This program is the best...I use it every day. You can manipulate pdfs to put items where you want on a page, redraw lines, copy and paste, ....everything you would like to do. As well, you can edit your jpegs, with new items I discover every day. It's regularly updated, and, best of all, the support is exceptional. An email to the developers is responded to in a very short period of time, often within an hour.

The problem I see with this app is that over the years the menu became overcrowded. If you open context menus it's a jungle. I have many ideas to improve but I present only one here. "Refresh" make a little circle next to the folder to refresh and take it out from the menu.
