Soda PDF is an application used to open, view, create, convert, edit, secure and share Portable Document Format (PDF) files.[3] The software was developed by LULU Software in 2010, based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Features[edit]

Some of the main features are the following:

  • Merge/Append Files. Merge or combine files / add pages to a document.
  • Electronic Signature. Digitally sign online documents.
  • Rearrange Pages. Rearrange/reorder pages within a document.
  • Full Text Search.
  • Delete Pages.
  • Rotate Pages.
  • Access Controls/Permissions.
  • Commenting/Notes.
  • Cloud storage integration

Other Soda PDF features are based on older versions such as Soda PDF 2012 and Soda PDF 5. The software also has the ability to read comic book files such as CBR and CBZ, and eBook files such as EPUB.[4][5]

Soda View / 3D and Create[edit]

Soda View/3D is a free PDF application users can use to open, view, and create PDF files. The flipping animation tool of its patent-pending 3D feature enables users to go through pages of PDF files as they would in real life.[6] CNET has praised the 3D Reader as being “clean and inviting,” as well as “fast and easy to use.”[7] However, the program also installs unwanted software that creates frequent pop-ups in Windows.
