What Our Clients Say

Amazingly easy to use and impressive PDF performance - closest thing to iBooks so far!

– Martin Reichart, iOS Developer

Let me first say how happy we are with your framework. I’ve found the user experience, the developer experience, and overall performance of the viewer to be excellent. I don't want to have my company name listed. Using your editor is currently providing us a competitive advantage over our piers - I don't want to make it easy for them to figure out what we're doing!

– (Unnamed company in the Financial Services industry)

I'm becoming a real fan, because it's really a fantastic library!

– Jesper Avot, Avot Media BV

Thanks for the excellent product, and also the excellent service. We're very happy with our purchase.

– Steve Krenek, zyquest.com

We're extremely happy with the PSPDFKit. It's really incredible, and it'll really help make the app complete.

– Chan Kruse, iOS Developer (secret project; company will be announced once complete)

We're seriously in love with PSPDFKit; it's saved us a ridiculous amount of work. Awesome stuff.

– Randy Becker, iOS Developer at Punchkick Interactive

I just had to change your example's filename and published it. Everybody's pretty happy with it. The nice and smooth behavior has been highly appreciated.

– Pierfrancesco, iOS Developer

Remember when I said I would open source PDF Kit for iOS? Well, I won’t. Just buy http://pspdfkit.com from @steipete instead.

Apps already using PSPDFKit

PSPDFKit is already used in lots of AppStore apps. We're linking here only a subset, as some customers have policies that disallow linking or only deploy In-House Enterprise versions. For example, PSPDFKit is being used in British Airways internal crew applications to view and search various manuals & docs. "It was nice and easy to integrate and get working and works a lot better than our previous viewer!"

Note: those apps may not use the latest version/all features of PSPDFKit, be sure to also check out the KioskExample to see the full feature set.
