I think the way i get feedback from my boss is the best. It's simple and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't find anything i dislike from pageproof yet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only good feature is that comments appear in real time, as opposed to other proofing software where they only appear once submitted as a whole doc. Which means you can be working on the doc while in review. But also uploading a new doc doesn't delete all the comments written, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pretty much everything. The animation and the clunkiness of the interface, it's hard to see which comment is related to something drawn on the doc. It's just not an intuitive or nice piece of software to use, Proof HQ is better in every way except price.
If you upload multiple documents you cant see the individual file names without going to page grid.
The tools for marking up feel archaic, I can never tell what tool i have selected because the icons are pretty much identical.
There's no easy way to zoom in and out via key commands.
There are no easy tools for measuring or checking alignment they're buried on clunky menus
If you have a document that happens to use the pageproof background colour there's no way to see the edge of the doc it just blends in.
On the 4th of July they replace your cursor when uploading a proof with a stupid firework animation that means you can't click on anything.
The proof tracking is diabolical, I've been using this for years and I can never find a proof I'm looking for on the dashboard, so we have to result in pasting the relevant latest proof links into a ticket to track them.
In short it's pretty crappy and hasn't improved in years. It's not easy to use, it's been implemented badly, the customer support is okay, unfortunately I have to use it daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hi! Thank you for your review Richard. We'd love to walk through some of your feedback with you – you can turn off 'celebrations' under your profile, there are shortcut keys for zoom and the ruler tool etc, even one for outlining the document edges if you need that too. We can show you where to see the file names on the proofing screen as well (you don't need to go into the page grid to see them). Just reach out to our team via the in-app chat 👍
~ Thanks!
