Useless. – FileOpen Viewer Review

Yes, it will open a decrypted file. But that’s where the usefulness ends. You would think that, once a PDF file is decrypted one would be able to save the decrypted file to the same device for opening in Adobe Acrobat. Just to be clear this is NOT a plug in for Acrobat. This is a stand alone, excruciatingly slow, file decryption and (practically unusable) file viewer. The file has to be decrypted each time the file is opened. This process takes several minutes on every use. Once into the file there are no search, find, highlight, or any other kind of tools. The file scrolls slowly when manipulated. The files I’m attempting to use are for my business. The glacial speed of this app has caused embarrassment and frustration on many occasions. I have no other choice as the publisher of the documents insist on using this awful program. Also note, the last plate was in 2017. It is obvious to me that FileOpen management has no real interest in supporting iOS users. If you can avoid encrypting with FileOpen, do yourself and your customers a favor and use a different method than FileOpen.
