Noped out.

1) Defaulted to setting PDFExpert as my PDF viewer,

2) followed with a survey I could not close out,

3) required an account to begin.

I'm happy it works for you but I'm tired of the modern software that wants accounts, your data....

I'm not surprised by this.

Readdle's apps, namely 'Documents', have always been my go-to on iOS for editing PDFs and transferring files[1].

But they went and added a useless VPN to Documents, then released a 're-design' which cuts functionality (and from the reviews is quite buggy). It's sad to see a quality app degrade as the developer adds bloat and new 'features'.

1: For example, Documents (which edits PDFs as well) has a built-in WebDav server that is super useful for getting files between an iPhone and a Linux machine over Wifi.
