History

[edit]

Inception

[edit]

Kdan Mobile got its start in 2009 when Kenny Su developed PDF Reader, an application that converts documents into PDF files. The application was well received by the market and inspired Su to start Kdan.

Initial Products and Growth

[edit]

Kdan's flagship applications include the PDF Reader series, NoteLedge, and Animation Desk series. They have since added Markup, Write-on Video, and NoteLedge. Their applications are supported on all operating systems and are available on smart devices and desktops.[citation needed]

In July 2015, Kdan launched a new series of apps (Creativity 365), integrated with its own Cloud services.

The company built upon its experience with PDF technology by successfully introducing DottedSign, an eSign service, in the spring of 2019. DottedSign is available on any device or operating system.

All projects and documents created or edited in the company's software can be stored on the Kdan Cloud, their online storage service. The Kdan Cloud was released as a standalone application available for download on Apple and Android devices in early 2019.[3]
