$35 for a prettier version of something you can do in disc utility for free anyway. are they serious?

hangs when connecting and has to be force quit - every time

it's a quite interesting, elegant looking and bloat-free word processor. however the main selling point; native PDF format and editing is a bit of a red herring:

sure, pagehand edits PDFs it has created itself and it saves as PDF by default. but when you consider that it can't even open PDFs created in other apps [not even in read-only mode!] and that editing a pagehand PDF in any other app with PDF editing capabilities [such as adobe acrobat] will render that PDF unusable by pagehand, you realise that pagehand's alleged PDF skills are nothing more than a bit of a parlour trick

there's nothing here that can't be achieved by using print > save as PDF from any other mac application. pagehand may save you the visual clutter of having to keep separate editable and PDF versions of your files, by cleverly combining them into one. but this single 'editable' PDF format is so tied to pagehand and so easily broken that it's not really worth the hassle.

i'd love to see a WP which did offer 'proper' full PDF editing capabilities, but the sad truth is that this is not possible, because it's not the way adobe have designed the PDF format to work. so until adobe change the format itself, apps like this will crop up every now and then promising a lot, but ultimately disappointing.

finally, the price is ridiculous for a version 1 app, when you consider the wealth of fuller-featured writing tools out there for OSX.
