limited to what it basically does, ‘read/convert’ and save odd and old file formats into common filetypes. If you are stuck with these odd and older file formats and wish there would be a utility helping you out in an uncomplicated and fast way Cisdem Document Reader is your choice. Its interface and layout is common to other (pdf) file readers. Cisdem Document Reader does a wonderful job in converting with speed and accuracy and saves you time and effort searching the internet for conversion websites.
