Not Just a Reader — We’re Racers: Driving Productivity Forward with KDAN PDF
“Racing is all about pushing the limits. It’s about going faster, braking later, and taking risks. If you’re not pushing yourself to the absolute limit, you’re not really racing.”
— Max Verstappen
Just like racing, productivity is about precision, control, and momentum — and that’s what KDAN PDF stands for.
After more than a decade of refining how people work with documents, KDAN PDF (formerly PDF Reader) is shifting gears. We’re not just a Reader anymore — we’re a performance-driven tool built to help you get the most out of every file, every project, and every second.
With 15 years of document expertise behind us, KDAN PDF is moving forward to deliver a professional, reliable, and intelligent solution for the modern workspace.
To celebrate our new brand identity, we’ve included a free trial code inside — and here’s how KDAN PDF began its journey.
A Brief History of KDAN PDF
Since its debut on the App Store in 2009 — the same era the first iPhone changed how we interact with technology — KDAN PDF has grown alongside the digital document revolution. In the years that followed, we launched on the Mac App Store, Microsoft Store, and Google Play, ensuring that users everywhere could view, edit, and manage their PDFs seamlessly across devices.
In 2017, we introduced Document 365, a cross-platform ecosystem connecting desktop and mobile users under one subscription. Our products have since been recognized by G2, Product Hunt, and TechRadar, earning trust from millions of professionals around the world.
Today, KDAN PDF has surpassed 100 million downloads — a milestone built on a solid foundation of technology, consistency, and user trust. And that foundation is what drives us confidently into our next chapter.
Why We Rebranded: A New Era of Motion
Workflows have evolved. PDFs are no longer static pages — they’ve become dynamic containers of information that move fluidly between AI tools, cloud services, and collaborative teams.
As user expectations grow, people want more than a simple PDF viewer. They need a smart document partner — one that helps them extract data, digitize workflows, and gain insights instantly.
Our new brand identity reflects this momentum.
- The Wheel Symbol: Inspired by continuous motion and teamwork, it represents the ever-turning cycle of productivity — a workflow that keeps rolling forward.
- Dynamic Red: A brighter, lighter hue that embodies energy, precision, and the spirit of speed.
- Simplified Design: Minimal yet bold, it ensures our mark is instantly recognizable and easy to present across every platform.
KDAN PDF’s refreshed look is more than visual; it’s a statement. It represents progress, agility, and a commitment to helping users move faster — with clarity and confidence.
